If you're miserable, you can't know what happiness is by guessing necessarily.
You need to experience being less miserable for a bit, get used to that (which takes time to adjust to), and then consider which aspects are less uncomfortable.
Seek those aspects or whatever they give you in other areas of your life.

If after trying out different things, you are ALLOWED to realise you are more comfortable in your assigned gender role, or how you reinterpret it.
You're allowed to be cis. You may just feel more secure in your self-image than people who never bothered to check.

"I can be wrong about any of these. I hope I am, actually.
It can be easier to figure out which parameters you resonate with (for, against, or multivalent) or feel nothing about. From what your internal responses are, you can refine your ideas until they feel truest to your bodymind's reactions. ๐Ÿ˜ฝ

Ah yes, the joys of a "high-context language". Like how British euphemisms cover every facet of life in any combination, with redundancies (contingencies, I meant).

huh. That'll do it.

I promise the last message made no sense in Japanese either. Curse of the ADHD, I guess. Like 'luck of the Irish" but more confusing for everyone involved.

I think there's a huge overlap between authoritarian thinking, external locus of control, rigid gender roles, and allism / non-autism.

inB4 "omg, I'm cis and *I'm* not authoritarian!!"
no, but you prove yourself contrarian devil's advocate on impulse. Why?
