No... she is part of you...

phases of doubt may come and go... just try to calm down.

Try to relax and do a few things you like...

And you could try to get used to her... in a calm way... just feeling it...

How much longer is this whole doubting thing its so painful even when i don't think about it i feel the effects of it.
  •  

Laura_7

Well by now you know what it is...
you can feel her...

its just thoughts that are doubtful, that interfere.
Just let them come and go and disregard them.

Could i be non-binary but identify strongly with the female pronouns?
Like demigirl almost?
But i know my long hair will be awesome and i like acting feminine i also would try to mimic how the girls would stand, walk and more
I still want a female body.
I may be genderfluid going from neutral to female back and forth that seems what happens to me.

Laura_7

Well important is if you want a female body...

you don't have to feel female all the time...

I'm enjoying my time as non binary but my biggest fear is going back to male
  •  

BBGurl24

I better not be going back to male please noooooooooooo
Keep me non-binary i like it here its comfy.
Little weird to have something new but its comfy.
I don't want to like the male pronouns and the male label.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i feel bad but i like my label right now Queer
Do i have a choice? I feel like someones trying to pull me to male and it hurts.

Oh honey... you really sound so much like me a few months ago... now I feel largely the same way, but I'm more okay with it, and less fluid.

This is something that I've thought about for over a year and a half.  I'm sure, and I'm starting to act.  I'm seeking HRT.  I'm making an electrolysis appointment tomorrow.  I want a more female body, I want to rid myself of the male pronouns and the male label.  I still have trouble making sentences with them/they, so I prefer female pronouns.  But I don't identify as a woman.  I feel like a tomboy.  I will never be submissive or passive.  My baritone voice seems impossible to change.  Feminizing my every gesture and motion seems unnatural to me, and a ludicrous amount of effort.  So, I'm likely to be pretty damned manly.  But sometimes I like to doll myself up a bit, and if it makes boys squirm, all the better.

What you want is valid.  What you're subconsciously drawn to is valid.  You're a person.  Treat yourself like one!  Like it or not, first order of business is always "what gender?" So you need to learn to accept your own gender, before you can even tell what it is.  If you're like me, you don't have a "choice" inasmuch as you are what you are.  But you can find choices to make, and those will empower you.  You can choose your presentation day to day, or for contexts (work, hiking, shopping, some bars, other bars).  Or you can just choose one and stick with it.  I've been rocking a boy above / girl below the belt thing for a little while.  I kinda like it.  It's summer, so that's meant just a skirt and flip-flops a couple of times.

Nonbinary folk are pioneers, every single one of us.  We're not falling into one of the same two holes that 99.9% of humanity is stuck in.  Pioneering is scary, hard work.  Sometimes, the nonbinary, or the woman in you, will get scared off, or tired of the fight, or tired of the effort, and go into hiding for a while... or maybe the man steps up to protect the woman.  But eventually, she will get bored in that tiny closet, "oh, look at this dress I found in there!", or see the pain the man is in, and shelter him away for a while.  That's how my fluidity seems to work, anyway.

Wowza i enjoy being non-binary
It's comfy
It Feels Right
I don't ever want it to leave me
I can pick a preferred pronoun at a preferred time.
I mostly go with her or they
I enjoy life as a non-binary
I feel like i was always non-binary just leaning towards female.
I also feel like im bigender and genderfluid and i believe that the genders change from time to time.
I can't pick male or female so i would like more options.
Please i never wan't this to leave me EVER
If i have a choice i will never go back to the binary like male. I would go to female but never male never.
Im afraid of the male label.

Is it possible for my non binary to ever leave I hope not and I will never accept being male I enjoy being different I enjoy being female and neutral. But I doubt that this it's real probably just a fad and that makes me sad
Btw I'm terrified that I may be identifying as male help!?

Read through your whole last posting...

Wowza i enjoy being non-binary ....

there you can feel it again, and it will stay with you...

there might be phases where other parts might be a bit more pronounced but this is like a foundation, it will always come back.

Just try to relax and it will even out eventually.

Laura_7

Well... you could try not to resist too much... just letting go...
its like thoughts of doubt... just let them go and try to relax...

BBGurl24

I know what will happen i will float to male and then never come back to my favs like neither or female.
  •

Yeah, I've drifted back to male, and had a few very painful periods where I just wished that my gender experience had been constant, shame for having told friends, etc.  Thankfully, I haven't had an episode like that for a couple of months.

No... let your doubts just go... like a cloud passing by...
just try to calm down, and you will feel again what you like...

and you don't have to feel female or neutral all the time... its ok if you feel a bit more active for example sometimes...
you will come back to your core feelings...
its like a wave, you will come back.

First time I have been free in two days and I will be tied up until the 17th. Something to understand is you have been feeling these feelings for only 3 months. You haven't hand much time to learn about them and figure out what they mean to you. Yes, you are not a CIS male, but what you are may take more time to figure out. The queer and non-binary side of the picture is something that is new to me. We didn't have it when I was in therapy. We know what you are not but you have to decide what you are. You don't have to have a decision right now, so don't feel pressured to make a decision. When you know enough about yourself, you will be able to make a decision. It may have taken me as much as a year to decide I was transsexual so it may take you a bit longer.

In computer programming, we have a way of finding the problem in the code called divide and conquer. What this means is you divide the problem into two halves and then you find out which half had the problem. You then divide that half into two parts and repeat.

For you it works something like this.
Do you want to be a CIS male or something else. The way I am seeing you is you don't want to be a CIS male.

Do you want to surgically alter your gender like me? This one we don't have a clear answer on yet and you need to answer it for us but take your time deciding.

I don't care how you answer the questions as long as you are happy with the answer.

If I have time, I will try to check again tomorrow nigh but I will not be posting for 4 days after that.

No Cis person writes things like that...
