I Need Some Opinions And Experiences That Are Not My Own. I've Been Thinking About Gender A Lot Lately
I need some opinions and experiences that are not my own. I've been thinking about gender a lot lately and how I feel about how I present (For context I am a cisgender woman) and experience being a woman.
I have no fucking clue what that means.
I obviously have heard trans folk talk about how they just "felt like a girl" and I've always respected that 100% but it only just now occurred to me that I'm not sure if I've ever "felt like a girl". I'm not saying I feel like a boy, honestly I'm not sure I've ever felt like an anything!
I was born a girl, raised as a girl, and have always checked "female" on medical forms but it only just now occurs to me that I've never looked past the surface of this. I am a girl cause a couple people told me I was and I was cool with that but I wonder if I would feel the same if people had told me I was a boy.
I don't really know what this means or how to further look into this but I think getting other people's stories and experiences will be a good first step. Anyway if you read this please comment and help me figure out my gender fuckery that's currently ping ponging around my head.

I wish with all my little gay heart that leigh bardugo had pulled a "they suddenly have powers" on us with Matthias cause I would have loved for him to be a tidemaker and for it to explain his connection with his god as well as see his complete and total shut down over finding out this information after nearly getting shot.
Bonus scene; Kaz learning this and telling Matthias "well, you finally have a trick I dont helvar, congratulations"
Alright, feel free to tell me I'm dumb for thinking this or not but it really looks like Emily has horns because of the shadows behind her and I'm wondering if this is on purpose or just a little accident that's lead me on a false trail
Someone tell me why the fuck i just saw an ad on hulu for this fucking trash heap of an app??????
My favorite part of seeing the bobs burgers movie in theaters was the collective audible disgust when the teeth fell into Louise's mouth! I love the human experience of everyone feeling the same gut churning disgust in a fun delightful way!
Being seen can make you rageful
Being seen can make you feel loved
Being seen can be about exploitation
Being seen can be about understanding but not intruding
Being seen can be both the most wonderful and most horrifying thing to ever happen to you, and it all depends on who sees you
Nope has caused a physical shift somewhere deep in my soul and I am not ok

Sooo on my annual re-read of six of crows I noticed something interesting about all the nicknames jesper gives wylan. In most cases it wasn't actually jesper who came up with the nickname or the teasing remark, it was Kaz.
Merchling is the most common of them but wylan was first called that by Kaz on page 130, "marketable skills" was what Kaz called wylans memory of the ice court on page 122, hidden dephs came a little after that, etc.
The thing I find most interesting is that when Kaz says these things they're seen for what they are, barbs at wylan, but each time jesper picks them up they take on this soft teasing vibe like a little kid with his first crush.
Jesper regularly tried to embrace kaz's brand of cruelty and harshness but each time he fell just a little short of actually being insulting because no matter how hard he tried in the beginning of the books he couldn't ever bring himself to embrace that way of treating people, especially wylan.
Sorry for the long post, this was just something I noticed and wanted to share!
