    Hello again! Been awhile since I've posted on here.
    I've recently been questioning my gender. The thing is, I don't care what someone refers to me as, she/they/him are all fine. Overall, I just kinda feel like, "me". In some ways, I feel like I don't care about a label for my gender. But at the same time, I think I'd be more comfortable with one? I'm just not sure if I'm overthinking it, or if I just don't completely identify with female and maybe there is a different label I'd be more comfortable with.

    It sounds like maybe one of the nonbinary identities would fit you. I think you should look up agender maybe.

    Yes, I somewhat identify with agender and I also prefer a wide variety of pronouns as opposed to just 1. What's funny is, some agender people I find want to completely rid themselves of all gender, don't want to look masculine/feminine and only be referred to as they/them.... but I personally see it more as like... all gender is kind of just a costume to me. There are aspects of both/all genders that I appreciate a lot. Like, I identify with both masculine and feminine roles, but it's not because I see myself as both a man and a woman, but ultimately neither. I pack and bind, but I don't hate my genitalia, it just seems like a logical way to make my appearance more androgynous since it seems that most people automatically read my body / appearance as feminine since I was assigned female at birth; it's as though my default setting is more female to the rest of the world, so in order to counteract that, I have to masculinize it. I guess I see all gender as just an interesting and personal expression and I like to take advantage of my ability to change other's perception of me is all. I don't identify as being a girl, or really a boy, but if I had to choose one over the other I'd prefer to be called a boy and addressed as he/him, since most of my life I lived as the opposite, I see at as evening out I guess. I'm also nonbinary so there's room for these things to flow I think...
