How do I explain, both to other people and myself, these feelings (especially why they are new). It just feels really weird coming out of no where and saying "hey guys, I know you've never seen me as anything but a guy and I've never really had a problem with that, until now when I'm suddenly very bothered by the idea, but also gender is some innate thing I was born with."
I feel like I can't be trans or I'd have known/felt dysphoria for longer :kitty-cri: but also I don't want to be a cis man.
mental health stuff
Ive thought like this for a while and still mostly do, but my (new?) instincts have dragged me further along transition at every step, so I trust in that small part of my brain as something i can refer to (to myself or others) as the innate knowledge of my identity. Its still just one part of what feels like multiple layers of subconscious pitted against each other, but its the only one that doesn't feel like a choice to trust in, unlike the ones telling me that i feel worse as I transition. Those I blame on the depersonalization fading and making me actually feel the bad but mundane mental health issues that have been dormant ugh.Thank you, that helps. I really don't feel like I have a choice either.
