Writing notes to work through gender crap. (Showing to Rook for help maybe.)
Maevaris pretty. Tarquin tough. Both trans!
(Both open about being trans and said I could share stuff if it helped me on "my journey.")
( I did not ask for "a journey.")
Trans means was other gender. Then changed?
—Wait. No. Was always new thing. Just now acknowledged.
—Not changing. Affirming.
Trans woman IS woman.
Not feeling right in body is dysphoria—WHOLE BIG THING.
—Could feel like want to be guy instead of girl. (no)
—Could feel like not connected to body. (not everyone does this?)
—Could feel uncomfortable with girls who act more feminine.
—No. I like girls. Girls smell good.
—But like hanging out with Lords more than girls.
—Ashamed of not doing what your gender "should do." (UGH)
—Getting euphoria is feeling right.
Non-binary means not man or woman. Can feel like either?
—Can look like guy/girl/neither.
—Some use she/he. Some swap. Some use they. But still single with name?
—"Flynn IS non-binary. They ARE coming this way."
—Confusing but sure.
Also gender-fluid.
—Feel different on different days.
—Can switch pronouns.
—Don't think that's me.
Agender/bigender/demigender/others
—Lot of different ones.
—Not me but okay.
Never too late. Valid even if no words when younger blah blah blah.
—Maevaris saw notes and is mad
—"Write this down, exactly. You're valid. People will say you're not enough this, or too much that. Do not let it diminish you. No two journeys are alike. That's wonderful. Embrace it. Did you... did you get all that?"
—Okay fine.
