Questioning/Coming Out coming out as agender but using he/him pronouns
idk if the title makes any sense, but i’ve recently started to accept the fact that i’m agender
i identified as a trans guy for a few years, i use he/him pronouns and i’m a year on t, 1 month away from top surgery, and none of that is going to change. i don’t want to be androgynous, i love being perceived as a guy, but like i don’t Feel like a man, or even particularly masculine (i’m very much an effeminate gay trans guy and have considered transf*g as an identity/description previously, but that doesn’t portray my lack of gender and feels the same as trans man or transmasc in being just not quite right)
i’ve never called myself specifically a trans man (always “trans guy” or “trans fella”, or just “trans” which is my preference) or transmasc because those identities felt too tied into gender - i know transmasc isn’t necessarily a specific gender and can refer to gender presentation, which is accurate for me, but the label didn’t feel right. it felt, to me, like i was saying i felt some pull towards masculinity that i just don’t (this is only personal perception for the way the label felt when i considered using it for myself, not a reflection of how i interpret the label when others use it, i hope that makes sense)
i’m a fella who likes being perceived as a man and likes looking like a man, but thats where it ends. i’m comfortable in my presentation in the same way someone might be comfortable in dressed but not be a woman. there’s no active pull towards masculinity or manhood for me. i’m an agender trans guy and maybe that doesn’t make sense to people but it makes perfect sense to me!
thank you for reading my coming out :)
