Finally exploring after keeping it repressed for years(20, AMAB)—Hi everyone!

[u/Quiet_Forest_Steps]

Hello everyone, I´m Ellie or Lacey (feel free to use whichever one you prefer, as I'm testing them both out!).

I'm currently questioning my gender identity. I'm trying to finally express and understand a side of myself that I’ve kept repressed for several years at this point, and I'm looking for a safe space to do that.

I might mostly read and listen at first, but I'm really glad to have found this group. If anyone else started their journey after keeping things repressed for a long time, I'd love to hear how you navigated these early stages. Also what advice or recommendations would you have for me to help navigate through my journey?
