@jemma Sometimes one, sometimes the other. When I thought about it I conceptualised it as "want to be," but when I wasn't looking at it dead on I'd often conceptualise it as "am"

@epistemophagy @jemma to me it's more of a sense (like proprioception) than a feeling (like a mood), still went with the second one because it still kinda fits

@brocolie @jemma yeah that was it for me, but also a sense like the autistic sixth sense of "oh no, I just socially fucked up" like "oh no, they just noticed I'm a girl"

@jemma @brocolie I had an internal monologue of self-abuse and it was always feminine-gendered slurs for some reason
