Does anyone ever just feel like an opposite-gender persona?

I’m akari, but sometimes i feel like presenting as oliver, specifically as my online persona. I’m a woman but sometimes i wanna present to people as male on a different account.

Genderfluid is a thing, so is crossdressing

I’m probably one of those two, thanks

I don't know if this contributes to the conversation as it's almost the polar opposite, but I don't really feel attached to my body or gender at all. I am myself, that is all. I only care about my body in so much as it is the vehicle through which I am able to do the things I enjoy. If I could snap my fingers and swap my gender I would, but that is only because within where I exist many of the things I'd like to do or have would be easier as the opposite gender.

How I look, the space I inhabit, what others may think, doesn't really change anything for me. I am me.

Not quite. I have a separate account for Mark, but he’s an alter rather than a persona.

What is akari? I'm too lazy to look it up and that is not the point in social media in the first place.

Gender fluid probably. Or. Ok hear me out as I didn't realize this for most of my life. It could possibly be d.i.d. asy gender changes based on who's fronting and I thought I was gender fluid yet I "know" what gender but only sometimes. It confused me for decades

Same for me, OSDD here with one known alter, at least one main one
