I’m sure this gets asked here all the time. But how do I know if this is really who I am. Like my gf waxed my legs and I’ve been smiling from ear to ear all day. But the idea of transitioning socially scares the crap out of me.Idk any help is appreciated.

This is exactly how I feel, I can’t tell if I’m gender fluid or just regular trans and slipping in and out of denial

I guess I almost feel like I’m being silly or that I don’t want it enough.

i was in a similar situation, i haven't fully transitioned socially but through just experimenting and slowly transitioning i've accepted it ! i recommend trying hrt if there's any chance you want it

It is scary!! I hated hearing this before I transitioned but give it time! I remember how anxious I was about coming out and I spent a long time questioning but you will know what you are in time. For now, have fun with it. Gender is an art form and if something makes you feel good, do it. I’m transmasculine and started my journey with experimenting with clothes and masc makeup, just do what feels comfortable and you can figure the rest out later

I felt this way too for a long time. It’s hard to go from “I am cis” to “I am trans 100%”, there’s a lot of societal pressure and expectations you have to fight through in your mind to get there. Just keep experimenting with it, try out new things if they feel good to you. Maybe ask your gf to try using she/her pronouns with you and see how you feel about it.
