I don’t know if I want to identify as female anymore, I want to know what made you figure out that you were non binary

#1

I realized that I didn't really like [insert old pronouns] pronouns and started exploring different pronouns and genders. I have quite a lot of LGBTQIA people in my life so they were great help and support. I am still figuring myself out but I am much happier now. To the people still figuring out their gender: It can be confusing and it's okay to feel that. Don't feel like you need to understand you right away. and sometimes what you feel like one day is different from the next. But you aren't faking. You are discovering new things. You are an adventure. WHEEELLLLLPPP anyway! Thanks for listening to that way too long thing!

    Since around mid 2021 I’ve always felt like I was apart of the LGBT but I never knew what, I thought I was non-binary but I didn’t do enough research so I kinda put it on the back burner, well for a few months now I haven’t felt like a girl nor guy, I didn’t really know what I felt like. I’ve done a lot more research since 2021 and I’ve found that im Biromantic Asexual (non-binary asexual bisexual) and im way happier with myself :D they/them pronouns have made me feel way better about myself! Cheers pandas!

    It took a friend coming out as trans for me to really go into it. I’m gender fluid, and most of the time I’m neither of the binary genders, but every now and then I’m one of them for a while.

    My dad came out as non binary, and/or gender fluid around 15 years ago. They didn't really explain much about it, or give a name to it, just said they didn't identify as any gender anymore. I didn't really understand it. My dad prior to that, identified as female. From the time I was 5, I, knew this. It wasn't a secret, or an issue, it was just was, and I understood it. I no longer speak to them, due to unrelated reasons, (parents can suck regardless of any and all genders haha), but I've still wondered about it. Rather, if they were always non binary, and just thought they identified as female, or did their gender,... I'm not sure how to put this, I guess shifted? I didn't realize that, with some people, gender can change occasionally through out your life. Thank you for posting! 😁

    I grew up with feminine clothes but I had very invisible ish dimples so when I started elementary school I was always asked if I was a boy or a girl. I responded my birth gender for about the first few weeks but then one time someone asked me and I hesitated and then said I don’t know. I was questioning from that day on. I finally figured it out in 6th grade.

    Lol that's so much cleaner than how I figured it out. Looking back I realize that I've always been pretty clearly trans I just didn't know that trans was I thing I could be.

    Well I'm a demiboy so this isn't exactly my situation, but I thought I was a lesbian and then I was like 'huh actually she doesn't feel too great' so i tried she/they for a bit but I was like 'still not right', at one point I was using she/they/xe/it because I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I added he and that worked for a bit but then I was like 'wait one f*****g second' and now I use he/they. Overall it was really just that people using she/her for me felt like I was being slapped. Not only did it feel wrong, like I wasn't expecting it, but it also caused an amount of mental pain. It felt and still feels sort of twisted and horribly incorrect, a bit like I'm bring denied my own identity. I don't know how I didn't figure it out earlier tbh
