The politics of my gender get so wild sometimes and I rlly can’t explain them to anyone who isn’t me living in my skin. As someone who identifies as gay (mlm) I know I’m transmasc and want to transition but I lived 20+ years being perceived and socialized as a woman
I can’t rdeny that & I don’t want to. Those years and struggles are important to me + I still feel feminine I don’t feel I need to eradicate that to be a “real guy” but I also know I’m not...a man. I think I try to fit into a binary box bc it’s easier for cis people to understand
But then it comes down to knowing if I let myself get used to he/him pronouns without feeling like every time someone says that their brain goes “well that’s wrong but I’ll appease them” I’d like it which is an anxiety thing more than anything lmfoa.
So if I transition and use male pronouns does my nb identity go away? Or is it bc in my head I know mainstream society won’t accept they/them pronouns or an existence outside the binary? Either way I’m trans AND Non-binary which I used to feel wasn’t allowed which is dumb
