@exelia_antonov In 2005, for my creative writing dissertation, I wrote a short story about a woman who was writing a story about a guy who shared my deadname.

In the story, that character was described by a writing critic within the story as unbelievable.

I was basically calling my deadname self a fiction.

& I still didn't realise I was trans.

PSA

If you currently identify as a cis man or cis woman, but:

• You have recurring thoughts of being a different gender.
• You would be a different gender, if given the choice.
• You wouldn't be fussed if you magically woke up one day as a different gender.

... you might be interested to know that this isn't a common thing for cis folks to do 😅

The totally cis male urge to do that quest in RuneScape where the makeover mage turns you into a girl, then stay that way for reasons you tell yourself like:

• The armour is cheaper.
• I like the aesthetic choices more.
• It's a nice escape from reality, you know?

... then proceed not to even begin to question whether you might be trans for about 12 years 😅

I get what you mean about not liking certain hair growth. I may have felt similar things myself, but didn't feel able to shave any of it until university 😅

The totally cis male urge to be obsessed with "The Passion Of New Eve" by Angela Carter when studying it at university 😅

@ria Yeah: quite a common thing for trans women & fems 😅

Whenever I made a new fem character in any game or when I used to write (up until the end of university), I would obsess over names.

Still cis tho.

I skipped last week's session, due to last Thursday's "events", but I'm looking forward to today's 2 hour session. This will be my 8th session & bring my cumulative total to 11 hours.

I've just plastered my mouth & chin in numbing cream, then covered it in cling film, in preparation for the spicy needles 😅

If I have the spoons & the time, I'm thinking of starting my application for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) this weekend.

Clearly still cis tho :TransHeart:

@Sym_Trkl Talking about no signs:

• I used to play RuneScape a lot from 2007 to about maybe 2009. After the quest with the witch who changed me to a girl, I never changed back. Everyone assumed I was a girl & I kinda just never corrected them 😅
• I preferred playing fem characters, but would even get into cycles of deleting said characters in MMORPGs out of guilt / shame, as if I were doing something wrong.

There were no signs!!! 🤦‍♀️

Question for any trans folks:

What were your own "But there were no signs" moments? :trans_heart: :nonbinary_heart: :genderqueer_heart: :genderfluid_heart: :agender_heart:

The perfectly cis urge to nap alongside a blåhaj 🤭

Fun fact: before my egg cracked & I came out as trans, I used to empathise TF out of Everything by Alanis Morissette in terms of how my wife puts up with me.

Still thought I was cis though 😅
