Is it normal to misgender yourself?
Is it normal to misgender yourself?
When I talk to myself, sometimes I call myself my dead name, or my gender I don't associate myself with. I am self-aware enough to know I've associated myself as male and [name] for thirty-seven years, but it annoys me I haven't made that connection in my brain somewhere that yes, I'm a girl, my name is Eshe. I feel it in my soul, so why is my brain being such an ass?

Yes, it took me maybe 6-12 months after I was out to stop doing it.
Still happens rarely, usually for phrases that are gendered that I'd not be using often.
