    Is it normal to be genderfluid in the sense that you get extreme transfeminine dysphoria due to puberty, identify as a girl/woman from like 13 to 20 or so, get nonbinary with it and even a bit masculine for a couple years, and then basically have a mental switch one day a month after graduating college where you're back to being a woman and can't imagine androgyny let alone masculinity again? puzzled

        That's nice but I'm kind of having an identity crisis right now so I'd like a frame of reference

            Thank you, but I'm not concerned about validity as I agree that there's nothing wrong with shifting self-perception of gender. I'm specifically concerned with it manifesting as a complete disconnect rather than a transition.

            I just want to know if it's a genderfluid thing or something more complicated.

              I don't think this something someone else is gonna be able to tell you. Talking about it is gonna help you figure it out for yourself though

                Nonono I'm a trans woman. I feel disconnected from the few years in college where I had a different gender identity.

              It could be you tried it for awhile and just didn't like it.

              Identity is generally very fluid at that age. Gender or otherwise. People try new things and some stuff works and some stuff doesn't. That really goes for any age but especially when we are younger.

              If you have a history of splitting or black and white thinking, it's possible that's what is happening. But when I split I tend to do it on a lot of things, not just one aspect of my life.

      I had something kinda like that. I think for me it was that I had just gotten really good at repressing?
