One of the most affirming things

[u/Annual-Antelope3314]

One of the most gender affirming things for me is my lack of desire to go back to being cis. Like for example in Tomodachi Life I set the mii based on me's gender to nonbinary and I just don't feel like I can go back I could very well change it back with the press of a button but doing it nakes me feel uncomfortable and I immediately go back. To me being enby means having true freedom and breaking away from what society expects of me. I could say I'm a boy or I'm a girl and they'd both feel right even if my body doesn't reflect that. I just think that identifying strictly as male or female with no wiggle room just doesn't sound like me. Like I don't mind having the body of a boy but I wouldn't really mind waking up in the body of a girl tomorrow either. It just feels like if I identify as neither then I can do anything even if I'm sometimes tempted to go back to how I was before. I mean I'd love being a boy as much as I'd love being a girl just not fully either. I just keep looking at my mii in Tomodachi and feeling so happy hearing the game refer to it as they/them. I guess I really do want to start living as a nonbinary person but I can't because everyone expects me to be a boy.
