TW: internalized transphobia, gender dysphoria.

Girly.

Paani stared at himself in the mirror.

"You shouldn't feel like a girl!" He told himself on the verge of tears "You don't want to be seen as weird do you?!" He shouted as salty tears and eyeliner ran down his face.

"What you your dad think?! What would he say?!" Paani sobbed angrily.

What is my problem?! What is wrong with me?! He questioned, as he sat on the floor why do I feel this way?! He questioned again.

He was confused. He sometimes he liked being referred to as "he" but also "she" and "they". Or something he wished someone would just refer to him as just "they", just "he" or just "she". It was like his gender was constantly changing.

Like one day he'd be this very masculine guy, but then the next he'd want to wear some pretty feminine dress with all the ruffles and frills and pretty makeup, but then one day he'd just. Want to dress androgynously.

What is this. Who am I?

Paani then remembered something.

He'd heard of the term "Genderfluid" somewhere.

"Wait... maybe that's what I am?" Paani wondered, then making a quick google search.

"Genderfluid is a which refers to a that varies, or changes over time."

Something clicked.

Paani was at a loss for words.

Finally! Finally! I got my answer! Paani started crying, but this wasn't a cry of sadness or frustration this time. Happiness.

It's okay to feel this way! It doesn't matter what anyone thinks! All that matters is that you're happy! He reminded himself.

You can feel like a girl. You can feel this way.

Paani got off the floor she wiped away her tears, soon a slight smile formed on her face.
