    The title doesn't give all the information needed to understand this but essentially I've identified as a female my entire life but I have a gender fluid friend and it's started to make me question a bit. I don't think I fully identify as non-binary but from what little experiences I've had with it I like the pronouns they/them.

    Sorry that was longer than I thought.
    You're all amazing I hope your having a great day *hugs*.

    Heyo!
    I personally wouldn't bother with labeling myself if I were you. I fully understand the need for that, I looked for the right label for years, but that in itself never truly helped. If you want to experiment with pronouns, go for it! But try to experiment because you're genuinely curious, and try not to limit yourself by choosing a label, regardless of how detailed its description might be. And also, remember that gender presentation ≠ being a different gender. You can be masc if you wanted and still be a girl, etc - and that's perfectly fine. Gender nonconformity is wonderful

    Can i ask, what exactly made you start questioning yourself? Do you relate to your friend, have they said something specifically that piqued your interest?

    Hi thank you so much for this I kinda knew I should try to specifically label myself but reading it being directed to me helped.

    Along the lines of what made me ask it wasn't something in particular I've kinda been wondering for a while but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to ask about it (just communicating with people is kinda difficult for me) but the more I got used to being here I just thought that I would ask and see what happened.

    Also, I like your profile picture!
