i would say if you're not cis you're trans, but it ultimately comes down to what you feel comfortable identifying as. i'm nonbinary and i also identify as trans because that label feels comfortable to me and i identify with a lot of the same issues as trans people, but if you don't want to be trans don't be. it's up to you
I’ve been flipping between a trans man and agender. I have a perferred name but I don’t mind close family calling me my dead one. Same with pronouns. I’m fluid based on who I’m around. I don’t see myself completely as either and have my own terms when it comes to what feels like masculinity and femininity. I can say “I’m a man” and “I’m a woman” and feel and mean both but not at the same time. “I am.” Feels the most complete. I just am. A man when needed or wanted. A woman when needed or wanted.
that's awesome! i have similar feelings surrounding gender which is why i ultimately settled on the nonbinary label, but that label is still a lot more complex for me than just "not a man or woman." is having a label to identify with important to you? because i honestly would argue that if finding a label has been too stressful, just identifying as you is plenty. but i definitely understand the need to have a label to identify with as well
It’s not really important to me, but I realize it’s important to my social persona if that makes sense. People seek identity from me and when I respond back with a lack of or in a way they can not understand, it changes how I’m viewed. Especially with my parents who still very heavily cling to an identity trans or not
