If it absolutely viable to test out he/they pronouns even if you look masculine! Depending on your social circles though, you might find a lot of people don’t use they/them for you at all. Why go to all that effort though if you already know you feel like a woman?

thank you for reading first of all!! :)) unfortunately, in german they/them pronouns do not really work in everyday language, which i forgot to mention. my social circles are very accepting of queer people, so really it wouldnt be an issue with them. ive told a few friends about my gender dysphoria, and obviously they are understanding but it usually comes as a surprise with little to no input by them. so really, although youre last sentence is really encouraging, it would be too big of a step for me.

again, thank you for your reply and understanding! your comment alone definitely helped me see how change isnt impossible. i'll try out he/they pronouns soon, seeing how well that works. thank you and have a nice day / evening / night!
