- Do you have favourite outfits/clothes IRL that you wear which make you feel more confident about your gender identity?
I feel most confident about my gender identity when I'm wearing a Victorian vest and jacket. It may be because it's easier to hide the curves of my body that way, or it may be because that style makes me look/feel a little taller, but either way, any time I dress like a gentleman, I feel like a true gentleman.

- Are you a cat or a dog person, bit of both or something else? Have you noticed that a lot of e.g. transguys on youtube have cats? Or is it just a part of cats taking over the internet in general?
mrgreen I like both dogs and cats, although I prefer small pets to large pets. My ideal pet is a rabbit, actually; I've always seemed to get along with them in a way that doesn't really happen for me with dogs and cats. As for the vlogsmen loving cats... LOL I don't really know. It may be because cats are an easy and relatively affordable pet to keep (compared to dogs, mice, rabbits, etc.), or it may be the viral properties of anything that meows. XD

- This might be a bit odd question and I hope it doesn't make people uncomfortable, but do you have a opinion/view on the topic of person "detransitioning"? (Like MtF going to FtM for example.)
I actually worried about this myself when I was just beginning to realize who I was. I still do, sometimes. This fear isn't uncommon and happens all the time to people undergoing other physically-altering procedures like haircuts, cosmetic surgery, and tattoos. Permanence is a scary thing, and that fear, I think, is one of the reasons why it takes so bloody long to transition from one sex to the other, at least in the United States. I hear that it takes, what, one or two years of consistent, documented gender dysphoria to earn a therapist's note for HRT?
I've also read about children who are born intersex, have their gender chosen by their parents, and then "de-transition" because they didn't get a chance to choose for themselves. It's definitely a topic worthy of discussion.
If transpeople feel the need to de-transition, they should probably consider suing their therapist for all the money they'll need. I'm all for people finding out who they are, and sometimes, the road is more confusing and painful for one person than another.
