Hello! I just wanted to ask for help regarding my identity. As the title states, I’m confused. Biologically born a male but I’m gay but recently I grew out my hair and started crossdressing and started to be perceived as a transgender when I really haven’t labelled myself and I tried lots of times to correct people with that but I grew tired so di ko nalang pinansin and eventually I got conflicted if I really am transgender. Though given that I look both fem and masc and I discussed this with my mom because one time tinanong niya bakit halos ang daming tawag sa akin “ma’am” in public but really all I did was grew out my hair.

One of the main problems I have is with dating. Di ko alam how to present myself to guys kasi yeah napapangunahan ng kaba and assuming na I won’t find guys who like my kind of style I do use my fem looking photos in dating apps but often get disappointed pag nalaman na I’m not a real woman so ending parang nagiging catfish ang dating.

I really want to seek advice from fellow LGBTQ friends about this dilemma that I’m having and hoping to get clarity on it. Thank you so much.
