I realize those two things can go hand-in-hand. I genuinely don’t mean to be offensive and am asking in earnest. I personally was born male assigned at birth, feel pretty male but also hate being male. It’s not that I wish I was something else, I just don’t like being male and can’t relate to most “male experiences” besides having a dick. I don’t know anyone who is not cishet irl, so I could definitely use some education in this area
Honestly same, it really took getting to a point in my life where I had some stability (social supports, etc) and could afford to be introspective without having to worry about dealing with social fallout on top of everything else - I didn't start until wayyyy after college because even that was in a very conservative place.
I do regret not doing it sooner as well, but it just wasn't in the cards materially. Regardless I still look hotter than I've ever been so
that's been helping
