      it has to be a common thing

      drunkenly being philosophical about gender and stuff as I've experienced it so far

      I think we all end up walking the same path, even if we all start and stop at different places. Every person is unique, and their experience is unique to them. But it's like we're all walking the same path. The same challenges, the same triumphs. Different characters, different circumstances, same energy.

      If I wanted to try and take a drunken stab at being philosophical, for me when I feel like this, I think it's probably a "performative" thing. It's like "You've spoken it, now it's real. Now you must play your role. By telling someone, there are now expectations. By inviting people to see you, you must now be seen."

      And for me, my gender apparently sits right at the intersection of OCD and PDA. What's funny is that starting transition and hrt has effectively stopped the ruminating and ideation in its tracks. But then I have big waves of it hit right after I do something big like coming out to my mom.

      Wherever it comes from, however it decides to manifest, it'll subside. It's just a thing. And I can choose to ignore it.

      Eventually itll be over and now your even closer to being yourself, on your terms. cat-trans
