how do i understand if im a man or not;
its gonna be so ironic w my username buttttt ive been feeling rather unwell while thinking abt this topic;;;;; i’ve been out as an enby lesbian for 2 years now but nowadays i hate my blatantly feminine body and funny enough i feel gender dysphoria whenever i speak w my male friends it seems obvious that i wanna be a man but some days i like my feminine body and i keep wondering if im feeling like this just because men have more freedom (esp in my age range) when it comes to daily life, making friends etc. i feel so jelaous :( i wanna be able to connect w people more freely i wanna do whatever i want more confidently without giving a reason ;(((((( i dont know if this is the right place but i couldnt rlly find anything that i can sympathize with and i dont have any trans male friend either
Have you considered that you might be genderfluid? It doesn't have to be binary or static, after all.

Do you feel like u hate ur body as a result of internalized misogyny? And if not, maybe ur gender fluid or an occasionally fem presenting trans man.
I’m not trans anymore but I used to identify with gender fluid growing up, nowadays I don’t necessarily feel like any gender. But I don’t reject being viewed as a woman anymore, bc for me it was ...... 1 reply
Wait I feel you i have this same problem haha (but im a cis girl— er well maybe hahaha) It's so hard to figure out what I even want to do because some days its strong others its not. One thing I found is that it kind of lines up with where I am in the mentrual cycle, so maybe you can see if that happens to you for dysphoria fluctuating (idkk) i g...... 1 reply
