Gender isn’t something I have to “find.”
Someone wrote…
I’ve finally realized that my gender isn’t something I have to “find” inside myself. If I’m capable of thinking of myself as genderqueer, that’s probably proof enough that I am.
What’s your experience?

I hit that point a few months ago, and it’s been so incredibly liberating! Congrats!

Maybe that’s the approach I need to take when considering transness. If I think I could be, maybe that’s all the proof I need.

This is the approach I’ve been taking thus far to both my genderqueerness and my transness. So far so good. I guess I just hit the point where I had the “well the only way to know for sure is to try it out” moment and its been incredibly eye opening for me so far.

Thanks for the reply, J.D. If you don’t mind my asking, what did “trying it out” mean for you?

Yeah, I find that that’s usually the best kind of proof. For while the masculine spectrum is lost on me, I can see myself equally happy as a girl or a feminine boy who LOOKS feminine. That’s good enough for me. I know the direction I want to start going physically. I can stop when I feel it’s right.
