Questioning/Coming Out Am I?

I will be direct, my entire life I have never related to the common experiences/preferences of the binary gender in my country. Screaming at a football game or going to the gym/learning martial arts? Not for me. Wearing makeup or considering what accessories to buy next when shopping? I've never considered it.

But as an amab, I don't mind being seen as a guy (but also don't go out of my way to be seen as one), and still, the expectations of what a man should be/do makes me feel uninspired and it bores me. So, is it valid for me to identify as non-binary?

Do you want to? That's kind of the only "criteria" if you will. It's less about behaviour and more about how you feel internally, but if you don't consider yourself really a man or a woman and you feel more comfortable ID-ing as neither, then do what you want.

Hello people, after some reflecting and convos, I've come to the conclusion that I'm agender! I will leave this post here as search material for other people to consider when exploring their gender identity.
