sometimes being trans is about “sex” (as in physical characteristics) more than it is about gender (as in an internal sense of self). my dysphoria is totally physical and only social in that i am distressed bc i’m not seen/treated the way i should be according to how i should be physically, if that makes sense. i don’t know how i feel gender-wise, but i know my body isn’t how it should be. it’s okay to be like this, and it’s okay to have your transness be about your mind and how you feel too.
