is there a difference between being trans and just wanting to be a different gender? like i dont fully understand how gender identity is different from gender presentation

gender identity can be changed on a whim and is purely mental. gender expression requires deliberate effort to change + medical transition usually if you care abt passing. for more information google "boymoder"

i understand what boymoding is. when you say “can be changed on a whim”, do you mean “you choose it” or “it’s a feeling you have”

different people will have different opinions, but gender is a social construct, and your identity is partially based on the way you wish to be perceived. different people will feel more strongly than others, about different aspects of gender, it isn’t really a question of trans vs cis as much as your personal idea of the absolute best way you could be viewed, and approaching that as best you can

“dang this thing would be nice about being a girl” doesn’t make you trans, it takes something closer to “I want to be viewed as a girl and treated as a girl and accepted as a girl”
