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

I've been thinking about going on a somewhat similar arc for a little bit. Whenever I get asked my pronouns when making a new account I've always left it blank instead of what I usually go by so people can refer to me however they want online. I've kind of wondering what it'd be like to possibly go by something else. I've never tried this with any of my real life friends because it'd feel like way too big of a leap in that direction and it feels kind of weird and somewhat embarrassing to express that I've been thinking about this to them for some reason even though it absolutely shouldn't be. I've also simply never been refereed to since I don't exactly have people I consistently talk to online so maybe I'll never really know. Honestly It isn't really a big deal to end at the end of the day. It's more of a simple curiosity more than anything else and to be honest I'm not sure I've ever fully had on grasp on what gender really is but I think I get the gist more or less.

Anyways, congrats on making it to the end of your little journey and knowing for sure who you really are! It nice to be certain.

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.
