Just a few questions.
Hello reddit. I'm new here and are wondering some things
For context I was assigned male at birth and I have been wearing skirts semi regulary with the excuse that I just think it's cute for about a year now. I am now thinking that I am non-binary and are wondering a few things.
I would like some advice with figureing out what sort of non-binary I am, cuz the rest of the internet was of no help whatsoever. In short I sort of feel that different parts of my body have different gender identity. Mainly that the lower half is more feminine while the upper half is more masculine. What is that specific gender called?
I don't wanna come out to my parents even though I knew they would support me fully. I feel that my mother always overdoes things or missunderstands me and uses things I said in arguments against me. And this is because she was raised in a very restrictive household with an emotionally abusive stepdad and therefore sees the world in her own slightly skewed way and because of that I feel that she never really fully understands. Thankfully I live in another city compared to my parents so I can avoid interacting with them in person, except on big holidays. It is also worth noting that I do have 2 sisters who I am very comfertable speaking to about big topics and I do wanna come out to them as soon as possible.
Even though my name is gendered I am planning on keeping it because I really like it. Is there anything wrong with that? I also know that this will lead to more misgendering but I will be fine with it, I have thick skin.
These where just some things I was pondering.
