The gender I want to be is “Majestic Unicorn of unclear gender/sex, but decidedly statuesque in bearing”

You can see how it would be difficult for me to transition in any meaningful way

    This feels like a lovecraftian story. You gained forbidden knowledge but lost your humanity in exchange.

    They say you should listen to my inner child, and when I was a very young child I wanted to be a caterpillar. So far I’m accomplishing this by doing fuck all but eat and sleep.
    Maybe I’m less like Franz Kafka than I thought, however I believe I should give it a little more time (just in case metamorphosis is around the corner).

    I’ve wondered this as a ciswoman who is hetero and far as I’m aware, neuro typical.

    Growing up I had all kinds of identity questions and it’s taken me a long time to both understand who I am and what I want for myself; to make peace with a few things about my personality etc.

    I wonder if the struggles of trans/queer/ND people to find their identity delay those additional questions? Or are they layered on top as well?

    No real point, just a musing I’ve had. Being a human is hard even when you’re already ticking boxes that society says you should.

      I think it can flip it on its head, give you a different perspective and maybe sometimes give you even more solid answers.

      I know who I am mostly, have kind of come to terms with everything that isn’t leftovers from the trauma of my life, but I still don’t feel like what I want to be gender wise, my body just doesn’t want that for me.
