When you picture yourself in your mind, do you imagine yourself precisely how you look in real life, or do you see something else (an alter ego, a person who looks differently, another being, etc.)? When you're visualizing from the first person's pov, whose hands are you seeing? If you have aphantasia, consider "seeing" as a metaphor for the way you think of the concept of yourself.

The main options (we put them here due to the character limit):

🪞: I only imagine myself the way I look like irl.

🪆: I imagine someone/something that represents me.

✨️: I imagine myself in multiple ways: the way I am, as another being, as an abstract concept, you name it.

Your answer:

🪞 + I'm cis.

🪞 + I'm trans / non-binary.

🪞 + I don't have a gender identity / Idk what my gender identity is.

🪆 + I'm cis.

🪆 + I'm trans / non-binary.

🪆 + I don't have a gender identity / Idk what my gender identity is.

✨️ + I'm cis.

✨️ + I'm trans / non-binary.

✨️ + I don't have a gender identity / Idk what my gender identity is.

I've never once imagined myself. I couldn't draw my own face if god asked.

Something entirety else (please expand on that in the comments).

I'm a pure consciousness having a meaty experience; Self is a silly thing.
