I just don't know what to do with the info that I'm trans. Do I go through surgery? I don't want to. I, err, like my body, so to speak; it has more to do with the fact that I don't like masculinity, I guess.

Sometimes it doesn't have to do anything with medically transitioning. It can also be unprogramming certain behaviors that you think are unhelpful, voice work, and presentation. Some people can also feel ok the way they are

I'm personally a very binary and a typical trans woman, so I'm not exactly the best on explaining enby experiences, but I can help if you need any info

Thank you!

Yes, I don't really want to transition right now.

I've just never felt like a typical "man."

I do tend to recommend people that are playing with their gender to try voice work. At minimum, its a cool party trick to make yourself sound androgynous, masc, or feminine. At best, it can make you feel a lot more comfortable and may make you better at singing. It also has low social impact (people can't see youre experimenting), you can just use it when you feel comfortable. Usually within a couple months of daily practice you can have some really noticeable gains.

Androgynous!

I think that describes me.

But yeah, thanks.
