Isn't that a good thing? You shouldn't feel comfortable casually dropping the hammer on a gun. You should be on alert and questioning whether or not you got all the bullets out before you released the hammer.

Welcome to the family, sweetie. Unfortunately I can't give you a whole lot more help atm, I'm unfortunately not in a place where I can actually transition myself. However, I wish you luck on your journey <3
Edit: oh yeah, btw, having a penis on estrogen is a use-it-or-lose-it kinda thing. You'll wanna make sure you're regularly stimulating it.
Sooooo... Mirror cells can't be latched onto by normal cells. Why would mirror cells be able to latch onto normal cells? This seems like fear mongering because, logically speaking, if A can't attach to B, then B can't attach to A. I suppose you could program mirror cells to attack normal cells via indirect means (creating toxins that kill normal cells), but it seems like they'd struggle to fulfill their purpose because the article makes it sound like their "diet" is also mirrored.
I used to think I'm a guy, I like many masculine things like motor sports, fixing cars, playing shooters. Things that typically boys like and I have no desire to wear girly clothes or anything like that.
Okay, first of all, girls can like stuff like that too, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Now, as to your question, possibly. I'm going to throw a bunch of questions at you, but don't jump to any conclusions until you get to the end of my comment.
How long have you been feeling this way?
Is it possible that it's the novelty and not the affirmation?
Are there any "girl" things you've always thought sounded like fun, but never tried (makeup, painting your nails, earrings, etc)? Why not?
Why do you think you're a woman?
Are you a woman? I mean you say your penis doesn't disgust you. Do you really want to be a woman?
Now: how did those questions make you feel? Did you feel guilty? Sad? Annoyed? Angry? Hurt? The intent of those questions was to see what your reaction would be to being doubted or questioned. Whatever you just felt, why did you feel it? Try to trace it back to its source.
It's okay if you didn't have any noticable reaction too. I'm just probing you in a way that'll hopefully help you figure this out. I can't tell you whether or not you're trans, that's your thing. Based on your experience with your friend, it sounds like you might be, but since this is a new thing for you, I don't want to push you in a direction you might regret later, you know?
I think my best advice I can give you is to give it some time and keep exploring. That, and find a therapist who specializes in this kinda stuff so they can help you work out these feelings as well.
Finally, see if you vibe with this: genderdysphoria.fyi/
Oh, and it's totally possible to have a girlcock (sorry for being an asshole earlier, I hope you understand what I was trying to do). Plenty of trans gals choose to keep theirs.
The car analogy is one of my favorite analogies to use when explaining trans stuff to people. It doesn't get too deep into the dysphoria part, but it helps explain the goals.
Honestly, that kinda sounds like the average American diner experience. Not bad, not good, just okay. Granted, a small hole-in-the-wall or independent diner that's been around forever will almost certainly be better; but when it comes to your average American diner (like IHOP, Denny's, etc) that sounds about right.
Normalize these kinds of interactions. A) it's funny, b) that shit seriously gets lodged in your brain sometimes for no fucking reason lmao.
One thing to note is that drag might be therian. The gist of it is that sometimes the brain glitches out and finds it easier to relate to other species of animals, real or not, than other humans. Therianthropy can even go as far as causing people to have phantom tails, ears, etc. No idea why, it just kinda happens.
It's one of those things that sounds weird and is hard to relate to or understand if you've never experienced it; so it gets a bad rap. That and there are ~~animal abusers~~ zoophiles who try to use it as a nicer way of saying, "I like ~~abusing animals~~ bestiality". It sucks.
That said, there's nothing wrong with being therian if you're being legit about it, imo it's just another form of neurodivergence. Though, I'm not sure if I totally agree with trying to force people to accept it by using "drag" pronouns, buuuuut I guess you could say the same about me wanting people to use she/her instead of he/him. If being referred to as "drag" makes drag happy, then w/e I guess.
Edit: imo, if you wanna screw with drag, just accept drag for who drag is. If drag is really looking for attention, then drag will get bored or annoyed. On the other hand, if drag actually needs that kind of affirmation, then you're doing a good thing for drag. You're honestly probably making drag feel amazing by using the correct pronouns.
I mean, a lot of furries are anti-capitalist but will still spend thousands of dollars at furcons. That said, in that specific case, the money is going back into the community and not to Apple.
FUCK you're right. That's exactly what it was.
Fuck, that car looks super familiar but I can't remember. I wanna guess it's some kind of Lotus Esprit, but that doesn't sound right.
Probably dead. On the other hand, it'd be easier to tell who I'm safe around.
