Oh! Okay! Well, my question was basically about whether there was a term for how I feel. Basically I feel like a binary trans guy ... Kind of? I feel like once I transition and deal with dysphoria and such, and get down to the core of it without wanting to change my body I would be agender? So, I feel like the best way to describe my gender is a trans guy who after transitioning will probably identify as agender. Is there a word for this? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense.

Hmmm, I don’t think I remember anything about this specifically.

I can suggest identifying as an agender boy, nonbinary boy, libramasculine, bxy and so on

I can also suggest labels such as:

Cocoongender: “A gender that has not come out yet, a gender that has yet to emerge in its full form.”

Chelogender: “From the scientific word for turtle (chelonii). A gender that is protected by another gender that acts as its shell. the shell could possibly come up in social situations or situations where one is uncomfortable.”

Pregender: “A feeling that one’s gender is growing into, but not quite yet at, a particular gender. A preboy, for example, may feel that their gender is transitioning towards, but has not yet reached, male.”

Causticgender: “An acidic gender that gradually dissolves other genders until it is the only gender, or only fully intact gender remaining.”

Vectorgender: “When your gender is in the direction of something, but not actually that something, ie. a vectorgirl would be someone with a gender pointed in or traveling in the direction of girlness, but who is not actually a girl.”

Vestigender: “A gender that blankets another, stronger, gender. It’s the only visible gender, but underneath there is much more of the blanketed gender than there is of the blanket gender.”

Quizgender: "Where many different genders sound like they could fit you, but it's difficult to make up your mind; in relation to when you're taking a quiz, and you think one of the answers is correct, but then another one also looks correct, and you just have trouble deciding.”

I really don’t know, though. Choose whatever makes you comfortable. There is also no problem in just identifying as a boy for now and change your label to agender only when you are sure it will be the case, or in identifying as agender because you feel like that’s what you truly are. Remember you can be agender, transmasculine, want to be read as male and/or want a body that’s seen as male, all at the same time.

Maybe this thread (cw: mild cissexism and exorsexism) could also help?

hey. ive been questioning my gender for a long time, and im pretty sure im nonbinary, but now everytime i think about gender (like, actually start questioning it) i have mild panick attacks and idk what to do? because not knowing my gender makes me anxious (i guess im one of those people that likes labels) but thinking about it makes me anxious. i have no idea what to do... sorry for bothering.

hey! theres actually a gender that describes this exactly! even if you want a term that describes your actual gender specifically, hopefully this will at least be a band-ad fix? followers?

kynigender: when you feel like you’re figuring out your gender, but then you get confused about it due to the anxiety/stress it causes you and have to start all over again

note: this gender is only for people with anxiety disorders

if you dont have an anxiety disorder (i mean it sounds like you do but) then theres also these:

novigender: a gender experience too hard to read/process/understand or too complex to pin down to one word 

obruogender: When one’s gender is swelling or overwhelming to one. Used when somebody is overwhelmed or overpowered by their gender identity, to an even uncomfortable or suffocating feeling.

iragender: when your gender is angering. another way to put it is that thinking about/figuring out your gender is emotionally exhausting and now you’re mad at your gender.

rosegender: a gender that is layered and thorny. trying to hold onto the gender and pick apart every layer only causes emotional pain and stress. you can also have subtypes, ie rosegirl: a gender that has origins in girlness but you can’t quite place in what way.

snakegender: when your gender slips away every time you try to reach for it to figure it out, and it’s always changing and it’s really scary to confront so you just try to avoid it

then there are these, which are just some elusive genders but dont specify any type of anxiety/emotional tie

apsconsugender: a gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you.

cocoongender: a gender that has not come out yet, a gender that has yet to emerge in its full form

ectogender: a gender that seems elusive, constantly out of your grasp, and impossible to pin down

existigender: a gender that only exists when you think about it, or is quiet until called to attention. alternatively, feeling genderless until a gender is consciously chosen.

staticgender: a gender that is literally like static on a tv; fuzzy + incomprehensible

hope this helps some
