Non-binary, no intention of full-time

Would love to hear people's thoughts on coming out, especially if you are non-binary identified or do not intend to live full-time as whatever gender. How do you deal with people challenging your identity because you are not male/female/whatever 100% of the time?

I currently identify as genderqueer. I am somewhere on the FTM spectrum, though I have no intention of going full-time as a man (at least not in my workplace or with a lot of my family). Seriously considering top surgery, and testosterone is also looking more and more promising the more I think about this.

I don't know if I should tell my family. I hate having to explain myself and wish people could just accept things as they are instead of trying to reason them away. I think if I don't have any "solid reasons" for feeling the way I do, I won't be taken seriously. I didn't even start questioning my gender identity until earlier this year so they might think it's just a phase, especially since I had a very girly stage for a couple years.

You should check out the androgyn section.
Thats where the gender queer types tend to congregate.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
