@brushy@snouts.online I've been feeling like HRT might be a good idea for me, but I've felt alienated from the whole Trans Thing for years because I felt like it had to come with all the Other stuff.

And even the personality system in my head who Identifies as a Woman isn't interested in the mainstream american idea of what a Woman is, or as Passing as that.

And yet when flipped around, Tohri doesn't identify as a Man by those standards either, and is tired of trying to pass as one. It's exhausting.

So I didn't want to just trade one form of social expectation for another, and I didn't want to have to Lie to a therapist just to get a medication I want to try. At the same time, most of my friends are transfeminine and expressing Joy at the changes in their lives.

It's been great having nonbinary people to talk to here on mastodon, though. I'm still not sure if I want to go that direction, but it's nice feeling that I could, and still have a presentation and identity I Like.

I just don't want to make a big Fuss, change my name and pronouns, and get angry at people for not respecting them.
