littleredrobinhood : It's exactly the same thing that kept me from starting my transition earlier,for years I was just convincing myself that I was a woman with body dysmorphic disorder and that my need for a male body was just a side-effect,that's only when I recovered from it that I realized the two weren't tied together. I also saw some guys on youtube who were confortable with doing traditionally feminine things like wearing makeup without identifying as women,helped lots.
Amathy : Thank you very much ! I'd say,it's hard enough to be trans so wearing whatever makes you happy is important.
We're going to face animosity anyways so might aswell give unaccepting people a "good" (in their eyes it seems to be) reason
I looked up gynephilia and it fits,now I'll have a word to define my sexuality when asked,haha.
adrian : I agree with your views on gender,I believe gender is a scale,100% male or 100% female might exist but not as often as one might think. There are cisgender guys who aren't male-presenting and noone is going to tell the difference between you and them at the end of the day,so I think someone can still go stealth even if not 100% male presenting. Facing the same issues as a cisguy who looks that way that is ! Like,most people who didn't know me pre-everything think I'm a gay guy because according to them you gotta be gay to look androgynous while being male (
) and that's the end of it. ( which I find ironically hilarious since I'm actually not,well maybe gay for cute guys with long hair and make-up but I disgress,haha)
Thank you Izzy for the links and for the wishes
