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.

    Trans is an inclusive term. You are trans if you want to use that word to describe yourself.

    Speaking purely for myself, I didn’t feel comfortable calling myself trans until I started HRT. Its a thought process a lot of trans people have, thinking they need to be trans enough to be called trans, me included. Its a misconception that needs dispelling.

    When describing her design of the trans flag, Monica Helms said,

    “The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.”
