Hi everyone, Iām curious to know what the reasons or realizations you had when you became non binary.
I was afab, and growing up I have always kind of presented more masculine in my opinion, like I would shop in the boys section for clothes, I wanted to be a boy when I was a child, like seven years old.
As I get older, I realize more and more that this femininity I have now is kind of this mask that I put on because itās so normalized. I have four sisters, so part of getting older for me was being more like them.
Because children are often very impressionable, I thought that I would be considered older once I present more feminine, like them.
In this current state in my life, Iām kind of becoming my own person and realizing how much I donāt like the idea of being feminine or a girl in general.
I also didnāt know that itās not common to be jealous of guys for their gender and freedom.
I feel like I would prefer she/they pronouns because I donāt like when people call me a girl and despise when people call me a woman. Iām already part of the LGBTQ+ community, being lesbian, but since this is an area of my identity I have never explored or questioned my pronouns until recently, I almost feel like itās not valid in a way, but I would really appreciate other peoples opinions on this kind of ramble about my gender identity.
Feel more than free to leave a comment, I will definitely read it.
