How are you even meant to know if you're trans? Anonymous 03/27/26(Fri)13:28:13 No.43071883 Archived

Like, yeah, I experience dysphoria in relation to my body but idk. I don't really feel much dysphoria towards like social stuff ig. Like I've never been mr. manly but I'm not feminine like at all. I've wished I was a woman for a long time, but what does "being a woman" even mean? Like yeah I've had those thoughts consistently since I was around 11 or 12 but also I've also been a borderline shut-in since around that time who barely interacts with anybody at all so what do I even know about being a woman that'd make me want to be one? Like yeah I like being referred to by a woman's and with she/her pronouns but I really don't mind my birth name or he/him pronouns. I could honestly go by that for the rest of my life. Also I actively loathe referring to myself as woman if that makes sense. Being referred to as a woman = good referring to myself as a woman = weird and bad. I can also interact with men more-or-less without issue and I'm just not feminine enough to be an actual woman. I've thought that maybe I'm just a cis guy who wants to go on HRT or some form of non-binary but none of those feel like they describe how I feel so I'm just kind of left constantly wondering what I am.

Omg, it's you again "My-", right?
Go on a walk and clear your head a bit. Think about more gender agnostic things you want to do in order to keep yourself busy

If you want the body of a woman, just take estrogen and sort the social stuff later. You'll be happier with your body in the meantime.
T. ranner still sorting out the social stuff.

Sorry, but who?
>>43072050
That's probably what I'm going to do but I guess I feel like I need to fully know if I'm actually trans or not.

I know, but the thought of being a cis guy on hrt is really unappealing to me.

Better to not claim the title and all the weight it comes with it
