Okay, I’m ready, the time has come!
Yesterday I sent a “coming out” email to most of my close friends, sharing how I realize that, although my “biological sex” is female, my gender identity is non-binary, it’s part female/part male, and I would now define my gender as “androgynous/gender-fluid”.
So I let them all know that I have finally decided to adopt the pronouns “they/them/their” for me.
It felt a little scary but also (and mainly) liberating and empowering. It gave me a sense of “coming into myself” more wholly, a deep sense of contentment. And for the moment, I have received very supportive, accepting, loving, encouraging, warm replies, which gives me an even deeper sense of contentment and joy: I can be myself fully and openly, and still be accepted and loved as I am — WOW!
