What exactly am I anyway? I'm biologically female, but gender wise I don't really consider myself to be either man or woman. For as long as I can remember, I've hated being referred to as a woman. I also hate it when people assume I should dress/act like a "woman" just because I'm biologically female. That doesn't mean I want to be referred to as a man though! If anything, I'd rather just be Ash. I don't even use my "real" name anymore as I feel it's too "feminine" for me. What does this make me then? I mean I actually told my mum that I don't consider myself as a woman or a man... She just gave me a weird look haha. I mean I don't expect anyone to understand, as this is a personal thing. But I would like to know if there's a word or whatever for how I'm feeling. It might make me feel slightly better and less confused.
I'm in the exact same boat! I've never felt that the 'female' label fits me well but I don't identify as male either (although I'm still in a questioning period where I'm really not sure 100% what I am or what to call myself). There are a LOT of labels for genders outside the m/f binary. Genderqueer or simply non-binary are my two favourites, but there are loads of others, too. Its easy to look them up. Its a matter of just finding something you're comfortable with. There are loads of gender-neutral pronouns out there, too, so you don't have to be referred to as 'he' or 'she' if you don't want.
I understand a bit, because I feel like something other than a man or a woman too. you're definitely not weird.
Believe it or not, gender pronouns don't bother me that much! I mean when do people ever use them when talking directly to someone anyway? Although I do wish my family would call me Ash instead of my real name sometimes.
