Questioning my gender identity
Hello uhh I am very very confused as to what my gender identity is. I was assigned female at birth and have always identified that way. Growing up I have tried to experiment with more masculine clothes and hair but I was pretty heavily bullied. I since have realized I have been suppressing any questions I have about my gender identity. Now as a senior in high school I am very confused. I can’t tell what I feel as opposed to what I am supposed to feel. I am already a part of the lgbtqia+ community in terms of my sexuality. When I look in the mirror sometimes I like my feminine figure other times i feel uncomfortable. But I can’t tell if that’s because of femininity or I just struggle to love my body sometimes. I feel pretty fine as feminine but I think I like androgyny. Moments that I’ve been referred to as “they” stick out to me. I ordered a binder because I think I wanted one. I have an anxiety disorder which is pressuring me more than anything to determine my identity. However I couldn’t bring myself to tell my friends or therapist the questions I have. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has ever felt the same or if I’m valid. Thanks for reading this as been a big weight on me. I’m scared of big change.
