This makes sense to me and thank you for sharing such a personal story. I might be wording this badly, but it's just the people who say that wearing different clothes is what makes them gender-fluid that confuse me, but then I don't know their whole story and it's not my business.

...that's pretty much what you said before and I totally missed it and I'm sorry. I got so wrapped up in memories and feelings that I just...yeah, sorry.

It could be anything, really. It might be that they are struggling with gender identity and one way to cope or test things out is to be very overt about it. It could e that they're doing it to mask something else, reasoning that they'd rather be ridiculed for something that doesn't really apply to them than something that does. It could be they want to be a special snowflake. It could be that their cat Snowflake ran away from home. Ok, it probably isn't the cat, but what do I know?

I try not to judge but it's hard not to sometimes, especially if I get the special snowflake vibe from someone. I don't know why but I find it insulting and feel almost like it invalidates my personal struggle. I think, too, that I'm jealous of people who grew up or live in an environment where they are free to express something outside of what were societal norms when I was growing up.

I just try to remind myself that I don't know their whole story, as you say, and also that I can't feel what they're feeling. I don't know what their motivation is. Who they are right this second is not the only person they've ever been or ever will be, and that even if it is a special snowflake fad it's still a valid thing in their life at that moment.

I'm not always able to remember that stuff and sometimes I just want to throw something.

It's okay! I was worried about how I sounded in my original post and I still feel like I'm tripping all over myself. I do appreciate the perspective you've given me. And I'm glad I'm not alone with my frustrations. I think I understand why you would be frustrated/jealous of that.
