You. Yes, you. You're valid.

Any other trans peeps get confused about the gender/sex thing? Like it makes complete sense that I'm a girl (gender) who is AMAB (sex). But if gender is just a social construct, then why is there dysphoria over my body parts that I can only fix with surgery? I think that means gender is an internal trait that we can't control, I don't think it's just constructed in society. Gender roles, gendered clothing, gendered behaviours, those are social constructs to me. But saying that gender itself is a social construct feels like it conflicts. I feel like I'm changing my sex to match my gender. The gender part is what feels immutable to me. Sorry if that makes no sense it's 5am and things are tricky in my brain.
