Cause it would mean this might not be right for me? And the idea of that horrifies me so I know that's not true. But it still nibbles at the edges of my brain
Would it mean it's not right for you? If you had learned to skateboard and that made you happy, would you need a medical test to prove you were meant to be a skateboarder?
Ugh no, but I still feel like it's different, even if I can't articulate it properly
Transitioning is absolutely a different thing than skateboarding in some ways, but I think the differences that matter are different than the ones you're worried about. I pressed you with one of the questions I got caught on a few years ago when I was wrestling with things that sound similar to what you've been saying. Over time as I've worked through my thoughts about being trans, being a person, and being a trans person, the things like this that worried me most at the time feel more and more like they don't need to be part of how anybody lives their life. I'd enjoy talking about it more if you want to.
So is that where you are with it now? That it doesn't really matter what's "right" or "meant" for you as long as you're happy?
