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 I did. I guess it would have its pros and cons ;)

@mindpersephone maybe I should elaborate a bit more. Since about 10 years, I'm in the kink scene and getting more engaged in queer rights. In that time, I got to know a lot of trans people (and ended up dating a few of them). And I also started crossdressing sometimes. I did spend a fair amount thinking of my gender (and sexual orientation), and I came to the conclusion, that I like my body as it is.

@mindpersephone What I don't like about it: I feel I'd be more approachible if I looked more feminine. (But looking like a hippie helps a bit already.)
And sometimes I wish my body was a bit more androgynous. I'm a bit lazy with body care, I only shave every few weeks, and I grow more beard than I like in that period.
And of course I have fantasized what it feels like to have sex in a female body ;)
