      Random reup of "The Inner Sense of Gender" which I wrote a while ago, with a mini thread of some minor updates: https://www.drmaciver.com/2019/05/the-inner-sense-of-gender/ …

      A common response I got (mostly from strangers) is basically speculating that I was actually much more trans than I thought I was and expecting my feelings on the subject to change in that direction. I'm now pretty convinced this is not the case.

      Actually I'm going to stop the thread there. This needs longer and slightly more personal explanation than I want to put in a Twitter thread. Suffice it to say that I still think this is a good post and that I'm more rather than less confident of my conclusions in it now.

      The very short version is that for me personally (I don't propose this generalises, certainly not to trans people), the work described in https://twitter.com/DRMacIver/status/1161288126175895552 … gave me a better handle on my feelings around gender and masculinity.

      A thing that's been frustrating me recently BTW is that I would really like to tell people about this process, as I've been finding it extraordinarily helpful, but it's very hard to explain, and not at all clear what the core features of it were that would be useful to others. https://twitter.com/DRMacIver/status/1161002018187751424 …

      I hope you find a way to write about this at some appropriate time. I did what sounds like perhaps similar work when I was about the same age you are now. I hope to write about that someday, but it’s both subtle & hard to explain and highly personal, ergo difficult.

          Yeah I'm going to try to write more about it. I'm still mid processing a lot of this stuff, which makes it a great time to write about it.
