I don't really know of any specific places to point you toward, but I know there are other genderqueer people who frequent F!S, so maybe they can point you in the right direction of some online spaces where you might feel more comfortable talking about it? I think you might find that there are a lot of people online (and especially in a lot of LJ fandom-centric communities) are pretty open minded and supportive, too, although I don't blame you for being nervous about talking about it. I hope you find people that you feel you can talk to about it, anon!

Not sure if srs or not, user pic plus friendly comment is confusing

Check out my profile, it's my only userpic.

I *am* serious about this.

For me, a difficult thing about IDing as genderqueer is that it's such a broad label that even among other genderqueer people, sometimes it can be hard to relate or fit in. For example, the first time I met another genderqueer person IRL, it was a very cool and validating experience (I'm not the only one! If they can use non-binary pronouns, so can I!). But I also realized after a while that we were pretty different in terms of our preferred gender presentation and maybe our identities.

But coming across more genderqueer people, either online or IRL, you'll probably also see similarities, which can be a great feeling.

Telling people IRL can be a very hard thing. It can be harder if you don't feel that confident. There's no shame in not telling others if you don't feel comfortable or safe.

I was fortunate enough recently to have a therapist who was pretty knowledgeable about gender identity issues and was familiar with genderqueer identities. But it can be challenging to find good therapists.

In my experience, the internet and fandom can be a good place to start being more open and out of the closet. The [livejournal.com profile] genderqueer is a good place to look, too. And if you ever want to message me or something, feel free. :)

Ditto, verbatim. :)
