Not much to explain haha. I've been questioning my gender for a few months and I've been thinking I might be both a woman and a non binary person. Is anyone else here like that? What is your experience like?
Hi! I've been questioning my gender for a few months and feel kinda stuck, so I thought I'd ask for external advice/opinion/insights here :) I'll try to keep this short...try being the key word here.
Anyway, so I'm afab, and a few years ago when I learned about the concept of non binary genders I immediately felt interested in it, like it made sense to me and I could see myself in that. I questioned my gender for a couple of weeks, but finally discarded it thinking that I was just making shit up to feel special.
Fast forward to present, i'm questioning again. The thing is, I don't really have dysphoria, I've had body dysmorphia from a very young age, but nowadays I do like having a female body. So, no gender dysphoria (when im questioning there are days when I do want to hide my chest, but I think I'm probably just making that up). But, I have been experimenting and I feel like I identify with a female identity as much as with a non-binary one. She/her pronouns feel right, but so do they/them, and I love when people use them for me. I don't want to be a man, but I LOVE crossdressing and painting a beard and moustache on, I love when I play being a man/ boy. I've started wearing men's boxers and don't wanna wear panties anymore lol.
I've always had issues with my femininity, always wanted to be "not like the other girls", but I think in my case that was internalised misoginy, and I felt very unconfortable with my female features being perceived by others as a teen, but again, I think that happens to many girl teens cause we don't want to be sexualized (i'm acespec too, so there's that).
Sooooo I think I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe I'm just genderqueer? Whenever I think that I may just be a cis woman It only lasts for a couple of days until I feel that that's just not completely right...idk man.
Yeah so, keeping it short didn't work. Kudos if you reached the end, I guess haha. And many thanks in advance!

Sooooo I think I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe I'm just a genderqueer woman (as in, yeah I guess I identify as a woman -though im not so sure-, but I have a queer relationship with gender as well?). But I would like to have some outside insights as well.
