Another wonderful article and so thorough. This helped me identify that the exclusionary variables are the only thing holding me back. I have been looking for a local therapist and think I may have finally located one. I really want the first visit in person. I do not know where it will lead, but I know I need it. Thanks for doing what you do. It really is a big help!
Excellent work here…reminds me of the Cogiati test which had a number of multiple choice questions regarding spacial awareness, social preferences, and other assorted topics which had stereotypically male or female responses. If you answered the questions just the right way, the test would confirm that you were likely Trans, the truth being that simply going through the effort of answering the questions just the right way confirmed that you were likely Trans. But it was lovely to have the scorebot tell us as much just the same. Confirmation Kernels are a healthy part of a growing Trans diet, you know.
Thank you for writing such an extensive article! ❤️ Although I’ve considered myself trans for almost five years now, the results of the scenarios actually aided me in giving me more confidence in the transition I’m pursuing. I’ll definitely share this one with people who are questioning their gender and who want some help getting a clearer picture on this.
I've been questioning for a few months now, and reading this, i think my egg finally hatched. It had shown a few cracks, but now I'm very sure I'm trans. Thank you for making this, and I gotta go thank a redditor for indirectly getting me to go here

one thing I found quite interesting is that I was pretty terrified of the idea of being transported into a parallel universe where I'm practically a cis woman and kind of wanted to press that button pretty quickly, at least as an initial reaction, but then my heart sank when you said that this likely indicates I'm a cis man. Strengthens my belief that I'm likely genderfluid
Also, if I’m afab, and identify primarily and mostly as a woman, but like 99% instead of 100%, does that make me trans? Am I a trans woman then? I swear I am asking this in good faith, I just seriously don’t get it. I’m so confused because I don’t want to transition socially or medically, and I desperately want to be cis, but I just also don’t feel like I can call myself fully, totally, 100% a woman with total confidence. I feel like I’m too nonconforming to count.
In question 2 answers, you mentioned a mix of features associated with a different agab except for the genitals you already have. I’m wondering about the opposite: I want everything about me to be the same as my agab, EXCEPT I want different genitals. I also would press the button after a short/long time bc ultimately the degree of other changes wouldn’t be worth it, even if it would make downstairs better. Is there any support for this kind of thing?
I know its so sappy but when I went to the 'I hope I'm trans' button and saw the message I made the biggest smile I've made for a long time, and it comes back every time I look back at it.
I've saved both a photo of myself and of the screen to look back on and remember this moment. Thank you so much for doing what you do, this has made me feel amazing and really affirmed me. And thank you for commenting on someones reddit post that led me straight here!
This was extremely helpful, thank you so much! Especially as a person coming from science, the way you approached the problem gave me a good bunch of confidence to devote myself to the process. Well, I still have to figure out what I'm going to do with what I've got now, but that's another story.
Just a quick remark on scenario 2: If you follow through it as described (that is, as I interpreted it, there will only be one fairy, but one should go through the scenario for 3 different bodies), I think anyone picking the female body (in the AMAB case) would also pick the androgynous body, because it is still better than the current one. In that way, the interpretation gets messed up. Probably I just read it in the wrong way and it should be 3 fairies appearing in the given order. Anyway, since this could cause confusion for others, maybe this can be phrased in an unambiguous way. :)
Phenomenal articles, and from the kind of mind with enough psychology to make sense. I am stuck with my identity, not knowing whether it's a kink, a fetish, an obsession, purely sexual or genuine. So I must ask.... When you're talking about not being a 1:1 match with CIS, you must be trans, does that mean 100% match? Because I'm sure many many people go through questions and self discovery and may still have thoughts or gender doubt but find themselves comfortable in their CISness with no wants to transition. I find myself in a similar category where I want to be a woman, but feel comfortable and happy in my male body and persona. So why do I want to transition? It feels sexually obsessional.
What is wrong with me. I want to be trans, but I don't even know why, it feels like I want to do it just because it'll be finally something interesting in my life after a long time, or because it's "popular", or because I have such kink.
And when answering these questions it felt like I was holding myself back, like I was afraid I might not be trans. I don't have dysphoria, and when I imagine that I'm suddenly changing gender, it feels scary, meaning it's an incline towards cisgender. But I don't want to be just a cisgender.
How the hell is gender hard to figure out, how do you know what you want if you never trust yourself...
Not sure if this comment should be tagged as a "spoiler" or something. Feel free to remove it if so, but I clicked the top button. It made me cry, in the best way. Thank you! <3

My head is spinning. Heart is pounding. Hands cold and a bit aroused at the same time. WTF?

After reading this article, I feel like a dummy. But at least this dummy, has a better plan on writing his (?) term paper for university

Very helpful article. I have been struggling with the possibly of being a trans woman and this article gave me lots to think about.
You write very well and very clearly. I look forward to reading more of your insightful articles.
Thank you!
