When I was figuring my self out, one of the things that cracked off a big chunk of shell was a reasonably famous dude on Twitter (well you know Twitter famous) saying he'd thought about his gender and come to the conclusion he was really a dude.

Up until that point I'd been hiding behind the assumption that anyone who actually thought about this would end up figuring they aren't their gender assigned at birth, and most people have just never thought about it but were probably some flavour of non binary at least.

So... Hay... Cis folk, I... Errr... Think there are some of you following me... Maybe...

Want to do a trans person a solid and chime in with your answers below.?

Have you thought about your gender? What it would be like to not be your current gender?

Did it feel good? Better? "Oh fuck no"?

@mindpersephone Good question.

When I was very young, I wanted to be a fireman, and I did not see any problem with this scenario at all.

Sometimes, I imagine what it might be like and I do believe that the trans version of me would be a far more relaxed person, far sexier too. I think there is probably a lot to unpack behind this, because at the same time, I can't imagine not being the that me I am.

Recently for an office move, I wore my man's trousers and a shirt of his; I did feel sexier.

@mindpersephone Also more confident.

I'm attracted people regardless of gender. Somehow though, trans men are singularly attractive to me and I wonder what that means on some deeper level, now you mention it.

So that's a very thought provoking set of questions.

Good, better, but not oh fuck no.

@mindpersephone But I can't imagine not being the me I am... so :-)
