"And I'm happier with myself and more comfortable in my own skin as I accept my sexuality and my identity more openly. I'm coming to understand that that confused child I locked away all those years ago is emerging into my personality and my identity is changing. I like myself and I'm more confident with my feminine traits and my queer attractions than I ever had while repressing them." I sure understand that, and also had similar experiences growing up, about fifteen years earlier. " I'm trying to discover what all this means for me. Discovering (recovering) this part of myself feels nonbinary, maybe trans, but I think that is the incomplete understanding the language I need to express myself." I truly understand that, too. I never felt nonbinary, but as much as I hoped I wasn't trans, with a ton of research, study, and therapy I determined that I am. Dara Hoffman-Fox, who's a licensed gender therapist in Colorado has many excellent vids on YouTube. They (Dara's nonbinary) also wrote a book that was a tremendous help to me: "You and Your Gender Identity, A Guide to Discovery." There, you can learn a lot about so much, including nonbinary, transgender, and others. Perhaps more importantly, Dara has many insightful questions for you to consider, and keep track of in a separate journal. These questions kind of lead you through your life, dreams, and many other things, to help you make your own determination. I think it's so valuable to have written all this down instead of trying to sort it out in our heads. Dara also has an excellent website where you may find other helpful info. Best wishes! Emma
