Hi, everyone. I’m a 65+ woman whose family doesn’t know I’m non-binary. I have been living alone for the the first time in my life for only the past eight months, and boy is it lonely, especially when you’ve got a secret like that. I just want to connect with others like me and learn whatever I can. This is all new to me, as I‘ve always lived as cisgender. I’m an introvert who likes to draw, read and explore nature. I find the solitude to be freeing, I come and go as I please and never have to consider others wants and needs. While it is weird at times and I find myself wanting interactions at times, most of the time I'm glad I don't have the pull of others dictating what and where I am. I've had people around me for as long as I can remember, but this has been some adjusting to living on my own without others for the last five years. But now I wouldn't trade it but I am not opposed to having others around me either, its been a good time to get control over my thoughts of who I am and had been a great time of self discovery as well. Growing up I found myself at times for extended periods just 'hiding out', going off on a few days at a time out in the woods and grassland where I grew up, later taking a job that required a few days at a time of being self reliant and basically hidden away. I always wondered what it would be like to just live alone and not have anyone with me and the last five years I have done just that, I stay in contact with others over the internet, like on here, and keep track of some people but I find that just being alone is an experience in itself. Use the time to get in touch with yourself on levels that are hard to do with the constant pestering of others, think of it not as alone but more like being free.

Use the time to get in touch with yourself on levels that are hard to do with the constant pestering of others, think of it not as alone but more like being free. This is one place where you are never alone, this forum. We are very small, like its down to four regulars lately, and folk do check in after a while. We are a close group because we have been here a long time, three of us now for about nine years steadily, and we've been through a lot together, as well as keeping an eye on others here who might not share much but are just as much a part of us.
Its not so much about gender as it is about living, but knowing you can reach out and someone cares and also knows the fear of it all is nice and it can even save a life or two and it has over t Ahe years.
Gender is a weird thing, I went full transition and then backed off, deep inside I'm just me and I know I am different and sometimes it bothers me and others it doesn't, I move different and think different, just not of the stereotypical binary and not even of the stereotypical trans even though I have full hormonal change.
I reach out on here because I know others know what it feels like and now are close friends, one of my very closest is on this board, we've seen a ton together. Internet or not, we''ve talked on the phone many times, not so much lately as we meet up here every night, but we have never met in person, yet, we are as close as family, maybe more so.
You are very welcome here.
It's such a personal, subjective thing, gender. The best answer is just be. Just be, find the things you love to do, become your own best friend, find your core, your soul.
There's faith too, we are extremely diverse in that here, I find comfort in that.
I had a hard time with family too. In the end, unless they sleep with me, its none of their business. And for the wife that does, well, she is straight, so there are accomodations made because I love her and she never signed up for this.
Hugs from the old seventies generation child.
I transitioned at fifty five, I think, with a family. This place and the people here kept me from cracking up.

Hi! Iphis. I guess 'she' is ok. Everything is new here for me, not only the world of the online forums, but also the non-binary world. I'm 30 and I'm finding myself questioning my identity for awhile now. I've no idea of where I'm going and I have no idea if I am a non-binary or not. I hope to find some direction reading your experiences in this forum. Thanks for being here.

I'm 30 and I'm finding myself questioning my identity for awhile now. I've no idea of where I'm going and I have no idea if I am a non-binary or not. I hope to find some direction reading your experiences in this forum. Thanks for being here. Welcome to the forum! Everyone's experiences seem to vary. My own went from the HRT nonbinary trans experience to dialing it way back, I identify simply as nonbinary and mostly as an androgyne, though I don't go for labels as they always fall short and put folk into boxes. Finding the truth for yourself is the whole thing, as far as I am concerned. Spiritually, physically and mentally. Getting that right for me was the most important thing, and the journey still wound up changing in ways I never expected. Feel free to start threads and ask questions. There's few of us left here, but we've generally been around quite a while, and there's newbies hanging around too.
