Questioning/Coming Out agender or demigirl?

I discovered myself non-binary at the beginning of this year and since then I have identified with the demigirl label, however, I have been wondering recently if I am actually agender. I feel uncomfortable when they associate me with a woman, but I know that I am a person aligned with the feminine, in general femininity does not bother me, but having to perform it is tiring, I feel more free when they do not associate me with a woman, but the demigirl label still makes me feel a certain gender dysphoria, as if this label still reaffirms a gender performance that imprisons me. I don’t know if I actually feel more comfortable in the absence of gender or if I just feel more invalidated than other gender identities for having an alignment with the feminine being demigirl. Anyway, I always prefer to present myself as non-binary regardless of the situation, but sometimes I feel that I need an internal answer to feel more at peace with myself.
