going through a “am i nonbinary or do i hate how society treats me as a woman and want to get away from that while also not feeling like a man” phase rn 💀 anyone else deal with this?

Anonymous 6w

I went through this and realized it was actually that I hated how men viewed me and I didn’t like the societal pressures of being a woman. I was actually just a lesbian and comp het caused me to have a difficult relationship with my gender

yes i dealt w this from like 13-21 and i realized there’s sooo much to being a proud GNC woman 🥸 like i love being a woman, i love telling people i’m a woman. they get surprised bc they expect me to be nonbinary, which might be my favorite part 😭😭

Oh definitely. From like 16-20 I was very confused and trying different labels, but I've come to accept that I am a woman. I embrace that we don't all have to be the stereotypical "delicate feminine" women that society wants us to be

This feeling is v common among queer women , hard to talk about without sounding like one of those weird detransitioners but, it’s a big part of what made me feel separated from womanhood and caused me to be very confused and identify as trans for a while. I don’t regret those years as they were essential to making me who I am but, I would’ve been a lot less confused if I wasn’t born into an oppressive patriarchal society

Oh honey that’s not what nonbinary is- for you to even phrase it like that, it’s not something they hesitate to go back and forth on they ARE non binary, it’s not a yes or a no

this is so real. im finally liking being a woman again but most of my life ive felt like neither because im not a man but being a woman is rough especially as a kid where we are always sexualized (extra weirded me out because i was a KID) and having all these stereotypes thrown at us. idk i gave up on labels a bit ago because it was stressing me out

Occasionally I do struggle with internalized misogyny but I try to remember it's not my gender that defines me, but rather I define who I am

i spent years of my life on-and-off identifying as nonbinary because the people around me were essentially degendering me for the way i present as a woman. combined w my hatred of the expectation for traditional womanhood, it led me to be confused and question my gender. op is asking a valid & relatable question lol

sweetheart this is a single yikyak post. many people change their labels throughout their lives and are unsure of themselves. i hope whoever reads this knows they dont have to be 100% sure of their identity their entire life for it to be valid! i simplified my experience so it would fit the word count lol
