Hello, today was International Women’s Day and I got some congratulations by some relatives. I have felt a small sting for some years now that I could have continued to ignore if it wasn’t because i had the misfortune of questioning my gender. I feel guilty because i have decided i am both nonbinary and a woman, being unable to decide on just one label (and ofc that made me toy with the term bigender bc it may apply to me after all) so it shouldn’t make me feel uneasy but it does. I feel like im not “woman enough” or “nonbinary enough” and like no one really understands me, since most nb experiences are so vastly different from my own. It’s weird to say im a woman, and it’s weird to say im not a woman. Since I don’t want to transition no one is going to see me as anything else than a woman so it shouldn’t really matter what i am and yet im here. I guess i need some support and validation rn 💕 hope y’all have a great day

You n me both anon!

Regardless of your transition goals (or lack thereof) you are both woman enough to celebrate woman-centered achievements and nonbinary enough to not want that to be the default assumption for you. It can be one helluva struggle to get people to see you as your gender(s), but we're here for you.

Something to think about regarding the nonbinary experiences you've seen talked about: Those nonbinary folks aren't necessarily going to be the ones who are "just" gender-adjacent or gender+, who still feel a connection to their AGAB like me and you. Every month I become more aware of experiences like our own and think about how many more of us might be out there, closeted or having never thought to question their gender

I hope you can find the best way for you to assert your identity.
