If I dressed as my assigned sex, otherwise know as ASAB (assigned sex at birth) I would be in a constant state of anxiety. More so than I already am. I dress in a way that makes me comfortable, and in a way that lets me settle and feel okay. Which I do now. My brain just doesn't match what I was given, in either way. If I dressed as people expected, I wouldn't be doing myself any favors. It would be for other cis-folk.

As for therapy; I really don't need it. I have spoken to it about my therapist and out of all the things wrong with me, this is a non-issue with how I see myself. Of course I have my bad days, but that is normal. Otherwise I barely give it a second thought. I am just me.
