    I don't know what you'd call me .... I'm DFAB and identify as a guy for the most part. I don't even really care about labels but I could see all of these fitting me....
    FTM-because being seen as a man ,being called a male name, having male pronouns be used etc. feel really good-but maybe it just feels better then the opposite which I've had all my life
    Genderfluid- I go back and forth on some things -like whether I want hormones,whether going in the ladies room feels okay, and what kind of clothes I want to wear
    Genderqueer- I do definetly wear girly clothes sometimes and a lot of the time I say I'm 75% male 25% female
    transmasculine- becuase I often say I'm "sort of FTM but not quite"
    anyway I would love to hear your opinions.....

    I like genderqueer as a term, in general, because like the root 'queer', it seems like that little cubby hole is much bigger than some others. Not that it is a catch-all, but it is more all-encompassing. And to me, you could be 2, 3, or heck all 4 of those words at one time. They are all kind of like this huge Venn diagram, and some intersect for some people, but not others. And any/all of those could be under the transgender umbrella, so really it's whatever you wanna be.

    I think transmasculine sounds about right (to me; obviously I don't actually know how you personally feel)
    25% female 75% male does sound like either genderqueer or transmasc
