Sorry this is not a sufficiently long enough response but the fact you relate so much is big to me
Hah, I got so impassioned because I'm used to giving myself negative self talk that looks exactly like yours, and I feel like it's normal to talk to myself that way. But when I see someone else saying it about themselves, I guess it triggers a "DO NOT SAY THAT ABOUT MY FRIEND" response.
Honestly all this makes me wish I could say I want to go on HRT so I look like Reggie the Rat and not make people look at me like I grew a third arm
Go be rat gendered. Then you can write a book called Whipping Rat, and it will help all the future Reggie-Eggs (Reggs).
I do want to say I often have the thought that I want to also be called a girl, and actually BE a girl
You can experiment with that any time you'd like. Changing your pronouns on this site is an easy, low impact way to see how you feel about it. As a long time "any" pronoun user, I can tell you that you'll be surprised every time you post and see "she/her". People here will also be happy to treat you the way you want to be treated.
