so like presentation does not equal gender or whatevs, but like trying new stuff out can help you understand yourself and what you really want! trying new clothes or makeup, different pronouns. see what sticks. being trans/nb is a pretty wide range of experiences, and its ok if yrs don't match up to others
It feles like I'm faking it like I don't feel nonbinary enough
I don't think I've ever met a single non-binary or trans individual who didn't have impostor syndrome about themselves at some point in their life. If at any point you do not feel binary, you are completely valid to be nonbinary. We don't give out membership cards and we don't test to make sure you're 'nonbinary enough'.
like looking at some of yr other responses in this thread it seems like yr feeling dysphoric? like thats not something that cis people really do.
His am I being dysphoric? I believe you but how?
oh, elsewhere in this thread you said "Not a fan of my body it feels too manly". like thats just describing dysphoria. like gender dysphoria could be described as a sense of discomfort with how, for example, your body looks or is percieved or gendered by others.
So I really am nonbinary? This feeling started a few months after leaving the toxic masculinity cult
