Hey, we haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet, and I've really been itching to ask everyone this question so we can get updated numbers on our trans population here. This isn't going to be scientific or anything, but just a quick guess.

Please respond to this post with a 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'. If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

spoilerhi!

Maybe.

I've been mulling it over and I'm experimenting with peripherally fem stuff (longer, bigger hair, earrings, women's blouses/shirts, might fuck around with dresses this summer) but also I'm trying to increase my strength and muscle size and become a himbo and all of those things seem gender affirming and self affirming.

I'm aware that many of the above things aren't necessarily strongly gendered (women can build muscle, men can have long hair, etc etc). But it's been kinda freeing to make the jump to some women's cut garments.

I'm kinda scared to try makeup for some reason. I've worn stage make-up before and also eyeliner at times.

Haha yeah! Maybe I should take some self defense classes to be able to back that up. (knowing of course that the best thing is to escape to safety)

Nah if someone harasses you, their best option is to escape safely
