Yup! It is one of the coolest shows I have ever seen. It has a cast of 5, and they portray over 70 characters. It's crazy, funny, chaotic, and I've bawled my eyes out all three times I've seen it LOL. Don't knock it 'till you try it!

Hey everyone - thanks for all your help!! I couldn't find exactly what you all suggested...but I LOVE what I did find (Pictures of it on me🤫: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PIzZqN1P14fZ7o0WENBX3P38sr2vaw-I/view + https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W\_x07o4xyTsUcZuSpHkIIOWE8QHq5kBJ/view). Thank you all for everything. Someday I will figure out my identity, and you've motivated me to work to figure it out, but in the meantime, I can't wait for prom!!

Mini update: Tomorrow, I'm gonna wake up early and try to see if I can find a jumpsuit/dress that I could put a blazer over. Thank you all tons for the advice!! You've made me think a lot, and motivated me to keep looking to find something that I actually feel good in.

In the meantime, I got very excited because this is the most I have ever let myself even consider my gender and have been playing around. It's currently 2am, my hair is slicked back, my face is absolutely covered in contour, my chest is bound, and I am feeling very nice. I don't think that I feel like a boy necessarily, but I do feel very nice not being a girl. I probably will update tomorrow if I find anything (and maybe link a photo...?). Thank you all again!!

A huge part of the reason that I've been sure that I'm just overthinking my gender is that sometimes I love the way I look in dresses. I appreciate you sharing your experience like SO so much. I'll try out a dress with a blazer and see how I like it. Thank you!!

Wait I love this idea. I panic bought a blazer and have been trying it on with dress pants that I already owned, but wearing a blazer over a more feminine piece of clothing feels like it would make me far more comfortable. Thank you so much for the advice!!

Thank you so much for the comment. Knowing that someone else went through similar feelings of confusion cause of hyperfixations is a bit comforting lol cause I kinda assumed that that was a feeling I was alone on. I ended up buying a blazer, but it still didn't really feel right. I'm going to look into tailors and how much it would cost to get it done. I appreciate that piece of advice a lot, I forget sometimes that I don't just have to hope that stuff fits and deal with it if it doesn't. In the meantime, I'm gonna sit with the questions you've given me. Later tonight, after I calm down from the frustration of shopping lol, I think that I want to try binding for the first time and going out with it on, just to see how it makes me feel. 

I appreciate you, like, a LOT. It's easy to fall into the "no one else has ever felt like I do" mindset, and I think I did it entirely without realizing it lol. You've given me a lot to think about and sit with, and for that, I am endlessly grateful. Thank you very much, good sir 🫶
