Hey. I'd like to hear your thoughts on subject I'm sure many of us are intimately familiar with... Obsessing about one's identity and expression. Obsessing about gender overall. I have done my fair share of this. Since childhood really. I've pondered about things that felt weird, uncomfortable and so on. About labels too. Now I find myself looking at the mirror a lot. Wondering if I put my hair like this, will it make people to see me like that. Etc. Not so much negative emotions, but I feel like I'm overly interested in these subjects. I think I just really wish people would see me the way I identify, not label me maIe or female.
I feel like gender was something that always lingered in the back of my mind growing up. But my identity, I probably obsessed over that and what it meant to be trans for almost a year. Still do, but trying to catch myself so gender isn't a 24/7 thing for me.
