Idk how common this is among trans people, especially nonbinary ones, but... More than transitioning from a gender to another, I feel like I've transitioned from cis to queer. I switched from cisnormative masculinity and femininity, to queer ones.

I feel more comfortable now wearing masculinity like a butch or a faggot. Displaying the feminity of a dyke or a femboy. They feel more genuine, fun, flexible. I can play with them, mix them up.

That's what my trans journey ended up giving me. And I love it.

i am a woman at war with herself, torn forever between my love of detective fiction and my hatred of cops and cop media
