Here's one account of someone whose trans with "cis OCD" - https://letsqueerthingsup.com/2016/0...nder-identity/
I have not, and this made for a good read! And additionally just browsing through this blog helped connect some other unrelated pieces concerning my productivity, so uh, thanks for both of those.

Most of the time I'm fine but when I'm symptomatic with my OCD (like I am right now) it all becomes too much to handle.
Well I'm not sure I have OCD-- I mean, I don't feel safe individually gauging that-- but this is essentially what I was trying to get across, soooo~~, thanks for doing a better job than I could?
