I've been kind of sad lately because I don't know if I can call myself anything right now. I've read so many different stories from other nb people, but nine of them match up with me and I'm worrying I might just want to call myself nonbinary because it sounds cool. A lot.of the stories included people seeing/ hearing about a nb person for the first time and having that realization, but that never happened for me, I've known about trans/nb labels at a basic level for a while đ 1/
And I never really thought deeply about that, I was in my own world. I don't really tesonate with my agav as much anymore, but I certainly don't resonate with the 'opposite' and I can't tell if I'm less uncomfortable with labels from my agab since that's what I'm used to or if that's just what I am. I didn't have many signs (there were some, but they were small and could be easily cis too) and I worry I'm just projecting this onto myself what do you think? đ 2/2
You don't have to know immediately if youâre trans/nonbinary. It's different for everyone. Realizing later in life or longer after learning about trans or nonbinary identities, doesn't effect whether or not someone is nonbinary or transgender. I (mod Zay) did not realize I was trans and nonbinary until I was almost an adult.
If one of the signs is not wanting surgery/hormones, this doesn't invalidate how you feel. MoreÂ
Some trans and nonbinary people have dysphoria and some people don't. Dysphoria can help some people find an identity but for others it makes it more confusing. If you can, look for euphoria in your life, too.Â

I know questioning gender is uncomfortable and it feels âweirdâ (at least to me) but, let yourself question. If you can, just let yourself think and use the resources but don't overwhelm yourself.
If you want to identify as trans or nonbinary and you don't have a âreasonâ, go for it. Experiment with your gender and you might find something that works better for you.Â
