    It's kinda funny how hard some labels are to apply on myself. Calling myself trans feels wrong, but saying I want to be transfem does not. I'll say all day how much I wish I was born a lesbian but calling myself a transwoman just makes me feel weird. But I can call myself an egg and that sits fine with me. but what do eggs hatch into

      It took me months into literally being out as nonbinary to most of my school before I finally felt comfortable enough to call myself “trans” without feeling like an imposter who didn’t deserve it. Labels are funny.

        I still feel like an imposter transwoman from time to time. It's an awful feeling. One would think I'd get over it at some point.

          The type of dragon I was thinking of: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/juuou-mujin-no-fafnir/images/d/d2/Tear_Lightning.png/

          spoiler/CW

          Tear says she's a dragon, for those who don't know. Wouldn't recommend the show - harem anime and the usual CWs with anime harems...

            Ooh, an anime girl dragon not a fire breathing kind. I don't really watch anime, I know nothing about Tear.

            I'm still down though.

      I'm nonbinary transfem and I also don't relate to "woman". My identity really grew out from wanting people to not perceive me as a "man". I wanted to be a beautiful queer little femcreature that other queer femcreatures adore. As I experience femininity, particularly within cishet society, I find myself even more turned off by any expectations of gender, and emboldened in my own identity and selfexpression. It's a good thing 🫠
