I avoided thinking about the likelihood of me being trans, mainly because I didn't want to deal with it. I didn't want to deal with it because coming out as bi (only partially out) made me very anxious. But I think I wanna talk about it now.
I'm probably genderfluid or androgynous or bigender or something along those lines. But honestly, since coming out as bi was hugely stressful for me and made me feel profusely judged, this seems like it's gonna be the same thing. I do realize I don't HAVE to come out, but it still makes me feel very weird, mainly due to the fact that I'll have it bottled up for a billion years. I changed my VT gender a couple times but always changed it back because I didnt wanna deal with it.
Blegghhhh idk.

I kinda understand how you feel. I've struggled with my sexuality a lot since I was little, and, in many ways, I kind of also just avoided it because I just didn't want to deal with it. I think it started when I began puberty (like when I was 11-ish). There were times I thought I was gay, then I thought I was straight, then gay again, then straight. I remember like by high school (maybe 14-ish) I decided that I was bi, but even then I didn't want to make it official because I wasn't sure. But then I started to think that maybe it was just all the hormones and I really am straight. Finally, I just decided to avoid the whole sexuality conflict and just let it be whatever.
Of course, that didn't quite work out and I often just came to the conclusion that I was bi; I still wasn't sure, and I still did not want to officially come out. I thought about just changing my facebook bio to say that I am bi and just let people find it, but then I just decided to avoid coming out entirely and just consider myself bisexual.
There's only 2 people that know that I consider myself bisexual and, of course, here and online I say that I am bi, so yeah, that's how I've dealt with it.
I think you should just wait until you feel ready and confident about yourself before you make anything official. Remember that you don't have to come to a conclusion all in one day. I am 18 now and I've been having a similar conflict since I was like 11, so it can take months and years, but the thing is that you have to ultimately accept yourself.

This is the best advice someone who has been there can give. Take your time and dont rush into anything, but start with yourself before anyone else.

I can't say I have been where you are. All I know is you do not have to rush this. take your time to think, as much time as you need. and when you are ready, take as much time as you want/need to come out
