I mean I am AFAB and I do identify as a girl but also I don’t feel entirely binary. I guess I wasn’t assigned Nonbinary at birth but it still feels weird to say I’m trans when I’m AFAB and present and act like and call myself a girl. I don’t know, help me out here people.

    That makes sense, it still feels weird to say like if I said I was trans or trans-nonbinary people would think I’m transfem and maybe think I’m apropriating when they learn I’m AFAB.

      I’m technically bi, but I don’t lead with that because it’d probably give people the impression that my attraction is balanced between genders. Totally fair to not lead with “trans” if you don’t want to deal with that.

        That makes sense probably should lead with saying I’m AFAB and Nonbinary, then say I’m trans so no one gets the wrong idea. People thinking I’m appropriating probably isn’t a real issue, it’s probably just something my autistic brain made up because I overthink things way too much and also am afraid of pissing people off.
