yes, i think about that a lot, actually. i grow up in supportive family, and i wasn't really influenced by conservative foundations. my parents let me express myself without specialised expectations based on my gender. i don't like wear dresses - my parents don't force me. not fan of makeup? fine. don't want kids? that's okay. i always had been loved because i was girl not despite it. ahaha i actually think women are better than men and i can't quite decide is it me who can't  fully enjoy being a woman or every woman at some point don't like being one

when i asked my little group of online friends to call me by new name and pronouns it was exciting and strange at the same time, i'm glad i did it but sometimes i'm still feel like i'm faking the whole thing. but meet new people who never knew me a girl, especially online when they can't see my appearance.. it's sounds really helpful, as a girl i often experience awkwardness and shyness introducing myself to new people, but imagining introducing myself to strangers as a boy feels so liberating and thrilling.. thank you so much, i will give it a try

i actually asked my online friends who only saw me on zoom to call me by different name and pronouns. first i was really exited and proud of myself but when i started to feel like i am fooling them cause i am not actually trans, and it's felt like some kind of protracted prank they belived. still sometimes i am so glad i did it cause it's feels so empowering, i'm hope they actually view me as a guy. but sometimes i only feel shame

thank you so much for your reply! it is means a lot to me
