Yep, bound my tits when I was in middle school. I HATED puberty. I now identify as agender (nonbinary) but my gender dysphoria isn’t really here anymore, so I use she/they pronouns. But yeah, I always feel like I’m cosplaying a woman when I wear stuff like dresses

I guess my big problem in life is figuring out if I’d rather be nonbinary, which feels more accurate to who I am, or be a woman, which is more acceptable to everyone but still just as targeted in this society. Either way I’m going to be a target and generally out of place

Identified as ftm for years post puberty because I thought if I wasn’t a girl I must be a boy, but I can’t fit in with men either so I’m just nonbinary now

Idk if it’s autism or just my personality or both but I’ve always gotten along with boys easier than girls, like the humor and hobbies just match better for me idk. It feels like I just don’t have what it takes to be a woman, if people want to call me that it just makes me uncomfortable because it feels like a lie to say I am one

I don’t call myself trans but I don’t call myself a woman, I wish I could just be a Person without any pressure from both men and women to act a certain way to be accepted

I also hate being called stuff like girlie and queen. It just feels wrong.

Facts. Growing up with mostly male friends, you get used to the typical daily misogyny. I kind of wonder if my aversion to being a woman is because I hate how we’re just treated as people to talk over or have sex with.

This fr. I feel like if I grew up in an equal world, I wouldn’t really have a problem with being a woman, besides the usual period complaints lol

Cosplaying is a GREAT way to put it On the rare occasion I try to dress more feminine or just mirror what I see other women my age wearing around campus, I feel like a fraud

Honestly this is where I’m at rn too I feel like an imposter to myself to say I’m a woman But I fear being seen as an imposter by others if I came out as nonbinary or just straight up not being respected in my identity
