Hi everyone. I'm 22 years old and I just came out to myself about a month ago. I don't really have any friends who would understand who I am or understand how I could identify myself in this way. I'm unsure on how to proceed and I don't have anyone I can really talk to about myself and why I feel this way. If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it. Being a female on the inside and not being able to express myself due to peer pressure and fears from how people treat us regularly is daunting, and I guess I want a friend or many to talk to. And to top it all off, I've always identified myself as a girl since I was like 4, but my family really can't accept me like that, so they shoved being a man on me ever since I was little. I have no idea how to even act like myself anymore, and that is the most frustrating thing in my life. I always put a persona on to match the mood and just get by. One thing that helped though is that I'm definitely attracted to women, so I was able to play off a lot of scenarios, but makes me even more confused. Does that make me a lesbian in a males body or what? Thoughts please? I just can't understand how to go forward without some confirmation on what's going on in my life.
