  • I’m not the best at answering these kinds of questions but I’ll try to give my perspective

    I sometimes feel pressured into choosing who I am and using labels, when inherently I know labels will never perfectly describe the complexities of being human. But because everything in the Western world seems to demand conformity into such restrictive labels, I honestly just am left feeling like I’m not truly being myself.

    (An example is on paperwork for many things still demanding binary gender markers when my ID labels me as non-binary)

    Maybe I am gender fluid, but I think I’m scared to admit to it because it’s such a change from my previous Perception of self before hormones?

    Summed up, I feel there’s pressure to pick a box and stay in a box, but I really don’t feel like any box really fits me
