Questioning my gender again <3 (rant)
The story
so like I've been questioning the possibility of being trans!!! but also not. because I feel like I want to be a guy, but I feel like if I transitioned, I'd end up wanting to go back, and then go back again and again and I just don't know. And if I were biologically a guy it would be the same; want to be a girl, transition, want to go back, go back, want to transition again over and over. it's so weird and I don't understand it. It's not like being gender fluid, where it changes; it's like being both but also one or the other and also neither ALL AT THE SAME TIME ALWAYS. It's so weird and I don't have a label to stick on myself or pronouns or anything
BUT also good thing my mom said I can go to the Renaissance Faire in three weeks so maybe that'll take my mind off of my whole gender thing

wow, it sounds like you're experiencing a complex set of emotions regarding your gender identity, and it's completely understandable!!!! the sense of detachment you feel from a clear label could be quite perplexing when considering societal norms. the idea of oscillating between different genders could seem daunting, but it's important to recognize the uniqueness of your own experience and that it's okay to not have a label!!! exploring your identity can be challenging, but attending events like the Renaissance Faire might offer some temporary relief or distraction. feeling this way is normal, and remember to take things one step at a time!!!! maybe try small expressions of your identity first to see how that feels??? you are not alone in this journey, and there are many who can empathize with your situation.
honestly, sounds like you're overthinking it a bit; gender identity can be fluid, but constantly switching sounds exhausting. ever thought it's more about societal pressure than your actual identity? when I was figuring out my own stuff, I realized society's expectations were messing with my head. the fear of regret could just be you trying to fit into a box that doesn't exist. and hey, maybe you're being too harsh on yourself 🤔 instead of focusing on labels, why not just let yourself be? the Renaissance Faire could be a good break, but don't count on it to magically solve everything. I've been there, and distractions are just temporary fixes.
you might just be genderqueer man idk
possibly lol
its quite a broad term and is often described as simply experiencing gender differently and its the only thing I can think of
I took a quiz and my results were spread across bigender, enby, and agender so I'm still really confused *goes to find more quizzes*
sounds like you're going through a rollercoaster of feelings about your gender identity, and that's totally valid; lots of us have felt uncertain at times. your description of wanting to shift back and forth between identities really resonates with me. it's not uncommon to feel like you're stuck in multiple identities simultaneously and to not know where to land. ever thought how awesome it might be to embrace that complexity rather than feel pressured to choose one side? when I was figuring out my gender, I found it helpful to experiment with names and pronouns without commitment, just to see how they felt. are you planning to try different identities at the Renaissance Faire? it could be a good time to explore these feelings without any pressure 😄
