Shout out to that one tumblr post that was like: "You know it's not just trans people who ponder their gender, it's healthy for cis people to take a look inside and be like! Yep that's all good!" And I read this post and was like.... like what do you look at inside though T O T??? I asked my boyfriend how he knew he was a boy and he said he just felt this unexplainable intrinsic feeling he was a boy... and I'm like... I HAVE GENUINELY NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WTF ššš!!!!!!!! So apparently its like. Normal for people to feel this inexplicable 'Gender' feeling or whatever,,, I feel like how asexual people feel when they discover people around them aren't making up the fact they experience sexual arousal T O T
Obviously all my sciency stuff is just speculation! But I'm the type of person who believe that everything has a rationale behind it, and like an adopted child who is curious about their biological parents, I just am just interested in my origins! The field of genetics still is mostly just like,,,, hmmm we think this whatever MIGHT be a contributing factor to a person turning out this way... maybe. If you are more interested in the topic I discussed, just look up 'Genetic Memories in Animals' and there should be some more stuff OuO!
I'd love to hear how this 'inexplicable gender feeling' feels to gendered individuals! For those willing to share, I'd love to listen!
On the genetic topic, trauma and its responses are passed down by epigenetic traits (meaning it's not directly the dna but the proteins that wrap the dna and change which genes are expressed or suppressed). It's probably the reason why we have phobias! So it is a trait that is visible in humans, not only animals! It's a cool genetic features that allows the survival of a species! So it could make sense that our response to gender is also a form of generational trauma. However, always remember that genes and genetic are never 100%: having a genetic trait (genotype) doesn't mean you will for sure express said trait (phenotype), and the social context and enviromental factors around you play an important role!
