That's what you were born as and raised as. But it doesn't feel like it fits. "Masculinity is scary to me. I never had it. I never fit in with the boys. They teased me and I never clicked with them. Plus a lot of stuff recently has me hating men. They do so many awful things." You think to yourself "[[But is that part of who I am?|Boy 2]] " [[CHOOSE AGAIN|Start 3]]Some days you feel that "yeah I've always had a closeness to girls. A lot of the people I'm friends with identify that way. I've also always had an affinity for stereotypicallly feminine things. Never good at them though. I could never be one though. I don't look right. I'd never feel right. [[I'd never be pretty enough|Girl 2]] " [[CHOOSE AGAIN|Start 3]]Being raised male you picked up the mannerisms and the expectations. Well not all of them. You were never good at sports. But the ones that are really bad stuck with you. You 'chased' girls. You became really creepy. You thirsted for attention and 'love'. [[That was a mistake|Boy 3]] You open your favourite game, y'know the game with the monsters You pop it in and you are filled with early 2000's nostalgia [[You go to create your character, but....|Start 2]] You think it would be too late to start now. You don't know how to put on make up or how to do your hair properly. Plus clothes would be expensive. So would be getting anything You think: "[[I could never be good enough|Girl 3]]" You was so overtly masculine that it may have hurt people. It definitely hurt yourself. But you changed. you learnt. you grew. "That's not all of me." You never needed to fit in with the boys [[You could be who you wanted to be|Boy 4]]But does that really matter? They think I'm pretty. Others do too. Even so, my outward appearance is not my identity. [[I am my identity|Girl 4]]It comforts you knowing that. You could be more. In fact you could touch into your femininity and bring it out You could be a girl That would offer you all you wanted. Yet you think: "[[That still may not be enough|Androgynous]]" But I do admit that I would miss some masculinity if I became a girl. There are some things I do like about my strong jaw-line and build. I do look pretty handsome [[Maybe there is another way?|Androgynous]][[That question pops up|Start 3]] It hits you. "I'm not limited to one or the other There is nothing wrong with that" [[And indeed there is not|Androgynous 2]][[You realize in fact|Androgynous 5]]This is not only it. [[You are not limited to one or both|Androgynous 6]][[There is more|Androgynous 7]][[You are neither yet almost both|Androgynous 8]]And to think This all started with a game about catching monsters didn't it?
