I'm confused

    so i've been really confused about my gender identity recently and i'd really like to hear another person's input so i don't feel as alone. I am a biological female and a lesbian if that matters. Too start off, I feel comfortable in my body and would not like to change it. So I haven't really experienced any body dysphoria. The only thing i sometimes get a tad bit dysphoric about is my breast, which is already very small. Sometimes I mean I think it'd be nice to have a binder. But anyway, regarding gender expression and feelings, mine change frequently. Sometimes I'll want to be super girly, and I'll put on a dress, wear makeup, curl my long hair, and do other traditional "girly" things. I really enjoy feeling girly sometimes. But then there is also another side of me that is completely different. Other times I'll want to cut my hair short and put on a dapper suit and tie. I'll feel handsome and manly and I'll really like it. And then there are times when I feel like I'm somewhere in between these two poles. And I know this sounds like I'm only dealing with gender expression here, but it's more about how I feel when I do these things. My guess is that I'm gender fluid, but I honestly have no idea since I'm so new to all of this. And I also wonder if someone is truly gender fluid even when they are comfortable with their body. Thank you for any help in advance :slight_smile:
