Hey so I am a female at birth and 19 years of age. When I was 14 I came out as a lesbian but haven't really looked into the idea of gender. Recently I have become very.. uncomfortable? With the idea I am a female. Like, I've always known I have been a more masculine type of woman, with how I dress and how I act but recently I've felt a shift, like I don't know whether or not I feel I am a woman, but I know I'm not a man, so I'm kind of stuck in between? I just really would like some clarity perhaps? So I can stop feeling so anxious and uncomfortable all the time.

Also, I am kind of scared to think of the possibility that I don't feel as if I'm a woman, as my parents are very traditional and I don't think they'd accept me.
