I realized I don’t really care how people refer to me, it feels a bit weird if it’s not a he/she/they, I feel the same way for all of them like they can refer to me, does that mean I fall under the gender spectrum? or imply it? what other things could lead to me finding a label that describes me if I fall under the spectrum. I mean, I am still thinking about it, and I might be or might not be, but i am kind of lost so I just want to mainly focus on the fact I am comfertable with any pronouns to give me some basic understanding. So id like to hear your thoughts on using any/all pronouns and transness.

    Yeah, tbh, offline I don’t know anyone that does. It’s one of those things where non binary, gender fluid, and similar self labels function differently on a social level, so they get lumped as a separate grouping. I’ve seen/heard it explained that trans as a grouping leans so heavily into the binary via the distinct needs of medical transition that (despite there being overlap) it “feels” different.

    I end up following the conventions of people I know irl as the default because that’s where I use the terminology the most, so those speech patterns get etched in.

      NB people can identify as trans. Usually NB people who go through any type of medical transition identify as trans. It’s quite common.
