I used to think that I was just coping because I don’t and won’t ever pass as a woman, but lately I’ve been entertaining the thought that maybe the reason why I’m so incredibly uncomfortable with all of this, cringe whenever I’m called she/her or whatever irl and so scared to come out is because I’m trying to force myself into a box that I just don’t belong in. Clearly being a man wasn’t a good fit for me, which is why all of this started in the first place, but why does it make me so uncomfortable to consider myself a woman even years into HRT?
