I also didn’t seriously consider myself as being nonbinary until TODAY. Before I was like “oh it’s cool when ppl ask me my pronouns” or “I like they used ‘they’ to refer to me” or I would tell ppl I didn’t care what they called me

Like noticing men are attracted to me makes me feel dysphoric and TOO womanly which is why I thought I couldn’t be attracted to men.

As a nonbinary person who uses all pronouns, I feel the same in so many ways. I hate when my partner only uses she/her pronouns for me and calls me his girlfriend. It makes me feel like he doesn’t really see me as nonbinary.

I don’t quite understand this but I want to. Does this apply to bi/pan men who are attracted to you? Do you feel like woman/nb people who are attracted to you are more likely to be bi/pan and thus have an easier time finding them attractive? Or are you not exactly sure and still feeling this revelation out?

I think I have an easier time being with people who are bi/pan in general bc the attraction isnt necessarily bc I look like a woman & they have an easier time adjusting their perspective of me. Also most bi/pan ppl tend to clock me as nb (even before I realized it applied to me) but str8 ppl don’t.

I’m also demi so that’s def a part of it as well lmao. I’m mostly just going with the flow though and still figuring it out. I don’t like to put too much pressure/labels on that type of stuff (gender/sexuality) anyways, but figuring this out ab myself has def opened my eyes to some things

I also think where I live, it’s a lot more easy to come across out bi/pan women/nb ppl than bi/pan men, which is probs due to a lot of biphobia where I live & the emphasis on masculinity (which is part of the reason I think I thought I couldn’t be attracted to men)
