I know very fancy title for myself. As background info I am 23 genderqueer individual who prefers to present androgynous but it typically assumed female. I have known this a long time and have struggled with accepting myself. Recently I have acquired a new friend group of dominantly straight cis people and they all really respect my identity. The problem is I see how they live and I feel like I’m missing out, I can’t just approach other people in the fear of how they will react. Careers and relationships are so easy for them. And of course I fell for my one friend (24M) who is straight and I have known for years and who has always respected my gender. I am proud of who I am but it feels like because of who I am I lose out on so much. I have missed opportunities because of my presentation and I miss out on the same relationship experiences because ive found it so hard to find people who respect my identity AND are attracted to me. Does anyone have like success stories or similar experiences/fears??
