    There are a lot of internal question marks as we discover who we are. That discovery is always happening, but as you age the domain shifts. I have children and work, my identity changes as I learn more about my self. Earlier in my life I had other questions about sex and sexuality. But that domain isn’t as much of a part of my focus or attention now. Sounds like it is a part of your focus. I can tell you this, there is never an answer.

    Each question teaches us more about ourself. Each experiment teaches us and we decide how we want to respond. Don’t look into it too much. There isn’t an explanation that will satisfy you which is why you are cycling between these ideas. You are exploring them both because something in you wants to. That’s ok. So explore them both! don’t try to label yourself or find certainty. It doesn’t exist. Just ur comfort with ambiguity grows and letting go

    Try on the clothes, do things women and men like. Sometimes you learn your best talents from it and your sense of style. If you settle for what others like then you will end up not being happy with yourself. Don't fit to someone else's idea . Be your own trend setter. You'll be happier. Do it with grace and kindness though
