[AFAB 18] What Gender would this be considered?

3 Upvotes

Hey there! :D

I just wanted to ask something that's been on my mind for a long time now. :)

I’m trying to figure out my gender. I have this feeling of feeling like nothing but a bit like a girl but then you realize it’s more like oh I feel pretty feminine or I feel pretty masculine and yet you still feel like you are something and nothing at the same time and you just don’t even know what it is anymore.

I’m so confused about this, especially because it just kinda changes. Although, the nothing feeling is pretty persistent almost all the time despite the oh I feel masc (which I LOVE and leans towards honestly) or I feel fem (which is nice sometimes! And def what my personality gives off lol) which is what changes. Other times I’m like yeah I’m kinda a girl and then it goes away and I’m like yeah it’s nothing again, and I don’t really care. I don’t exactly know what this would be, but I hope it makes some sense? 😅

Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated!! :D
I don’t mind questions if needed! :)

[F 22] Im questioning my sexual orientation, what should I do?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

22 year old university student here. In the last couple of months I think I began to question many things about my sexuality. I have been in a relationship for 2 years now and in the past I have had long-term relationships with men.

I was always sure that I liked boys, all my life. When I downloaded tinder after my first major breakup I only looked for boys and didnt even think about anything more.

Of course like most girls I know I have been kissed by other girls before. When it happened with my close friends it was nothing, like I have a best friend and when we were both single and partying we kissed sometimes but nothing more and only when we were drunk. So I had a few of that.

But in the last couple of months I feel like I am attracted to women as well as men. Im not sure of that. I am questioning my sexual orientation because I cant imagine being in a relationship with a woman, but I can imagine sleeping with one eventually.

I dont know what to do or who to talk to.

Is there something wrong with me? (M 18)

Upvotes

I'm 18, male, and Black. I don't have a girlfriend, never had a girlfriend, and have never kissed anyone.
I have many female friends, and love women. I describe myself as a feminist.
I was raised by as strong mom and the best women throughout my life.
I don't harbor any hate toward anyone and really don't like incel culture.
I have never done anything toward a woman that she wasn't comfortable with.

I also made sure I don't have ridiculous standards.
I just want someone who's kind, loves art, humor, loves to talk, and is left leaning.
I would also love to be a stay at home dad, I don't have a racial or ethnic preference.

Maybe it's just because of my age, but I am genuinely confused.
I love myself and who I became to be, but if this is how it's going to be for the next 80 or so years, I'd at least like a confirmation.

Disclaimer: I am not asking for any pity. I am merely sharing my thoughts. Thank you.

[M 20]How did you figure out if you were actually attracted to guys?

1 Upvotes

I am trying to understand my sexuality and I'm a bit confused. In real life, I don't really feel attracted to anyone, including guys or girls. But I do find sexual pictures of guys arousing, which makes me wonder whether I'm actually attracted to men or whether it's just something I enjoy sexually.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you figure out the difference between being sexually aroused by something and actually being attracted to someone?

I'm not really looking for a label right now, just trying to understand what I'm feeling.

(F 24) help please

Hi! Lately, I’ve been questioning my gender after having ignored the topic for many years. I don’t really know how to explain my gender or how to understand myself.

Like, I don’t feel like a she, him, or even they, but more like an IT; like a creature or a THING, but not in a non-binary way (that doesn’t feel right or like that’s what I am). It only happens sometimes, but it feels more ethereal or astral. Like, imagine Jesus Christ: my physical body is MY physical body, it’s the body of a “she,” but in reality I’m a creature and this is simply my physical form while I’m alive.

BUT I still feel connected to my gender assigned at birth (AFAB) in some way, even though I don’t entirely feel like a girl either. I use any pronouns, but I mostly use she/her pronouns. I don’t know if that’s because I’ve been used to them my whole life and it’s easier for me to react when people refer to me that way or what. I do feel a sense of connection and belonging to my femininity and to being a girl, but I don’t entirely feel like a girl either.

I’ve had questions about my gender in relation to my body since childhood, but I never really explored the subject much. Over the past year, it’s become something I can’t ignore anymore and I want to ask about a few things.

  • Is being demigirlflux a combination of demigirl and girlflux?
  • Can you be xenogender and demigirl, demigirlflux, or girlflux at the same time?
  • What other genders are there?
  • Are demigirl, demigirlflux, girlflux, and xenogender considered part of the trans or non binary umbrella?

I need help, please. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. I know nobody is forcing me to choose a label or call myself anything, but I feel like I need one… I want to know. I need to know so I can understand myself better.

[M 15] I really dont know who I am , am I who I think I am because I watched something I should not have?

1 Upvotes

Before reading this , here is something you should know about me -
Since childhood i was fat (i got pretty fat when i was like 8-9) and then covid hit and i got more unhealthy and fat . So growing up i was pretty insecure about myself like alot and didnt felt comfortable in my looks (i had insecurities like dih size cuz the boys joked around about it like dih sizes and all that and also my fat obviously)

When i was 12 i started watching pay gorn , now I have 2 points or question or whatever it is -
1. Did i started watching pay gorn because I liked how they portray stuff i was insecure about ?
2. Or did i started watching it because i was actually gay ?

Now since i started watching pay gorn pretty early as compared to my age i really think it messed up with my sexuality , now when i started watching pay gorn and jerkin off i really did not experienced my straightness or my straight side , now i dont know if i am gay or bi or straight , and fyi when i was 13 i made a out with my female bsf and situationship but i am not sure if that was platonic love or romantic love. I really need peoples thoughts and opinions here.
