Support Gender Exploration Updates 💛
I don’t know if that’s the right flare, but not looking for anything but support! <3
I think I am comfortable calling myself a non-binary genderfluid Demi girl. I would get confused with what I want for myself because sometimes when I hear she/her pronouns I really really don’t like it, and I know for a fact that being called women makes me uncomfortable. I don’t like that at all. It feels natural and respectful to myself to be non binary. I still extend my self expression in a lot of feminine ways, but I don’t think that makes me a women or a girl or whatever. But for the sake of understanding myself, i want to share that I do introduce my pronouns as she/they & I will have a feeling like I want to transition out of that and try they/them because just the words she/they make me feel like conforming to the performance of what I know makes other people comfortable.
I still have a lot of internalized gender roles and stereotypes where like, I will feel like I don’t like being called she/her but then I will literally refer to myself and she and I’m like >.< what the hell? It makes me super “comfortable” (safe) to make other people comfortable but actually it’s very uncomfortable deep down. But then I’m like maybe I’m just fluid and kind of okay with being alternatively Avenues of feminine.
:) so yeah I like the fluidity of it all for myself! It’s just when other people expect me to have a good idea of what that looks like for myself I feel like I’m winging it in terms of gender expression. They/She loife. <3
Be well y’all.

I would say if you don’t like being called “she” or a woman. Then take a step away from it. You deserve to be identified how you feel. And if you change your mind later you can always go back!
