  • As others have said: Yes, this is absolutely normal. It’s totally healthy to introspect and investigate yourself—which is probably how your egg cracked in the first place.

    Rather than worry about labels and whether you’re “worthy” of them, just focus on the specifics of your transition. What things bring you euphoria? What things don’t? Follow that and no matter where you end up on the gender spectrum, it will feel right to you. You don’t need to find the right box to fit in, you can make your own.



  • Well, in this case, OP is wearing a skirt, so leaving your legs open while sitting means also exposing your underwear to whomever is sitting in front of you. Obviously it matters less if you’re wearing pants.

    As far as gendered body language, it usually comes down to how you cross your legs. Depending on what you have between those legs, certain crossing positions can… squish things.

    Since women are more likely to not have anything to squish and more likely to wear a skirt, they are conditioned to cross their legs more often. Men are more likely to not need to care about these things and are free to “man-spread”. This creates the gendered body language stereotype.
