Not really tbh I mean sure like ideally be cute woman or whatever, minus the period stuff I acknowledge that’s gotta suck but like I don’t feel uncomfortable in my current body.

I suppose I mean “publicly trans and acknowledged by others” no shit, I don’t want the hate trans people get 24/7

For a while I was plagued by thoughts of “am I trans” because I felt a sort of desire to be more feminine. But I realized that for me that was just because I perceived feminine as equating to cute, and therefore that was desirable. But after I got in a relationship where someone valued me for who I am, I realized that I can be “cute” and desirable and still be a guy.

But also for a lot of my trans friends, they started out with “damn I want to be a woman” and then they proceeded to transition and like it. A good metric is that if you are having a lot of thoughts of wanting to be a woman, you are probably trans.

Yeah, I mean I dress up as a woman like a lot and I think I look cute! but most of that is just cosplay (not something I wear all the time)

Recreationally dressing up as a woman is pretty trans coded lol. Guys can do of course but combined with an actual desire to be trans, that’s pretty trans

Well that’s totally valid if all ya wanna do is dress up and look cute! You can even do it every day and still be a guy. But something you should think about is how you would feel if you were viewed as a woman, rather than just a dude dressing feminine. How would you feel if you were called a girl or given she/her pronouns?

I like it, but it feels disingenuous So that’s that ig. I mean it’s one thing if you’re getting kinda playfully called that but it feels disingenuous if like random strangers online calling me that idk. Do you know my feeling?

I feel like the disingenuous feeling doesn’t necessarily exclude you being trans. It doesn’t sound dissimilar from how friends of mine have felt early in their transition before they really *feel* like they pass as a woman. Could be worth having a close friend gender you feminine for a bit and see how it feels.
