Yeah, but they're doing that thing where when we're in the closet, or not transitioning, we downplay our own identity and needs, and call ourselves fake.
I'm just making it clear that she's very much not fake, she's as real as any of us, whatever her life looks like :)
You touch something,
I feel fake by "doing the girl" at home.
But there is no disturb to me, to appear as an man, all my life I've been an man for others.
I don't care of my gender finally, that's not define me self I think.
That's why i define me self as non-binary.
To be honest, I think I don't have the correct vocabulary. I understand what you are all saying. To precise, for me an trans person is effectively someone who affirm the gender with outfits or make up, at the world. In this case an man to woman.
I'm really far from that.
But this hair removal I don't know how to explain, but today at work its like I feel different (even the sensation of the legs within pants have changed).
You can take your time to find the vocabulary. Finding yourself is a journey, not a destination :)
But wherever you end up, you're just as real as the rest of us. Don't compare yourself to others and think they're real and you're not.
Its hard to not compare but thats really true. I like the journey instead the destination.
Thanks again, really
