Sometimes I wish I were a woman so I could be gay. I am sure it is nothing
Somewhere in the distance, I think I heard an egg just crack
Wait, doesn’t everybody feel this way? No joke, is that an egg thing? Am I an egg?
It might not be a definitive point as in, “you feel X way therefore you are Y,” but it certainly can contribute to a greater point.
I myself am trans and was in my egg from a young age that finally broke when I turned 24. For years before then, I referred to myself as gender fluid while I tried to discover myself. My signs were that I wished I could be reborn as a woman (but didn’t think transitioning would satisfy that desire), feeling really uncomfortable any time people complimented my masculine features (wishing those things weren’t true), and adoring lesbian relationships to the point of wishing I could be in one.
I’m proud to say I’ve been transitioning for almost 3 years now, and my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend is coming up :3
P.S. if you would like to have someone to talk to about this and share experiences/thoughts outside of a public forum, feel free to send me a DM.
Oh. I’m honestly just very confused now.
I thought trans people always felt like the opposite gender, as in “I know I’m a girl, but I’m trapped in this body”
Whilst I feel like a male. I know I’m a dude. I wish I was a girl, I think I’d feel better and if I could press a button and be reborn one I’d press without a second thought… But I feel like a guy. That’s not an egg… Is that an egg?
At this point it’s not an egg, it’s full on fucking omelette
Oh, yeah, this comment right here is a pretty definitive tell. Of course I don’t wanna try to tell you what your gender is with more certainty than you or anything, but yeah, that’s an extremely egg thing to say. I’ve heard and seen some variation of it irl and online from no less than a fifty trans women early in the process of self-acceptance.
I strongly encourage you to look into it a bit deeper at the very least.
I am, or at least was, in a similar camp. I never felt dysphoric as a man, but I felt gender envy towards women. How beautiful, strong, and courageous they are. I thought I was satisfied being a man, but the more I tried on skirts in the privacy of my room at 3am during the pandemic or sloppily applied makeup because I just wanted to try it out, the more I realized I had stepped too far over the line and didn’t want to go back.
I thought I could inch forward, start HRT but still present masculine. Then I wore a dress to a new year’s party with a handful of friends, someone asked if I wanted to be called she/her which broke me. I stepped over the line too far and realized I was too happy to step back.
Not everyone has this experience, and I don’t regret my time spent as a man but do look back at old pictures and think, “There’s so much that person had yet to discover.”
PhilosophyTube on YT said something similar in her video about coming out. Referring to her transition more like a job that isn’t bad, provides a lot of comfort and security, but the more you work that job the more it takes a toll. I don’t think I entirely relate to her, but she offers a perspective that’s also different than “feeling born in the wrong body.”
Additionally, I started dating someone back in early college who called me out on being an egg like 7 years before I transitioned. We didn’t remain together for reasons I won’t get into, but I talked to them recently for the first time in a while and they gloated so hard about that callout.
i relate i relate but i’m having a gender crisis anyways so
all I’ll tell you is that it likely isnt nothing
I jest but I am actually pretty in touch with my gender or lack of gender or whatever. Gender is a strange concept to me. I don’t experience dysphoria by I do experience a desire to exist as feminine. The feeling comes and goes. I am comfortable as a man but like if my partner decided she was a lesbian I could transition and be comfortable as a woman. Does that make sense? I sort of want to experience both. Every once and a while I feel far more feminine than masculine and vice versa. Idk what this can be labelled as but I certainly know how I feel
Actually, there is a label for it: Genderfluid^^
And as usual, labels should not be used to define someone, it rather serves as a quick explanation
Alright so I’m agender and, for as long as I can remember, have never had any feeling that I could describe as masculine/feminine. Seeing as you’ve felt both, what do they feel like? Gender genuinely confuses me. I’ve read the books and done the thinking but I still can’t wrap my head around how one “feels” like a man/woman. Even enbies that experience gender as a secret third thing baffle me. I feel nothing gendered
For me it feels like a desire to be percieved as having traits traditionally associated with the male and female genders. It isn’t exactly that I feel like a man or feel like a woman its that I want to feel strong, daring, elegant, graceful, brave, beautiful, or charming and unfortunately some of these traits are commonly gendered. The way I want these traits expressed has gender to be clear. I want to be elegant in the way that women often are and physically strong as men often are but the intensity at which I desire these fluctuates. Nonbinary genders confuse me as well, idk what they mean by all that but I support them
Just chiming in with the others that you’re describing genderfluidity! It’s helpful information if you’re interested in doing anything with it, but just knowing doesn’t mean you have to take steps towards any sort of transition.
I began my transition under the genderfluid flag before realizing that I’m more genderflux (fluctuating intensity of gender, rather than fluctuating gender identity) between girl and “somewhere in the middle” - for me the question that helped me figure out what I wanted to actually do with that knowledge was “If someone just glanced at me for a second, what would I want them to assume I am?” And the answer is “girl” a lot of the time with “shrug” some of the time.
I thought I was “fine” being a guy but damn did I hate myself. Now I love me and find me worth caring about, thanks to estrogen and self-care lol.
Helps me a lot that my spouse is demi, and is my biggest supporter no matter how I present.
Sounds genderfluid to me dawg
Well if you feel fine, there is no real reason to put yourself in danger by transitioning and to disadvantage you like that. (Can also be a lot of suffering involved at the hands of others or just dysphoria if you are wrong)
As someone else already stated, being genderfuild is also a possibility, but you have to be really lucky to pull the presenting part of that off.
Like trying it out and HF!But I’d say if it doesn’t make you feel bad but not euphoric either you might just be GNC (gender non-conforming), which is valid as heck too!
Sounds pretty transfeminine to me.
