God if this happened 15 years ago I’d be super upset and defensive. I try to apply the Hexbear Code of Conduct in the real world, so I’m probably above average for cis men for being decent to trans people (but still there’s a lot of space to grow!). I’ve always failed miserably at being a normal cis guy, I’m shit at sports, I don’t do tough guy attitude well, and I’m pretty kind and emotional. I’ve also taken advantage of the recent explosion of gender fluidity recently to update my style a bit: there are more pinks and pastel colours in my wardrobe than their used to be.
I forgot to mention, my voice has a bit of a “gay twang”, as friends have told me. Thankfully it’s never bothered me, but I get asked if I’m gay a lot.
So maybe it’s partly my fault, but a couple of the younger trans people in my life are convinced that I’m a trans woman. I think it’s sweet, they’ve let me into their secret club. They often reassure me that I’m a woman if I want and that’s OK.
My only real fear is that I’ll waste their time or their good intentions. They seem really motivated to help me socially transition, but I can’t see going anywhere past a cis dude that sometimes wears cute shirts.
Not trying to be rude, but this is a pretty
post to me.
Like subconsciously bragging about “passing” or “male-failing” almost.
Or the last line where it feels less like an assertive denial of being trans and more something you don’t think is in the cards for you.
I’m not trying to convince you, but I figured I’d comment since you made the post.
Honestly it’s fine. I appreciate the advice. I just feel that I’m middle aged and have had a lot if time to think over if I feel like I’m a woman. I don’t feel especially drawn to being a woman, although being male is very ehh honestly.
Being the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ gender is a valid choice. You know who you are, and that’s cool. And if who you are changes, that’s cool. You are still you, and people who love you will support you.
A lot of people don’t know this but building a custom gender is real cheap and easy. I did it in my back yard with some old wooden pallets.
