I've been struggling for years with an issue that has bothered me and that I do not have a word for. For some reason, I feel as though I am not "female" enough to be considered a woman, and I don't know why. I always feel so ugly and like I'm somehow deficient as a woman, so I've been going through a roller coaster trying to discover what it truly means to be a woman.
Is being a woman all about being as feminine as possible? Is it about embracing myself without makeup and not shaving my legs? This is the battle I've been fighting for a long while now, and it's been such a rough journey.
I think I'm getting better with embracing that being an authentic female is just being myself since I have XX chromosomes and, therefore, already qualify to be considered a female... but I've still got some difficult days where I feel like some kind of a fake. I don't know. I just wish I had a name for whatever this is.
Thanks for listening to me rant.
