I've done some soul searching, and given this a lot of thought

I've identified as a man on here and in real life the last few years, even come out irl to friends and some family.

However, I have finally admitted to myself I'm genderfluid, or non-binary, because how I feel about my gender varies a lot.

It's not an easy desicion, but I've decided since I probably won't feel any more comfortable with male anatomy than female due to the changing perception of myself, I won't transition.

Also, because the world is still a bit phobic and judgemental:
It's easier for a female presenting person to dress/act masculine without drawing too much attention, than a male presenting person to dress/act female sometimes.

So from now on I will accept whichever pronoun you choose to use for me. (Altho I still prefer the male pronouns)

Haven't decided what to do with my legal name yet, but that's hardly ever used on this site anyway.

I know that decision didn't come easy for you, but I certainly respect it
That's a big decision, but I can see how that (also) fits you. 🫂

I have to admit that I don't get it. I know what I am, and I don't change my identity depending on how I feel.
And that it is a bit annoying having to learn a pronoun for every person I meet along the way. He, she , them, chair, airplane, whatever.

But I also understand that me not getting it automatically does not invalid your experience. I mean, homosexuality was once a mental illness.

So I'm going to go with whatever makes you happy and wish you luck in your journey.
@TheHammer I've never heard anyone requesting pronouns like chair or airplane, except for conservatives not understanding gender as a whole.
