I can identify more with being autistic and severely mentally ill, than I can identify with being particularly masculine or feminine .

I am not sure what I identify as
When I was a teenager I drifted around the subcultures of the time
These days my identity is less certain
Don’t align with a particular type of music or film
I guess the alignment to mental health comes with some level of understanding for others in a given community
Not bothered about the whole masculinity and femininity
It’s just not something I have ever really focused on like a lot of people do these days
Just wasn’t a thing when I was growing up

I’d always been a “tomboy” as a kid, then realized i was transgendered when i found out that was a thing. I knew i was, tho, from about the age of 4. I am very masculine in my clothes and hairstyle and even tried transitioning a couple times but the testosterone made me psychotic. I identify as “they” but i don’t get offended if someone calls me “she”. I also identify as sza and BPD in the mental health community.

On tests I score more feminine than masculine, but I’m useless at the things that are regarded as men type things. Ditto women type things. There is no way I could’ve lived successfully as a woman in order to qualify for surgery. I didn’t have the practical ability to do so.Am I an outlier in that respect? The odd person out?
Happy birthday, @WhiteRaven !
