For a long time I have listed myself as and considered myself to be at most possibly genderfluid, but I had a meeting with a trans person last night who had very similar experiences to me. It made me feel very validated about wanting to be and feeling female. So screw it I say, I am just going to list myself as Female (trans) on here
First off, congrats. Sounds like you have a supportive community around you. I want to ask you: do you have any masculine days anymore? Like, do you present fully as a male anymore or have days where you don't wear makeup? (Please understand I'm quite new to this and a bit shy).
I think I do, but that is more because I am not at a point where I am ready to present as female. Also I still find it an effort to present as female. I think it is a bit of a mental block to get past.
Thanks, Miss Melody. I can relate. Today I probably presented as I gay man (lol) but still felt pretty cute. I just had this realization today that I don't mind shaving my legs and arms (I've always sheaved my armpits) but to do all the big make up and stubble-worry (I'm not that hairy) - I don't know if that aversion and the fact I don't exclusively dress in girls' clothes make me definitely not a candidate for transition or just gender fluid. Then again, I feel more comfy in girls' clothes.... I guess the journey's just starting. By the way, I think anyone's answer about candidacy would vary depending on their age. At 18 you can have an easier time being your preferred gender than at 28 or 38.
