Ok I'd appreciate advice or anything
So I've been thinking for. Maybe two or three years at least, that I may not be cis.
I present as a woman, according to my assigned gender. And tbh I really like having long pretty hair and wearing dresses and bows and whatnot. But I think I'd...... really like going by he/him and being refered to as a man and such.......
I've seen other posts online with a similar sentiment, and various coments responding the feeling comes from either sexualization of the affeminate man or desire to fit into the male patriarchal role. Idk, it could be either.
All I know is that I'd like to have facial hair and wear dresses and look cute with both. I'd like to present feminine but still be adressed as a man. Like guys who wear dresses, it's obvious that they were amab. It'd be cool if that could happen to me.
I refuse to make any transitions because I like my current image and I'm honestly terrified of asking for different pronouns irl. The most I'd do (if I had the money) would probably be trying to grow facial hair and get a more masculine build (no t because I'm afraid of hormonal changes).
Still idk if I'm "trans". I feel bad calling myself that when there are like... "actual" trans people? Idk whether to call them that, but that's how it feels
I'd feel bad telling my friends any of this, bc I'm friends with "actual" trans guys who actually care to transition and be percieved as themselves. Also I have long time cis friends who have known me all my life as a woman and I'm not sure if they could see me as anything else
I could use advice
