submission from slisshh:
I’m submitting this out of curiosity.
When I look at myself in the mirror I see neither a man or a woman. I sometimes look at myself and wonder what gender I would assume I was if I saw myself as other people do.
It’s true that I sometimes crave more masculine features. And I like it when people assume I’m a guy, and feel sickly when people assume I’m a girl. But I don’t want to compromise myself or change the way I present myself just because it makes people assume things about me. I want to be comfortable with myself, but it tears at me when people misgender me because of stereotypes.
So anyway, I’m writing this because I’m curious about how people view me and what I look like. What kind of features do I have? Do I look feminine or masculine?
I guess what I’m asking is basically whether I look like a boy or a girl, which is something that shouldn’t be asked really. But I’ll let it slip this time, because it’s about me and I’m curious.
If anyone replies, don’t worry; I won’t get offended if you say you think I look feminine. I mean, I asked, and I appreciate honesty.
I’m just gonna go ahead and submit this despite my hesitation.
