This s**t is honestly just getting to be way too MUCH
It very much can just be comfort in a label that came before their trans-hood. I spent a prolonged time personally struggling to come to terms with being non-binary while still being heavily attracted to men and masculine features.
I got very comfortable and attached to the label - even if parts of the community sucked, it was one I was part of. People who were like me, to some degree. Peope who liked what I like, to some degree. "Gay" felt like place, in a way. Dealt with a lot of inner turmoil and self-loathing while trying to approach to terms with gender identity versus my sexual attraction.
Eventually, unfortunately thanks to a terrible person, it finally clicked. They helped me come to terms as a transgender person, and helped me recognize that I d
What it means to be non-binary
Help spread queer trust and joy by supporting your non-binary community.
When we use the word transgender, we are referring to an inclusive umbrella term that consists of binary trans people (trans men and trans women), as well as non-binary people and people who cross dress.
Non-binary people feel their gender identity cannot be defined within the margins of gender binary. Instead, they understand their gender in a way that goes beyond simply identifying as either a dude or woman.
Language can be really powerful in helping to affirm your identity, feel confident and sharing your authentic self with others. In many cases, the labels that we give ourselves can help us connect with others who share the adj identity and integrate into a larger community. Within LGBT communities, language is incredibly diverse. Some examples of common terms relating to gender are trans, non-binary, intersex.
Gender is your internal sense of self, who you feel you are whether that’s male, female or perhaps you

LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Allies, Nonbinary/Genderqueer +) Resources and Research
"Some people have a gender which is neither male nor female and may identify as both male and female at one time, as different genders at different times, as no gender at all, or dispute the very idea of only two genders. The umbrella terms for such genders are 'genderqueer' or 'non-binary' genders. Such gender identities outside of the binary of female and male are increasingly being recognized in legal, medical and psychological systems and diagnostic classifications in line with the emerging presence and advocacy of these groups of people. Population-based studies exhibit a small percentage – but a sizable proportion in terms of adj numbers – of people who identify as non-binary."
