Lately people have been telling me gender identity is a thing you feel - that you can 'feel like a woman', for example. But I legit don't understand what that means. Does feeling like a woman mean you want to wear women's clothes? Or have a vagina? Or get sexually pursued?

Like what is it about womanhood that is the thing that people 'feel like', in such a concrete way that they know that's what it's like to feel like a woman? I'm a woman and I have no idea what it feels like (besides what I listed), so I'm extremely confused about this.

When I imagine passing as a boy for a day, I don't feel bad at all (besides incidental issues from that). When people online in games mistake my handle for being a boy's handle, I don't care. Sometimes I like it. Why would you be uncomfortable living as a girl?

Good question!☺️ I wouldn’t feel comfortable “gender expressing as a girl” because 1. that’s not my thing & 2. that expression doesn’t forward my existence. It may make me “feel good” but as far as ME feeling aligned as a balanced male my soul wouldn’t be at peace.
