Hey Trans comrades, got a question about questioning. If it's inappropriate to do this here, lmk asap and I'll delete. Don't wanna intrude in an undesirable way but pretty sure I'm not breaking any rules.
So I've said before that I feel no strong attachment to my gender, but I live daily as a masc-presenting cis-man and am not bothered by it. But the Q-label is always something I've questioned whether I can apply it permanently to myself. Seems like I'm constantly questioning, for years, what kind of gender would really apply to me because just "average Man" doesn't seem like me, but nothing really does either (not even agender). But I'm confortable enough with myself that I think I will never do anything except continue enjoying the questioning itself and learning from that questioning about myself and others. But I comfortably just go with cis-man and feel intrusive in queer spaces as anything but an Ally.
So the final question, is Questioning dialectical and possibly permanent for 1 person or is it dialectical as in it will have to be subsumed in something else during a person's lifetime (assuming you get the chance to complete such a thing)? Any comrades that have experience here want to pitch in? Ready to learn :denguin:

This is the exact way I felt, and I identify as agender. But after I realized I'm a gender I stopped seeing myself as masc-presenting and just started to see myself as me.
Questioning or unsure or "man I guess, idk" are perfectly valid identities. If the word agender doesn't seem to fit you, then you don't need to label yourself as such. Honestly, there is no need to find a permanent label for yourself at all, but if you find one that you are comfortable with, then go for it.
Thank you for reaching out and asking btw!
On one hand, wearing a tank top makes me feel more femme. On the other hand, it reveals arm hair. On the third hand, women have body hair. On the fourth hand, my arm hair is too dark even after it's been shaved recently.
CW: Reddit-tier bit.
On the fifth hand, where are all these hands coming from!
I decided to spend about 30 minutes reading Homestuck tonight, using the unofficial collection. It has now been several hours and I am 500 pages in. If I had read this in 2009 I would have absolutely become obsessed with it (I saw the sheet music in one of the frames...), wth. Instead I was obsessed with Homestar Runner lol
not sure if I should spoiler. What should I even write as spoiler? Weird... existential moment?
I've had these weird moments where I have some existential moment where I go "wait all of this is real, this is reality" and my perspective...shifts? Into 3D. Its quite a surreal moment. What's your surreal/existential moments?
So excited to do a couple of spooky roleplaying with people!

Already have a couple Tuesdays lined up for some Delta Green / SCP-style scares with mostly trans hexbears
Hot take, its okay to have secrets, or to not tell people things, or not interact with people you don't want to. Obviously I'm not advocating for with-holding information that harms people.
Everything else aside I cant stop thinking about this current wave of discourse about how people are entitled to know everything about you just cause youre dating, and (*comparing it) to the you have to reveal your trans status thing
sorry I'm venting, obviously I'm not even mentioning the misogyny, which ew
