Is it normal to always change your mind about your gender/sexuality?

I'm always changing my mind about who I think I am, not because I choose to, but one day I'll feel like I'm an asexual and cisgendered, but then the next I could get really depressed that I wasn't born as the opposite gender, and I'll feel like I'm actually gay. I'm really confused and I don't want to be for the rest of my life, I want to find out who I am before it's too late.

Is It Normal?

  • The problem seems to be that you are trying to classify yourself. Who says you have to be one way or the other? Relax. If you wake up tomorrow and are attracted to girls go with it. Next day you like boys explore that too. Life is not just black and white. There is an entire rainbow in between.

  • I don't think it's *normal* for people to be so confused like this, but I hope you find something that is normal for you.

  • You're young and confused. Try not to stress over it. Just enjoy whatever sexuality you decide and whatever gender you are NOW. Don't worry about what ifs.

  • if you keep changing your mind then sex reassignment isn't for you

  • Until you can figure out your gender identity, I highly recommend against making any drastic changes, some of which are permanent.

  • Hiya,

    My experience of life is quite limited in some ways anyway. I can listen to the loudest music ever, that'll take your ears off, then the next day I’ll have the quietest music ever that'll have you crying.

    I went through a phase of wearing stereotypically “male” stuff – shaved head, band t-shirts, etc. None of it really suited me & I looked completely daft – luckily band shirts don't last long so I just didn't buy any more. I take much more care with my appearance now.

    I spent so much time worrying about whether it was normal to feel like this or do this or listen to this I made things even worse for myself! If there's *any* doubt at all whether something (something you can choose not to do/change) is right for you, it isn't.

  • If your young I would say its normal.I was really confused with my sexuality in my early teens I probably still am. Just try to relax you will figured it out eventually. You could try counselloing or a support if you feel like you need to talk to someone :)

  • okay..

    you cant really say whats normal whats normal and whats not. i find your issue quite interesting and i dont know if you find it bad to be so confused what gender or sexuality you are.

    Just live with who you are. you are a wonderful person and it would just ruin your personality if you had a different gender. you would also have a different attitude to your parents, you would have different friends etc...
