    Staying closeted because you’re afraid that you’ll never be feminine enough doesn’t make you cis. Gender dysphoria does not go away on its own and will haunt you until you do something about it. Voice training is hard, but you’d be surprised by how much one’s voice can actually change.

        And that’s how you become a complacent enby.

        I kinda like my body but feel that I would’ve liked it more with different chromosomes but also that I’d like it less if I went for surgery. So what I’ve got is pretty much as good as it’s gonna get. Except for hair removal but I actually tried that and my follicles are built like tanks.

        As fun as having a fem voice to switch to sounds, voice training takes a lot of discipline and I certainly don’t have the drive to see it through. Mad props to those who do.

          If I could, I would start HRT, and only socially transition once (or if) people assume I’m a woman. But in my country that’s not an option
