So... I realized I was transgender when I realized how much I loved Kindred. I tried hard to identify with Wolf -- after all, I identify hard with wolf. But more and more I realized that I identified with Lamb, more than anything else.
I wanted to dress in a way that made me think of myself as Lamb.
I couldn't. I felt intense dysphoria. It was so painful.
I came to terms with things over time in my own way. Developed my own self perception.
I don't know who to credit for this picture. If anyone can help, I'd love to give proper credit for such wonderful work.
I came up with Ulfra to feel better about my body type. She was wolf, and had my body type. I liked that. I felt comfy like that. And... lots of people adored me for my personality, for my loving nature, more and more did, and that felt good for a time.
But at the same time, she's kind of just a mask. I love her dearly, and I'd love to meet Ulfra, but I can't say I'm truly her. I just aspire to be like her.
@Elizafox I identify as Otherkin, but I'm not sure what I truly am... sometimes I think I'm just a shapeshifter without a self, or... something. I don't know.
@Elizafox A part of me's wolf, I'm sure. I'm just not sure that's "me". I don't know.
@Ulfra_Wolfe *nods*
Identity can be fluid
@Ulfra_Wolfe I like it when people share stories like this.
It makes me feel less alone, and gives a perspective into the struggles of others.
