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
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.
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
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!
all I’ll tell you is that it likely isnt nothing

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
Sounds genderfluid to me dawg

Sounds pretty transfeminine to me.
