Today, society is much more accepting of diversity than it was throughout history, but we still have a way to go. It is important to fully accept every aspect of yourself, even if you are afraid that other people might not.
Even older people may feel confused about who they are after a lifetime of denying that part of themselves. Take your time exploring your identity, and just be you! Love Yourself for Who You Areįiguring out your identity can be difficult, especially for young people. Even if you aren’t ready to be out just yet, deep down you know that you are interested in different genders. Deep down, you know you aren’t straight or gay. The term “bi” or “pan” just feels right to you.
Some men and women also prefer to dress in an androgynous style if they aren’t comfortable in masculine or feminine clothing, but still identify as their biological sex. Some people may identify as “androgynous” or “non-binary” if they don’t feel like they are a male or a female. Androgyny refers to a combination of male and female characteristics.
