    I've been trying to find the correct term for myself, and I've went through a few, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I know you don't necessarily need a label for yourself, but it's just relieving for me to know, and have something that fits.

    So, I guess I have mild top dysphoria at times, and wear a binder (sports bra) when I go out, dress masculinely (I know how you dress doesn't define gender). When I go out, people often mistake me for a guy (who don't know me). I don't care which pronouns people use (she/her, he/him; I don't like they/them).
    I guess the term that "fits best" would be genderfluid, even though I guess I'd go from 5-9 on the spectrum.
    I was also thinking Androgynous (mascandrogynous), though I think that's more presentation (how you dress/act).

    I guess the thing I'm confused about is if I can identify as genderfluid if I don't fluctuate more towards the female end, or if there's another term that fits a little better.

    Or would demigirl fit better?
    Or genderfluid demigirl? (or does that <- not make sense?)

    I'm genderfluid but go by transmasculine cause I am usually going between masculine andro, masculine agender, and other masculine genders.
    You can use any gender that fits you.

    I mostly see demigirl used by those that feel more connected to the female side but not completely.
    While demiboy is used by those who associate more with male but not fully.
