@lia_kim

why do you want to undergo HRT?

@macniel @lia_kim I don't particular care abt my own gender or what pronouns ppl use for me and I want to achieve a more androgynous look for myself :p

@lia_kim oh yeah, I fell the same. Maybe you are nonbinary?

@macniel @lia_kim Not that either bcz that usually means being not cool with gendered pronouns for myself...I'm just me

If someone wants to see me as a dude I'm a dude, if they want to see a girl I'm a girl and if they wish for me to be an enby I'm a enby. I have 0 preference 😅

@lia_kim mhm I guess you do you. I'm enby and have no issues with any gendered pronouns (even though I secretly prefer she).

But to circle back to your initial question. I guess you are as cis as you want (or not want) to be, and wanting to undergo HRT doesn't change that at all :)

Dysphoria / dysmorphia are not required to be trans. Gender euphoria is what broke my egg.

@janetlogan @lia_kim I don't think I'll have Euphoria but ig we'll see (have to wait like 7 years to finish med school and move elsewhere before I can even consider doing HRT)

FWIW: Euphoria came first, for me. I developed (small) breasts because of a drug reaction. Instead of being appalled, I was elated. That was my euphoria moment.

Realizing I was trans came soon thereafter.
