I suspect if I could have transitioned when I was young, I would have been much less confused about this.

That's what I think too.  Most of the time I just feel like a outsider who has landed on a foreign planet among total aliens.  I have wondered if I have some mild form of Aspergers or autism since some of that fits although not all.  I did read an article recently that stated that autism in some form and trans is often related in some undefined way.

I know for a fact that I have many of the traits of aspergers. Not enough to slow me down any. It was mentioned to me by our school psychologist that trans and autism have been demonstrated to show links in some cases. In my case I suspect there is. But hey, you can only be yourself

A great question and relative to my life it is important.  I wish that society as a whole would welcome people to fall on the spectrum where ever they want.  I definitely fall in the middle somewhere and drift back and forth and I'm okay with that.

Due to my being intersex I would have to say non binary even though leaning on the female side. Hugs

Hi.  I'm bran new here and still figuring things out.  Definitely in the non-binary category.  Always knew I was TV but only recently began to realize its more than that.  I think I've been too much of a coward to confront it. Gaining incredible peace looking at the world through a woman's eyes.

Hi, Claritee!

Definitely binary.

Female, binary.

I identify as meat popsicle.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go finish off the tattered remains of my manicure by changing the oil and drive belt on my lawn mower.

Personally I think people worry too much about the whole binary/nonbinary label thing.  Just be you.

Since it does not cross my mind I'm otherwise: male, binary.

I am binary male.

Never think about being female more than that I'm not. I felt like I was a drag queen in makup and dresses.

I always was a guy and still am.

It's not about being worried about it. Someone said they thought most transgender people were binary. I disagree so I'm collecting data. 

Hugs, Devlyn

I reckon I'm about 95% binary [emoji23]

I am enthusiastically non binary and love this thread so far.  On the one hand it has been terribly important to understand who, what and where I am.  On the other hand labels are so reductionist, insufficient and morphing constantly.  Just being true to ourselves feels best.  No act, artifice or stereotypes needed, there is drama enough.

I truly wish gender didn't matter so very much in our culture and that we had broader, inclusive definitions that respected the vast rainbow of perspectives.  We work on affecting this magic as we earn our fairy wings, wands up and fly.

At the beginning I thought I was nonbinary.  As I've grown and my transition has progressed I realize that I am far more binary than I ever originally thought.  Turns out you can't guess well at who you are if you've repressed it your whole life.  I am just me and that me is very girly.

while i'm aware that my body can never be binary, my brain still expects it to be male.  i don't see myself as female; all those parts of me feel like they are wrong, and no amount of being treated and forced to live as a female has changed that.  so binary male fits just fine, as i don't wish to be viewed as anything other than that, nor do i feel like intersex/nonbinary is what i was supposed to be.

I consider myself analog.

Me too. Autism appears in my family and my wife's and guess what? Two of my kids are certified autistic. Being on the outside looking in has its consequences.

I don't know.

I must go non binary. I am both female and male and lived both. But always found living in my female ways was much more peaceful so I stayed. It really was hard work to be a guy. I m lazy not going to work that hard. ⚥⚢
Peace
