note that the first part of the sentence is in parenthesis because in Japanese it’s common to drop the subject of the sentence, even though that isn’t the case in English.
that said, if you want to be more specific (and if any of these happen to describe you), you could also say something like:
the above gender identities are relatively common among non-binary people in Japan. note that 中性 / chuusei can potentially translate into two different genders in English. i’d say it’s commonly used to mean androgyne within the non-binary community, but there’s also a strong association with gender neutrality because 中性的 / chuuseiteki is often used within society in general to mean unisex or gender neutral.
having said all that, just like when speaking English, the person you’re talking to may not be familiar with the above words. in that case, you might need or want to explain what being non-binary means for you.

We take our family(the otter, the bird, a small army of cats and dogs, + a few other animals bc we both have no self control when it comes to this) to disappointment island and we build a house there and live happily ever after. Everything is okay and we cuddle a lot.

the first thing out of his mouth is “if an anime draws an anime, is it an anime or a real?”

I’m concerned when people seem to be incapable of conceiving that a character can have a good heart while occasionally being a jerk, selfish, hypocritical, unfair, unreasonable, hurtful, etc etc because last I checked, that’s what real people were like
Hi! I couldn't help but notice that you were taking some gender based asks? So, do you have any good solutions for dysphoria? I'm not exactly... Able to transition.. I'm a transboy and I don't even have a binder, so... That may play into it? Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not good at this
It’s alright, Anon~! I’m not a trans masculine person, so I don’t have firsthand advice, however, I am friends with a lot of absolutely wonderful transgender guys, and I’m definitely happy to find you some resources suited to your situation!
There are safe ways of making a homemade binder, and if that will ease your dysphoria, I’d recommend it. And, you’ve probably heard this all before, but never use ace bandages to bind, don’t sleep in your binder, and be sure to take breaks from binding throughout the day! You’re not any less of a boy just because certain body parts are showing. A lot of guys, cis and trans, have breasts, and while I know people often misgender guys based on that, just remember – you are who you are, bound or not, and other people don’t know you better than you know yourself. They don’t get to dictate who you are, regardless of whether you can transition in some manner, or not.
Here’s a link to a good tutorial on how to bind if you cannot afford a binder (as well as a free binder-swap program):
