I don’t really appreciate you publishing part of a message I sent you in private. Also, you’re misrepresenting my arguments and intentions. I shared my experience because your post implies that people like me don’t exist or matter. I never denied the harm it can cause if someone acts like they know more about someone’s identity than they do. Which is ironic because in your comment you’re implying you know more about my trans journey than I do.

I have several objections towards the way the egg directive is used and worded, maybe someday I’ll write them out completely.

Mostly has to do with the fact the harm it’s supposed to prevent can also be prevented by just following the human decency of not assuming you know someones identity better than they do. Plus the fact that the way the directive is brought up often scares trans people out of sharing when they relate with something. And then there’s the fact that in this cisnormative world everyone is constantly assumed to be cis which is never called out the same way as when someone assumes a person is trans.

If you want to hear it: you sound pretty trans to me! The real question you should ask yourself is if you’d like to change anything about your gender or presentation. Would you like to experiment with people using she/her pronouns? Would you like to get feminising hormones? Would you like to present feminine more often? Some of these are huge steps and others are easier. It’s difficult to know whether you’re a woman if you don’t have the experience to know what it entails. But it’s clear that you have a desire to present more feminine. I’d say just follow your instincts and experiment in any way you’d like. You might find yourself experimenting more and more until you realise that you are a woman. Or you realise that you love presenting feminine but rather call yourself non binary. Gender is a multidimensional noneuclidean spectrum :) You don’t need to check all boxes on some list to identify as trans. You don’t need bottom surgery to be a woman. Try to free yourself from the limitations and labels that you are so used to. It’s difficult but very liberating.
