wanting to wear the same type of leggings that I saw girls around me wearing in middle school and high school before I had any experience buying my own clothes and wore whatever my parents gave me.

Pardon my ignorance but how exactly is wanting to wear thigh highs (gender) dysphoria?

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming it's not dysphoria exactly, it's just a desire. Which, if fulfilled, probably would bring euphoria.

Not op though, so whatever they say when they do say.

[–] FMC8456@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That makes much more sense.

I mean it's still a bit confusing because for me wanting to and wearing them wasn't ever a gender thing, I just thought they're comfy, though I guess many people aren't as Gender Non-conforming as I am, so I guess it kind of makes sense..? I don't know.

Absolutely

Not everything has to be about gender, especially if you unplug from it a little, you can start doing things just because they're nice :3

Enjoy yourself!
