I just recently cracked the egg and today I had my first therapy session and I asked her to use she/her pronouns and call me by Val (short for Valquíria).

She used Val multiple times throughout our appointment and I couldn't help but keep blushing and feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Afterwards she created a Google drive folder for me to share stuff and it's called "Val's thoughts". It's for a girl called Val and she's me!

I can't stop smiling, this is incredible! 💖😍

I recently (today!) cracked my egg and now identify as a woman!

I'm Brazilian, so the actual name would be Valquíria, but Val also works.

I met a girl with this name like 5+ years ago and this name stuck to me for some reason.

I like the "powerful" vibe it gives off, but also I find it maybe a little cringe because it is kinda nerdy like "I love Norse mythology 🤓"

But leaning on the power side, I'm definitely not the girly girl, I have a bunch of tattoos and I want to get so many more.

Idk, what do you all think?

Edit: more info about me. I work as a programmer. I have two dogs Amora (blackberry) and Feijão (bean). I'm mostly into video games but lately I'm getting into cooking. I live with my girlfriend, we've been together for five years, living together for two. I listen to mostly metal, my favorite bands are BMTH, 5FDP, Atreyu, Trivium (I enjoy many more but I'd say those are the top ones).

Today I said out loud to my girlfriend: "I'm a woman!"

I've been questioning for some time, she's been really supportive. Some days ago I asked her to use she/her pronouns for me and I quite enjoyed it.

Yesterday we went to a museum and I saw that the person on the entrance registered me as male and at first it didn't bother me, but then it started growing on me over time and now I realized that I really wished it said female there.

I guess this constitutes me cracking the egg? 🐣 I'm not really familiar with the terminology yet

But I'm so happy! I'm pretty scared as well, but overall it's a pretty overwhelming good feeling, like now I'm going to start my actual life.

Thanks so much for everyone in this community, I wouldn't get here without all your support! 🏳️‍⚧️ 💕

I AM A WOMAN!

I (28 AMAB) have been recently going down a pretty deep spiral of questioning my overall identity, until it reached the root, gender.

I made a previous post some days ago questioning if I could be trans even if I don't have gender dysphoria. Well, since then I discovered the gender dysphoria bible and I definitely feel dysphoria.

So far I can pretty confidently say that I am not a cis man. But I'm kinda torn between female and non-binary.

I can't picture myself as a "standard" hetero female, with all the femininity and whatnot. I never felt attracted by these kind of woman and never fantasized about being one of them either. By standard I mean the Sabrina Carpenters and the like.

But the tattooed blue haired alt lesbian goddess? God I wish I was her.

I need to learn more about all the different ways one could be non-binary, but I guess it feels less abrupt than going from male to female directly?

Because otherwise I don't really like any masculine characteristics that I have.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this train of thought anymore. I know this is really early to have all figured out and I have a lot of ground to cover, but my mind is racing with thoughts and emotions and I kinda need to vent.

I'm currently traveling so I don't have access to my therapist, so I'm counting on you to comment and discuss about this. Did you have or are currently having any similar questioning, doubts? Leave them at the comments below, and don't forget to like and subscribe!

Or maybe I'm too deep to even realize that I'm feeling it?

I'm 28 M and recently I've been questioning my gender identity. I started to watch a lot of videos and reading a lot of posts about being trans, specially signs that they realize hinted at the fact that they were trans and I feel the same with a lot of them.

I've been in a similar journey in the past, where two vears ago I got diagnosed as autistic. (I know these journeys are quite different, but I mean similar in a sense of discovering something about yourself.) In the beginning it was pretty similar of what is happening now, I watched and read a lot about people that got diagnosed as adults and the signs that they were and I felt a lot similar as well.

But, with being trans, one thing that looks critical is to feel gender dysphoria, every story I've seen had some and I don't think I feel any. I'm okay with having a p*nis, I'm okay with being called he/him.

But then I start to think if other feelings I have about myself are maybe a byproduct of the hidden dysphoria that I just didn't quite connect yet. I've been diagnosed with depression since I was 15. I have negative self esteem. I never took a single selfie of myself. I hate the way I look. I wish could be just a ball of pure consciousness, without any physical manifestation.

So all of these things let me down this path of identity crisis and I'm reaching this place of maybe thinking I'm trans.

Well, I have more to say but I think this is already too much lol

If you've read everything, thank you so much and I really appreciate it :3

Edit: I fixed the weird formatting, don't know what it was lol
