    Just randomly feeling like you aren't trans is so weird. Like I was feeling so euphoric earlier, I've been chatting with a couple of you all day about trans stuff, and now I just... don't feel it. This happens semi often too.

      This happens to me as well, and I have no idea how to properly explain, nor do I know why it happens. Males me doubt myself and feel horrible every time though, as if my self-confidence can afford to get any lower sadness

      Feelings are transient. Personally I fluctuate between debating medical transitioning with two equal internal positions and not thinking about it and thus feeling fine. I never feel masc, but I can debate how fem I want to be.

      I think it makes sense, certain things will cause you to feel it more but it can't necessarily be at that amplitude 24/7 you know? Brain makes room for other things.

      I was chalking that up to fluidity for a while but I don’t know if that’s actually what gender-fluid folks experience

      Honestly, not sure if I ever feel particularly trans. But I certainly don't feel cis. Easier to feel confident in that for me. Like, all I have to wait is til my mom messages me and inevitably includes "son" in her message to remember how much it annoys me, for example. I have not clearly communicated I don't like that, so it's my fault imo, but it still just makes me want to ignore her...

        I definitely feel similar. For me it varies between "not a guy" and "girl" for the most part.
