Gender??

Hello, I'm Lance/Tikki and I'm seriously questioning my gender. I don't want to be female nor male, I don't want breast but I don't want a penis. I feel stuck because I don't know what to do, I feel like I'll be told I'm faking the way I feel because I don't want a penis and I won't be taken seriously. I don't want to be female or male and I don't know what to do.

Hi Lance/Tikki (which do you prefer to be called?)

It's really tough feeling out of step isn't it? You're right, it can be difficult for some people to understand what it's like to not feel that 'male' or 'female' are right labels for you, but there are people who do understand and support is out there. It might be good to start with a service like Qlife, they're a queer counselling service and should be able to put you in touch with face to face support services close to where you are, and they will take your thoughts and feelings seriously.

Hopefully you also might feel comfortable talking through things here. How long have you been questioning your gender? Come back when you're ready and tell us a bit more about how life has been going.
