Let's have another good week everyone
after a grand total of 18 months on E, i have decided to change my profile pronouns from they/them to they/she. feel like i'm doing this all out of order
I changed mine almost a decade from she/her to null/void.
It's more common than you think, people grow and change as they age too. All types of funny things can happen ^^
I've barely started on HRT and already changed my pronouns. But I know my deep voice and facial hair get me gendered male. Even by my internal cultural habits.
So I kinda feel like I did it in reverse order myself. But I like identifying as a woman and hated being a boy. So fuck it!
I kept a full beard until like 8 or 9 months in. Not even because I was trying to boymode, because I liked it. hopefully getting that shit annihilated soon. When I started E I was a he/they, still use my birth name now, I'm so out of whack lmao
I know I'm not doing it wrong, but I have so much admiration for girls like you it just seems like you're so in tune with your feelings and able to know how to view yourselves in the most affirming way. it's inspiring and I like hanging out with people who commited more confidently than I have because I feel like I have a lot to learn and grow about
Basically my plan for going through things. They/them is good for me now. If it ever gets awkward, I could be open to others and a name change. Hopefully I get rid of the beard sooner than 9 months in. Seems like a good way for me, but also think its cool that others have confidence and more enthusiasm.
euphoria/dysphoria
Tbf, I started to identify as non-binary inwardly a couple of years ago when I first became aware of a persistent female part but did nothing gender affirming about it because it was to overwhelming.
So, it took me time to commit too. I think the threat of losing access on account of politics lit a bit of a fire under me too once my egg really cracked and I understood gender euphoria/dysphoria as a lived dialectic. So, commiting to wanting to legally change my name and gender I dived into once I could see it felt right. And I still experience a lot of gender dysphoria. I just try to follow the euphoria to the best of my ability while not getting to overwhelmed by the big picture.
