Hey, I literally only started questioning my gender yesterday, but I think I might be demigirl? I'm afab, and I've been comfortable with she/her pronouns and the term "girl" for all of my life, but I tend to dislike traditionally feminine stuff like makeup, dresses, jewelry, etc. although that could be because I'm pretty sensitive to textures and wearing those things is physically uncomfortable. But I've always seen myself as "tomboyish" and I tend to present in a fairly neutral way (1/2)
(2/2) with a hoodie/tshirt (with no cleavage whatsoever) and jeans, but I’ve also found that I am not comfortable wearing pretty much anything else femme. (I haven’t had a chance to try anything masc, but I think it would be more comfy.) I’m not dysphoric, but I guess I don’t feel fully female, either? So I’m just wondering, from what I’ve said, if you think I could be a demigirl or it’s just the tactile sensitivity stuff. Thanks so much for this blog, btw, I really appreciate all you’ve done!
it’s possible that you just don’t like what’s considered “female” presentation. gender and presentation are actually not tied together, so you could be a girl but present more masculine, some version or neutral, or switch it around. with the information you gave us i can’t really guess more then that, but i think that examining your presentation separate from your gender would be a good start.
