Okay, hey, my name is Sonora. Or Snow. (Everyone calls me snow) I am bisexual and I identify as trans bigender. Transgender bigender is similar to being gender fluid but only two of any of the genders on the spectrum. Mine two happen to be male and female. So I started questioning my sexuality around the summer after 5th grade. And I'm very open about it to everyone at school but no one in my family really knows, mainly because they most likely wouldn't accept me I and don't feel like going through the hassle. My mom does know though, she actually found out because she read my Instagram dms with one of my friends. I know, lame right? But that's not really what I want to talk about. Figuring out and coming to terms with the fact that I am trans was really hard for me. You see, I was born female, and I fit into the stereotype of a typical female. So I really didn't have a reason to question my gender until puberty came around. When I started to be sexually attracted to certain types of people. When I started to question myself (no too long ago actually) I tried to go to someone who I knew who might be able to help. (She was from wattpad actually) I told her was my problem was, she basically told me this, "Sonora you're NOT trans, you're dumb for thinking like that. You just want to be different because different is 'trendy' if you were trans you would have known since you were young." I'm being honest here, that really messed with me. A lot. For a good month the after that I was mopey and depressed because I thought that I was dumb and a messed up. I thought that I was never gonna figure out what was "wrong" with me. And I didn't want to tell anyone because I thought they might judge me or tell me I'm even more messed up than I think I am.Luckily though while I was doing tons and tons of research I found this what I am is okay. What I feel is normal and others feel the exact same way. That's how I adopted the term "bigender".I've surrounded myself with people that support me and who care. Moral of the story, don't let anyone, and I mean ANYONE decide what you can and can't be based on their own opinions. You be you ❤️
