in my case it was because i kept looking up what hormones would do to me and feeling wistful, there's plenty of cis people who know a lot about trans issues
Hmmmm... Yeah I usually don't think I would be trans just because I don't feel like I have a strong desire to switch genders completely, and I don't think I have strong physical dysphoria. However, I also am (and I think always have been) uncomfortable with my "maleness" in a lot of ways, and a lot of things I'm reading here apply to me. Also kind of related I guess, yesterday I was talking in a discord chat about how in high school I'd sometimes paint my nails or wear this skirt I had, and I was thinking people probably have suspicions with me talking about that. Really I think maybe I'm a bit more non-binary than I feel like I'm allowed to be, but I'm also physically very "male" so I don't realistically know what I could possibly do with that information in the real world.
if you feel like you'd like to go by different pronouns or wear more fem clothes i know plenty of fairly masculine people who do that. obviously it depends on your circumstances, but you could definitely change up the pronouns you use online if you want to experiment with how that feels
Much thanks for the advice. I might try the pronouns thing at some point just to see how it feels. As far wearing more fem clothes, that would be difficult in real life at the moment, I think. I have been doing a little bit of that online in VRChat and will probably keep experimenting with that since it's cheaper and easier to do virtually.
