I think what it boils down to is: if you could instantly become a woman, would you?
I'm in a situation similar to yours. Getting laser (the beard's already gone though >:3), long hair, trying to present more androgynous, but otherwise male presenting at the moment... regrettably...
I consider myself trans because I'm actively trying to rectify that and if I was given the opportunity to magically switch, I would without even thinking about it.
I would say expertiment a bit and see if something clicks in you. If it doesn't, that's fine too. You may be gender non-confirming, which by what you described would be perfectly reasonable.
Or it could be that you're just not ready yet. I myself had to remove a ton of mental barriers to accept this part of me, but when I did, it felt extremely liberating and obvious. But trust me, I struggled a lot getting there, thinking it couldn't possibly be the case.
So experiment, really think about it, and see where you land. If you're not sure yet, repeat. You'll eventually find your sweetspot, and it'll be fine, whichever it is.
Feel free to ask if you have questions.
YOOOOO URE ALIVE :O
srry for the unrelated reply >v< but I remember when I made my account the name "Mia" was taken so I chose "TheCoolerMia" and set my display name to just "Mia" and saw that u went inactive like a little before I made my account and idk I just wanted to tell u of that funny coincidence x3
Heya! Nice to hear from you again :3
I think you're confusing me with @Mia. My handle is @shy_mia.
Ohhh for some reason I didnt see ur full handle x3
So you are telling me you are not all the same person? I thought y'all were one but different alts! No way... Can I become a Mia too?
