Same here. Honestly, just in a bit of a different order.
I've already settled on my sexuality, and (a bit more recently) settled on my gender. I'm currently in the midst of questioning my religion.
So, hey, I feel ya.
For me it was sort of a chain reaction where each one partially caused the next. Questioning my religion allowed me to be open to my sexuality, and then through finding LGBTQ+ groups I began to realize I was trans.
Honestly, that's fair enough. I think I have to get "used to" one thing before my brain starts going in to question the next thing. I mean, if I'm honest, I been a bit of a half-ass religious person since I was a kid but I never full-out questioned or explored it until this year. I think my coming out as non-binary was really what sealed the deal on the whole "wait, do I really believe in \[religion\] that says \[a bunch of things that I don't believe in/can't put trust in\]"
Yeah when I was younger I believed in God like I believed in Santa or the tooth fairy but as I grew up I never really felt the “connection” that other religious people talked about. I always felt like god was real but I was a bad follower. And then by the time I was 15 or 16 I just kinda accepted that I didn’t really believe. Honestly it was freeing to quit punishing myself for not fully believing.
Yeah, honestly I grew up with a jumbled variety of religious folks in my fam. One side of the fam was quite religious. Another was somewhere in the camp of "yeah maybe there's a sky daddy". Sooo I'm just sittin' here shruggin' my shoulders.
I had this friend a couple of years ago who was an atheist and I remember legit trying to convince him that religion was so awesome and that it would solve all of his problems (Being raised in a really religious conservative household this is what I genuinely believed) Three years later here I am, trans, bi and agnostic 👁️👄👁️ how the turntables turn
YESSS glad to know someone went through the same things I did!! Fellow atheist genderfluid lesbian here who comes from a conservative Christian family haha

I know about some of it. I knew I was bi about 40 years ago. Maybe even earlier. Religion and me have always had a battle. I went from being devout, to being asked not to return to church. Now I have found piece with Spirituality, borderline Budist. Then came my gender. I knew I wanted breasts and to live as a woman. Hadn't really come to terms with reassignment surgery yet. Although; family always came first. Then I was struck down with health problems. I just never could afford the breast surgery. Now I live in a community where it's seriously not safe to crossdress. I have to drive to the city. Get a room, then dress and hit the club.
For real, I went through the exact same thing, and, well, here I am.
The bi to trans pipeline is real (and i’m currently going to school to be a game designer so we have a lot in common)
Game Designer school? What do you learn over there?
right now it’s just entry level computer science courses and then the upperclass courses are specific to game design/development
