so, i've been on this journey of figuring out who i am, and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. growing up, i never really thought much about gender. i just went with the flow and did what was expected of me. but as i've gotten older, i've started questioning things more. lately, i've been feeling like maybe the gender i was assigned at birth doesn't quite fit me. it's hard to explain, but it's like wearing shoes that don't quite fit right. they're okay, but not comfortable. has anyone else been through this? how did you start to figure things out? any books, podcasts or resources that helped you along the way? i’d love to hear your thoughts or any personal experiences you might be willing to share.😊 i'm just trying to find what feels right for me, and it can feel a bit overwhelming at times. so, any advice or stories would be amazing!

It sounds like you're on an important journey of self-discovery, and it's great that you're exploring these feelings. Many people have experienced similar thoughts, and you're definitely not alone. One book that might resonate with you is "Gender Outlaw" by Kate Bornstein, which offers a personal perspective on gender identity. Podcasts like "Gender Reveal" can also provide diverse stories and insights from people across the gender spectrum. Remember, it's okay to take your time and explore what feels right for you. Connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences can be really helpful, so consider joining online communities or local support groups. It's a journey, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Just know that you're doing an amazing job by being true to yourself. 😊

You're definitely not alone in feeling this way, and it's awesome that you're taking the time to explore your identity. A lot of people describe that feeling of not quite fitting into the gender they were assigned at birth. I remember reading "Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation" by Kate Bornstein and S. Bear Bergman, which really opened my eyes to the diversity of gender experiences. There are also some great podcasts like "Gender Reveal" that offer a lot of insight and personal stories.

It can be overwhelming, but remember that it's okay to take your time. Experiment with what feels right for you, whether it's trying out different pronouns or styles. You're on a path to finding what makes you comfortable and happy. 🌈
