Uuuugggghhhh. Yesss. I managed to not infer into an argument with coworker once who was like āI just donāt get trans peopleā after some prodding they couldnāt understand feeling like another gender.
Damn right! Youāre blissfully cis! I have to live with the reality that everything is wrong and itās not like things are objectively wrong, other than my gender. What a difficult feeling to wrestle with

Stop no it hurts
Sprinkling in the compulsory heterosexuality that gets shoved at you ever harder around age 10-12 was its own special hell
And actual panic attacks at having to get gendered clothing items related to adolescence
Still get PTSD flashbacks sometimes.

After I gained awareness, it took me another 10 yrs to start hrt due to a mix of factors. Don't be like me. Don't put it off, it does more psychic damage to yourself than you'd think.

I was 20 whole ass years old before it conceptually clicked for me that gender and sex are independent. Like yeah, I heard they were different things, but actually understanding the difference was something else entirely. And if being rudely awakened to the concept of "sexual dimorphism" was biting into the sour fruit of awareness, awakening to the fragility of that divide and the flexibility of the wider world was like biting into the ambrosia of "shit gets better"
