Acesneedspaces Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi! I'm afab and I'm mostly fine with that. However, i prefer an androgynous presentation most of the time: short hair, more neutral-looking clothes when possible, etc. My breasts also bother me when they're visible. I feel like i am female but i don't like being seen that way as much? I use female rooms because i feel more comfortable in there and it doesn't bother me. I use she/her pronouns but i might like to try they/them if there was a way to try them with no obligation or explanation. I've been reading definitions and i think demigirl could fit but I'm not entirely sure? Also, is it possible to feel dysphoria but not be trans*? Link to post Share on other sites
ReyGraves Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It is possible to be cis and be uncomfortable/dysphoric about your body. Keep in mind that presentation doesn’t equal identity. It’s possible that you’re cis with a neutral/androgynous presentation. But I’m also not saying you couldn’t be a demigirl either. http://www.pronouns.failedslacker.com/ Maybe this^ could help for the whole trying out pronouns thing. Maybe ask yourself why you don’t like “being seen that way”. Is it because you feel it’s because you’re not (fully) a girl. Or is it the sexualization/objectification of the female body that makes you uncomfortable? Link to post Share on other sites

That was very helpful; thank you. 17 hours ago, ReyGraves said: Maybe ask yourself why you don’t like “being seen that way”. Is it because you feel it’s because you’re not (fully) a girl. Or is it the sexualization/objectification of the female body that makes you uncomfortable? That's a really good question that i need to reflect on, because it seems like a little bit of both. I do feel uncomfortable for those reasons, and maybe a little bit like that doesn't fit because I'm ace and there's a little bit of not thinking i should be seen that way because of my (a)sexuality rather than my gender? However, i don't know if that reason covers everything for myself or if there's other things too. Link to post Share on other sites
arden_jay Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It's really something you should explore and see what you find comfortable. I experience some dysphoria, and I identify as non-binary, so it is not exclusive to being trans*. Take your time and discover an identity that feels right for you. Link to post Share on other sites
