Waves of Issues... wow.
Wow. This stuff really does come in waves on Oasis, doesn't it? At the risk of being an issue copy-cat:
my gender is confusing me.
By this I mean, there are many, many times that I don't feel very feminine at all. I don't know what I am feeling, but... yeah. I've gotta name my character for the ensemble of our school musical, and my first instinct was a male name. I'm so confused, wow. And I really don't need another thing to be questioning. Dear fucking god.
In other news: I need to learn a British accent. And be absolutely fluent with it, because it's not a specific set of lines I have to learn British-ly, I'm ensemble so I'm going to be chatting up the audience before the show. And just GAH I fail so hard where accents are concerned. -.-
I start tech for my next show soon. It'll be nice.

gender identity
while i'm not an expert on this, i've found that with a lot of things, only time will tell. and, sometimes people find that they aren't one specific gender. they feel like they fall somewhere in between.
as for the name, how about something uni-sex? like jamie? or... ryann (well, that's a girl's name, but it sounds like ryan.)
break a leg!
Like I assume you mean you
Like I assume you mean you need to speak with received pronounciation?
Because there's about 50 billion accents on this stupid little island.
What's your character?
Anyway, I'm wary of this gender questioning trend. It just doesn't seem helpful for most people.
What does feminine even mean? What is feminine?
Question that before you question your whole identity. It might just be your assumptions you need to question.
Saying you don't indentify with what the culture says are feminine attributes or interests, is different to saying you are alienated from your own gender.
I think of myself in male terms all the time. My most recent affectations is that I try to copy cat the mannerisns of Noel Fielding (he's a commedian with a lovely face). Or I prance around declaring that I'm the king and my sister is a fool. Which isn't normal, but doesn't mean I'm not a woman... just a bit odd.
