I’ve been admittedly struggling with my identity as a whole, especially as I approach my 1 year mark on Estrogen. So far it’s the right call for me, but I’ve discovered that I’m becoming more comfortable with my masculine traits and even find myself binding my breasts that I’ve waited so many years to have, while the next day I’ll do the complete opposite and present femininely.
I feel like I have no consistent sense of self and often have a hard time even knowing what’s going on in my head haha
Constantly trying to figure out if I’m a boy, girl, both, or neither, because I admittedly struggle with my body in various fronts. One day I’m too feminine, the next I look too much like a man, or I’m not androgynous enough.
Frankly, it’s exhausting. I used to think I was just a woman but it doesn’t seem to fit as I continue hrt.
It feels odd to express all of this but, I’ve not really talked to many trans people as I’m chronically shy. Is there anyone who can relate to what I’m going through?
It appears as if your base assumption is that by being trans one has to reject any binary choice or box/label(a case being transwomen and transmen for example), at least from my perspective and knowledge, by accepting we’re trans we’ve already done that – by accepting we’re trans we have rejected the “biological” binary put upon us from birth. 1/?
So then we go to the next step, where in the trans spectrum do you fit? This is where you start discovering whether your nonbinary, a transwoman, or transman, etc… basically another set of labels or boxes at least socially.
