Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
My name is Sarah, I'm biologically female, and I'm 17.
I suffer from agoraphobia, anxiety, and some other fun disorders. Most of my life I've spent isolated, so I never felt it necessary to truly question my gender identity, or that I even could. I've decided this summer there are many things I want to do with myself, and my life, and I find the more I go out and do things, these issues with myself that I've never really confronted keep coming up.
I remember when I was a child I used to always pretend to be male, and that was fine with my parents, as long as it wasn't outside the house. I'm starting to really evaluate these things, their roots, and how they affect me.
So, I'm just at the beggining of trying to understand myself, and what my gender identity means to me. I hope to learn a lot and grow with this forum.
Thanks!

Well we all start somewhere, and I think tzone is an excellent place to read, ask questions and discuss issues of gender identity. I really hope you can find out more about yourself and your gender identity in your voyage of self discovery, and I hope we can help here on tzone.

Feel free to start a blog in the My Story and Daily Blogs section. Many of our members find keeping a blog a good way to share ideas and friendly advice.
