So, lately I've been thinking about my gender a lot. I haven't told anyone I've been thinking I might not be cis, that I might actually be something more like agender or demiboy; I don't think I've completely accepted it myself. I didn't really say anything because I was scared of looking stupid, or saying something wrong. I kind of felt like I didn't really have any right to be here; like I'm just a confused cis person who can't realize it, but that's not really the point of this post. I just I'm just trying to say I've been wanting to post something like this for a while, I've just been too scared to, for some reason. I guess I'm just a little more comfortable with it now that I can do it anonymously.
For most of my life, I kind of just assumed I was a girl, because I was born female. At the same time, I was never very feminine, and would sometimes be intentionally uninterested in things just because they were seen as feminine(not that I was ever really interested in them in the first place). I've never had gender dysphoria. I'm uncomfortable with terms like 'girl' or 'woman', but for some reason, not 'female'. 'Boy' and 'man' feel less weird, but still weird. I'm not bothered by she/her pronouns, but for some reason, it makes me slightly happy when someone refers to me as he, and slightly disappointed when someone corrects them. I don't really think I'd want to use he/him pronouns all the time either, though. I'd prefer to either switch them up or use gender-neutral pronouns, but I'm fine with any pronouns, really. Most of my friends tend to be male (I don't get along with women as well, most of the time). I prefer to go by a less gendered nickname- my birth name is too feminine for me.
I know you can't really figure it out for me, but what do you think? And how do I really know what gender I am- I don't think I've ever felt that much like a girl or boy.
