Current Events > How do you know your trans?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I sometimes wish I was a woman but I am not sure if I am trans

---

Generally, cis people don't spend much, if any time, wishing they were the opposite gender. I mean, I guess I wouldn't know though.
There's a reddit for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/egg_irl/
It will help you, ally.

But seriously, if you genuinely feel that way, feel it out. Experiment. Research what trans people have to say about their own experiences in finding themselves. Buy a skirt and make it go spinny. I can share my own experience, if you like.

From what I understand, if you have to ask you already are. Or you're at least "enby" :v

Honestly read this as "how well do you know your trans"?

I mean how much of this depends on being okay with not passing?

Most of my trans friends I know through Internet message boards and messenger services.

I mean not necessarily, I am 100% cis, but I still wondered what it felt like to be a women, but it's more of a "if I could alter between two bodies at any times I would try it by curiosity"

Do you do any gender fuckery stuff like makeup or clothing that may not culturally be in alignment with your current gender?

Not really, I tried once and it fell more like a disguise than "this is me"

I am gay and I don't, I really don't enjoy the feel. It feels off.

I don't know how to differentiate between me being a crossdresser or on the trans/non-binary radar.

I'm not saying they are the same. I'm saying I don't know who I am.

I always thought crossdresser meant a cis person who dresses in women's clothing for a sexual thrill. Like as a kink. Not because they identify in a certain way. Has it changed meaning?

You ask Jeeves.

To be fair, we have been conditioned that women and men should dress a certain way. It could just be you like clothes who are typically made for women, but you are still a man, it could also mean you are trans. You do you.

If you have to ask, it would imply you're not.

As another cis male, I've also always wondered what it would be like to be a woman. I grew my hair out super long at one point in my life and was mistaken for a woman several times, which I always found kinda cool though I acted disgusted/annoyed for appearances. I don't think there's anything weird or sexual about it, it's just a curiosity and empathy thing. Why not wonder about what life is like for people who are different than you?

Theres also plenty of gender nonconforming, nonbinary, or even transitioning people in what would be seen as gay relationships from an outside observer.

Ive considered the possibility, but I think I was just more into the idea that I could look beautiful in any configuration I find myself in

and I kind of settled on just that, Im not opposed to wearing a wig for a play and donning the role of someone who is supposed to be the opposite of whatever I am - Id own that
