Ended my whole girl arc

[Bakartridge]

Dunno if this is the proper channel to post about stuff like this but I stopped calling myself a girl and using female pronouns, went back to fully identifying as a male. I made a post about this on my blogs where I went more in-depth, but I started calling myself a girl back in August, but started to feel like calling myself that was wrong once 2026 started, and REALLY felt like that last month, when someone used she when referring to me I was like "she???", so sorta gave it some thought before I switched back last week, though in general I also just generally felt like changing things up a bit.

Congrats on finding yourself and being even more sure of your identity! I love when cis people who aren't sure give it a go, try out the pronouns and everything and learn more about themselves (that they aren't trans). Anyone gives you trouble just remember that you did something a lot of cis people are afraid of even thinking about, and you're better for it :3

This is coming from a trans woman who just hit 5 years since starting hormones: congrats bro! I'm happy for you

As an androgynous to feminine guy who prefers to be referred to by feminine pronouns and qualifiers, I want to tell you : congratulations on finding who you truly are. It's really a hard thing to do, and I can attest that it can take years to find your true self. Good job.

And congrats to you too for hitting 5 years after taking this important decision

Gender and identity are tough to figure out. I can tell ya as someone who has been out as Transfemme ish for over 10 years now, its ok to doubt, explore, and be wrong. More people need to be less worried about getting it wrong. If we all look at things as "this is how I feel now" instead of "this is how Ive always been" there will be soo much less pressure.

Aaaanyway, ramble aside, gratz on figuring yourself out! Being you is important! Always strive for it!

I'm glad you explored that aspect of yourself a bit even if it didn't end up sticking.

from a trans guy, congrats! years ago i had a short arc where i went back to being cis, just to see how it felt, and i have no doubt it made me even stronger in my identity today. the same goes for any kind of exploration, cis or trans or anything in between! gender exploration can be an awkward and arduous journey but the euphoria when you find something that feels truly you makes it all worth it :-)
