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've given it some pondering. So many of my friends, family and loved ones are trans that I feel like an odd one out!

There's no one aspect of what being a man means, that encompasses all men and excludes all non-men. But still somehow thinking of myself as a man is important to me.

Also there was the time @goatsarah offered me an HRT pill and I had a deeply visceral nope-out reaction, despite knowing intellectually that one pill wouldn't harm or change me.
