It doesn't just have to be "oh I'm a man/woman/enby." What qualities do you have or want to obtain as your gender? How do you express yourself? What does your gender feel like?

That is a good distinction. Man-ness I suppose is more accurate in my case.

I think I would consider myself a bit more of a femme leaning enby currently, but would like to experience HRT and think more on it in the future.

I'm planning on it. Remind me in three weeks and I'll tell you how it's going.

Oh I definitely plan to as well, life circumstances are just highly incentivizing waiting until at least October.
