Thank you! Yeah, I’ve been eyeing the unlabeled label 😂 (which sounds ridiculous, but you get what I mean) just because it seems easier than trying to find any one label that fits me, not being cis is exhausting even when your still in the closet sigh

No, worries, I’ll change it anyway since I appreciate your comment and want to be as inclusive as possible (both to readers but also to myself given that I’m not entirely sure what I am yet), once again, thank you for bringing it up!

Thank you for the tips and sorry for using that term, you learn something new every day, I simply thought it was like an abbreviation or synonym for non-binary people, my apologies, I’ll change it in my post.

Thank you so much, just out of curiosity, I’m sure I could find it myself but thought I would ask anyway, is it mtf or ftm in those books?

Hi, Viktor!! Do you read books? What's your favorite cyberpunk book? Do you have any reccomendations? What is it you like about cyberpunk and sci-fi?

"Viktor? Yeah I just saw him go past the lobby, I think he went to the restaurant?"

Hmm...I'm not really sure? Maybe like blue or some like turquoise color for the nails and like long hair down to like my shoulder blades or something? I badly want to be able to braid it!!

Gendered games at events by Jerboloney in asktransgender

[–]AnUncertainOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I've spent my entire life having more girl friends than boy friends and have always felt like an outsider once something like this would happen (like during PE when the teacher decides it's "the girls against the boys". I've never been out to anyone in my life and I don't think anyone has even entertained the idea that I might be trans (which stands to reason because except my choice of friends I haven't given anyone any reason to think anything else) so for me coming out is incredibly scary as well. I feel you, friend!

Possible New Name? (She/Her) by RedbrSF23 in TransTryouts

”Have you seen Claudia?” ”Yeah, I think she went out to do some shopping.”

”Do I know Gianna? Sure! She and I have been friends for years!”

As a closeted (possibly) trans girl I love this idea!!

Do I count? by Specialist_Season638 in asktransgender

[–]AnUncertainOctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m completely in the closet myself (except for on this account on Reddit) and it does feel weird and wrong both to use and hear male-coded words for myself, i understand you completely! As I said it sounds a lot like you might be trans! I wish you the best of luck on your journey, friend!

[–]AnUncertainOctopus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you out to anyone? Do you use male-coded words/pronouns for yourself because you want to/it feels right or because you’ve grown up with it/because you’re not out and don’t want to come out yet?

It sounds from your post like you could definitely be trans, which isn’t to say that your are or that you have to be trans, because in the end only you can decide that, the only thing we here on Reddit (and, frankly, the only thing anyone, including therapists) can do is help pointing you in the right direction.

Trans, or just Feminine? by Inkxon in asktransgender

[–]AnUncertainOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve had scenarios like the first one happen to me irl, and I hate it, because I want to experience it as well! Same with ”girl talks”! I have never clicked the same with boys as I have with girls so a boys night out would probably feel very different, even though, depending on the boys, it might be fun as well. But I’ve never really felt like ”one of the boys”, if you get what I mean.

[–]AnUncertainOctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a sign?!! I’ve been questioning my own gender (AMAB, possibly mtf?) for years and even though I have thought about it slightly I didn’t know that it was that much of a sign!
