Most stuff involving me is weird so its to be expected. =P
Well, I don't really use the forums, so yeah. x3
Ha ha, well, quoth a paraphrased adage, my position changes when new information comes in, and I would not have it otherwise. =3
(Internal reaction: Wow! You know more than one trans* person in person! You must be really trustworthy and friendly! I only know, like, one. ...And that's me.)
But uh, how it feels to be transgender, well it kind of differs.
Dysphoria: "Oh how I hate living. I dislike interacting as a MALE with an ugly MALE face and an ugly MALE voice and an ugly MALE name." Also, "All of life is just a decay into death......preceding that... MALENESS. Which is worse than death in my opinion. -stares longingly at a knife-"
Euphoria: "Oh my gosh someone said 'she' in general reference to me!! I know its a stranger that I was 10 feet away from but oh my gosh! =D" Also, "Wearing a dress is reeeeeaaaaallly fucking comfortable. I feel so secure and nice. I could just fall asleep. ...oh wait, someone will find me. ...I don't think I care. =w="
So yeah, it can be very bad or very nice with absolutely no in-betweens.
Yeah, I dunno if you can tell. I mean, on one hand, they could just not be invested in the concept of machoness pragmatically (non-manly stuff is fun!), though, on the other hand, I HATED sports and competitive games, I LOVED imaginative games, and all of my self-representation was that of a girl (though not explicitly, just that my self-representation was done in the style of how I did girls normally.) and I identified with girl characters and/or crossdressing characters, and yeah. So...I guess maybe introduce it to him/her and find out? Because I had absolutely no concept of trans-anything until I was...old. So yeah. :P
(Also, yes, this is deep. Sssshhh. xD)
