If you want to hear it: you sound pretty trans to me! The real question you should ask yourself is if you’d like to change anything about your gender or presentation. Would you like to experiment with people using she/her pronouns? Would you like to get feminising hormones? Would you like to present feminine more often? Some of these are huge steps and others are easier. It’s difficult to know whether you’re a woman if you don’t have the experience to know what it entails. But it’s clear that you have a desire to present more feminine. I’d say just follow your instincts and experiment in any way you’d like. You might find yourself experimenting more and more until you realise that you are a woman. Or you realise that you love presenting feminine but rather call yourself non binary. Gender is a multidimensional noneuclidean spectrum :) You don’t need to check all boxes on some list to identify as trans. You don’t need bottom surgery to be a woman. Try to free yourself from the limitations and labels that you are so used to. It’s difficult but very liberating.

NB people can identify as trans. Usually NB people who go through any type of medical transition identify as trans. It’s quite common.

CIA has their own wikipedia editors. As do most large companies & rich people. Wikipedia is not exactly neutral, but for melon it’s not biased enough.

Therapy is not some magical fix. It usually involves learning how to cope healthily and to tell the people who are close to you what you need to be more comfortable in stressful situations.

Any form of gender policing is oppressive and should be ignored. Your therapist is obviously wrong and should not be taken seriously. If you like to behave and talk like most men do then that’s cool, but it should be your own choice and not something your therapist tells you to do. I don’t think the way people call breasts is gendered that way but who knows.

I sometimes notice that I feel like I need to behave more ‘manly’ to convince others that I’m actually trans but rationally I think that that’s silly. I try to just accept the way I am because I don’t want to conform to this enforced gendered society.

They’re exercising their right to protest

Serbian protests had the support of most of the general population. The students faced a lot of state violence as well, but this only made their case stronger and caused more people to join. Protests like these for the most part are a numbers game. The more people join in the safer it is. The US population has been pacified and I see the only way to improve conditions is to agitate and depacify.

So you’re right that the condition in the US are different and that a different approach might be needed, but sitting by and doing nothing will for sure not help. I’m really tired of people on lemmy throwing their hands in the air while less fortunate people are being harmed by your government’s actions. It pains me to see how little people actually care if it turns out they need to actually make sacrifices to change anything.

Are you trans? Or do you just accept your government abusing trans people because ‘people voted for it’. Stop acting like voting is all you can do to protect minority groups.
