How would you describe your gender? (self.trans)

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?

I think most people have some days where they'll feel more masculine than feminine or vice versa, trans or not. You'll just have to observe where it goes in the future. Alternatively, being sick can fuck with your hormones in your body and brain.

Hope you feel better. Being sick sucks. A nice warm cup of tea and a hot shower helps me when I feel like shit.

Thanks friend ❤️ That makes a lot of sense and of course being sick can mess with hormones. I didn't even think of that 😏

Also, yesterday was my mom's death anniversary and the first time I grieved her loss as her daughter. So I think in general, this is a really confusing hormonally driven time for me, lol

Thanks for talking me off the ledge a bit. Have my tea with me now and plan on showering once my little one has gone to bed 🐱
