Recently come out as guy and struggling to understand it all as its new to me but think it came from a few years back when i saw a friend topless in the gym and he had a great physique and think since then it slowly started from there

@wellypen23 it's ok to struggle coming to terms with your identity. Navigating gender identity isn't easy, we grow up taking for granted that "sex = gender", and when we grow and find out how complex gender can be, it's never easy to process.
I'm not trans myself, but I do hope you find people with slap similar life experience that can help you navigate it. You can reach out for the trans community here, on other online platforms - Trevor Space is great for young queer people - or even better, in person! You can search for LGBT centers, circles or associations near you. They might help you feel less lost and isolated, you can build a community and learn from other people's experiences and tips.
It's ok to take your time as you come to terms with everything. No pressure, what truly matters is for you to feel more comfortable and familiar with your true self.

@Aayla sorry, I've just seen in the other post that you typed "gay" instead of "guy", I misread it as you coming out as transgender! My fault.
Still, it's a good idea to reach out to the queer community to start feeling more comfortable with who you are. Your orientation will eventually start feeling more familiar and easy to handle and understand.
