I know I have not answered asks in a long time but given that I have a history of educating others on non-binary matters, I feel obligated to disclose this;
I no longer identify as non-binary. I am a transgender man.
This is something I've more recently learned about myself and I felt it necessary to say because while I love spreading positivity, I do not want to accidentally give the false image that my knowledge is coming from a non-binary person. While I have always been adamant that I am not the sole voice of all non-binary people, or even trans people - I felt it was necessary for everyone to know as knowing who you're getting your information from is important. Also, quite a lot of my answered asks are old. I was younger then. I may go through some of them to see if anything requires clarification or revision, as I am older and wiser, haha.
Honestly, I have identified as non-binary for nearly a decade, in many different labels under the umbrella ‐ but was so focused on fleeing from dysphoria that I never truly felt euphoria until I admitted to myself that I am a man. I had always felt neutral at best. However, I was called a man recently, and that hit my soul in such a way that I couldn't deny it any longer. In all my years of being trans, it was the first time I felt genuine gender euphoria, and I nearly cried. The only thing holding me back was feeling like I couldn't do it. Let me tell you, and myself, you can.
You're not wrong for changing, or for using a new label. The time I spent identifying as non-binary is important to me and valid. I will never say I was wrong for it. In fact, who knows - down the line, I may consider myself a masculine gender under the non-binary umbrella instead of a binary trans man. I will still not have been "wrong". Exploration is never wrong, only informative. Keep being adventurous, do not let your doubts hold you down from finding yourself like they did for me for so long.
Long story short; I am a gay trans man but I will continue to support all of you as my non-binary family. You are all so extremely loved and valid. I see no reason to stop spreading love for my non-binary siblings out there, I just wanted to inform.
Keep going. ♡
