Quick question, how do I differentiate being attracted to a character and wanting to BE a character. This has made me question my gender identity since childhood.
Do I want him, or do I want to be him??
I am choosing a new name and it’s down to these two. I connect with this vibe a lot and need help deciding what name it gives off?
Hi, I feel like a fraud because I have always been so unsure with how to identify myself. I am AFAB but rarely relate to female characters unless they are masculine presenting. At the same time I relate so much to male characters and prefer being viewed as ”male” in a relationship. But, my struggle is that sometimes I am CONVINCED I am a girl, and sometimes CONVINCED I am a boy. My anatomy doesn’t help either cause it works as an argument to convince myself I’m a girl. Calling myself trans feels like a lie when I feel cis, and calling myself a girl feels like a lie too, and often uncomfortable, because what about him??
To add to it I can’t call myself straight. I like to identify myself as gay but for men. And don’t get me started on body dysphoria, it’s like it goes both ways and I simply cannot make up my mind.
It’s just, sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve to call myself a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Can anyone relate and how to you deal with these feelings??
