The gender I want to be is "Majestic Unicorn of unclear gender/sex, but decidedly statuesque in bearing"

You can see how it would be difficult for me to transition in any meaningful way

I've wondered this as a ciswoman who is hetero and far as I'm aware, neuro typical.

Growing up I had all kinds of identity questions and it's taken me a long time to both understand who I am and what I want for myself; to make peace with a few things about my personality etc.

I wonder if the struggles of trans/queer/ND people to find their identity delay those additional questions? Or are they layered on top as well?

No real point, just a musing I've had. Being a human is hard even when you're already ticking boxes that society says you should.

I spent 30 years thinking I was cishet (and suffering for it). When I finally realized that I'm trans, it was like a dam bursting; suddenly everything about my identity was in question. I've gone from "Maybe I'm a girl" to "I'm a trans demi ND plural therian" in three years and I don't think I'm done discovering things about myself yet.
