Title: Just something I need to know...
Post by: Dargoon on August 12, 2014, 06:46:51 PM
It took me some time to understand my feelings towards my gender identity and well... I am pretty sure that I'm cis or almost. There's just one thing that I need to know...
I became aware about the non-binary identities for quite some time and I've been wondering if I am one of them or just another cis person that happens to not conform to the gender roles. I know very well that I am the only person that can tell what my gender identity is, but I still need enough information to do it, right?

Okay, so I am female bodied and I don't mind my body. I don't feel the need to change my body, at least not gender related, but... I'm not sure how to explain that... Well... It's something I feel everytime I see my body in the mirror without my clothes or while I'm dresses in less feminine/more masculine clothes than women usually wear. I feel as if I were... I dunno... Neutral? It makes me wonder if it means that I am gender neutral or if it's just part of my gender expression. Is this feeling like a female? Am I confusing being feminine with being female?

Your body and your gender expression are different. I used to express my femininity openly as a man until I realized I was transgender. I was okay with my body before as well, but everything became confusing after. I was confusing sex with gender. I am female but I am also feminine and I can be masculine. I see myself as gender nonconforming.

If your happy in your body then great! Express yourself in any way you feel comfortable.
