I’m glad it’s helping, @

Strangely, this makes sense to me. We’re all unique, and we’re all a mixture of many things, which change and develop over time. I think it’s why I’m very much opposed to applying labels to people - they’re far too limiting. I think femininity in a man, for example, is a good thing. I don’t necessarily mean as in a man wanting to transition into a woman, but rather being in touch with their feminine side. I'm certain my brain is wired into femininity far more than masculinity, and I really like this aspect of me.

You’ve had a lot to cope with there, that must have been very frightening to experience. Perhaps this all gives you a different perspective on life, and maybe it’s making you focus on wanting to be the real you?

I’ve had people say similar things to me.
Elements of your posts have resonated with me, and I’ve shared some more personal thoughts with you, should you choose to read them, via a personal message to you.
