Mayhaps I'm questioning my gender??? Idk???

Okay, so I'm having a little crisis, nothing major, nothing heavy, just a small thing I'm thinking about while listening to jazz music interwoven with the sound of rain.

(this sounds so dramatic,,,,, anyways)

So, I'm very comfortable in my gender, I have never really questioned it and and besides the obvious struggles that come with being a woman, I'm super happy I am one. However, I have recently found that I also feel very comfortable with they/them pronouns?? Like, I'm a she/her, but I also feel comfortable with being a they/them and with being masculine and butch sometimes, but I'm not non-binary. I 100% feel like a woman. Is that weird? Anyways, I think I might be a she/they but a woman? Idk, gender is weird

Hot take: The “masculinity so fragile!” jokes gloss over the fact that femininity is also a fragile and easily bruised part of many people’s self-perception, and the big difference is actually more that society rewards men for being whiny bitches and discourages women from complaining, so the fragility of masculinity is more apparent.

I just changed my bio to (kinda loosely) reflect how I feel about gender and I’m quite proud of meself

but also…..

nervous..

do I commit? It’s all so sudden.. I wasn’t expecting this.. we’ve only been dating a few months.. all these people are starring.. why did you decide to do this in public? you know I hate being the centre of attention.. but it does feel right doesn’t it?

it does.

whelp here I go -

Gender today? Your Gay Awakening

[erikonymous]

Well, you know, minority politics has been a lot easier to sell than to just say, “Being human ought to get you human dignity,” full stop. If you can pin down the difference, if you can make the difference the salient issue, it somehow makes it easier for people to stomach the fact that they can’t go out and just beat people over the head. I don’t know why that is. I find it intensely frustrating.

Questions.

Am I settling for less because of my current insecurities?

Am I going blind again to what is real?

What do I believe in anymore?

What is the price to pay?

Will I ever love again?
