Tbh its very hard/confusing to be a nonbinary/trans person with a penis because I am perceived to be a male presence despite identifying as non-male. This makes spaces very hard to navigate. I want to be a part of the women’s rights movement, but not as a male ally. I want to be a woman supporting other women, and i want to be in spaces made primarily for women, but because I have not/will not transition, I am damned to live on the precipice of every space.
And that is dysphoric, othering, and disheartening.
However, I completely understand that right now I cannot take up space in places made for women while looking the way I do. I do not want to make others feel unsafe, or intimidated. I just want to be a part of spaces that empower women, and to have my identity add to that ideal, instead of detract because of the perception of my existence.
