Semi-casual LGBTQ+ Long-term Conversation

Hello! I'm a 29yr old nonbinary person (they/them) looking for a person to converse with long-term. I don't know if you'd be a good fit for my situation or not, so I'll give you a brief overview of what I'm going through and looking to talk about and then you can decide if you're a good fit. smile.png

I recently decided that the term that best fits my gender identity is "nonbinary" (and when I say recently, I mean last Tuesday). So far, embracing that term has been rather positive for me. I'm kind of in the process of figuring out what changes can/should be made in my life to fit this new chapter - while I'm generally content with where I am, I feel like a few changes should be made in order to "shed my old skin". I've only told a few people about my being nonbinary and plan to keep it that way for awhile (possibly always). I'm looking to have a conversation with someone who has had a similar experience (doesn't necessarily have to be nonbinary - but someone who slowly integrated new aspects of themselves into their presentation/lifestyle [even if only in private settings]) and would be willing to talk about the process they went through in relation to where I'm at and my questions about it.

I'm also married with young kids. My wife has been incredibly supportive, but I do feel like I will be quite likely to have questions/thoughts concerning balancing my new identity with that life. Again, you don't have to have an experience just like mine to be a good fit, but you should be comfortable addressing these topics. :)

I don't feel like I'm in a desperate place by any means, so don't feel bad if you think you wouldn't be a good fit for the conversation. Send me a message or reply to this thread if you're interested in chatting!
