Gender Non Conforming?

Hi thanks for your post. Sounds like you are on a 'journey' of discovery which is healthy to do. Sometimes attending social support groups can help understand other viewpoints and validate experiences. >> www.lgbthero.org.uk/trans-hangouts OR www.lgbthero.org.uk/lgbtq-hangouts

Gender non-conforming is a broad term referring to people who do not behave in a way that conforms to the traditional expectations of their gender, or whose gender expression does not fit neatly into a category. I feel it is also liberating when there are no set rules around how you express or experience your gender.

Gender identity is the term used to describe how a person feels internally about their own gender and is a spectrum. For example, a person’s gender identity might mean they identify as a man, a woman, nonbinary, or something completely different. Gender identity is distinct from gender expression, which is how someone presents their gender externally, through things like clothes, appearance and behaviour.

Many LGBT people are brought up to believe that the only two things that anyone can be are a man or a woman, male or female, but the reality for a huge amount of LGBTQ+ people is much less clear-cut than that.
