I am not really sure where else to put this, so here it goes. I am a binary transgender man. I do not use the term non-binary in any capacity, I dislike it, and I dislike being put in a not-man/neutral box. But I am genderqueer. I am a genderqueer binary transgender man.
It is something I struggle to explain and am reluctant to tell others, as they tend to put me in that box I do not like. Your box about being genderqueer and not needing to use the term nonbinary felt. Good. It felt nice to read. I still do not believe I am capable of being open about it, no, but I feel like your little ask box here is somewhere I can admit it. To myself, mostly. Thank you.
i wanted to thank you for sharing this genuinely!
i feel like there are a lot of others who feel the same way! i use the tern nonbinary because i have to in some spaces, genderqueer is lumped under the nonbinary umbrella a lot, and some folks just don't know the term genderqueer. i don't think its right to force people into a box they dont necessarily fit in just because of a similar identity. if they want to adopt it, great, if they don't, also great
take care, thank you so much for sharing your experience! i wish you all the luck in your journey. take care!
