I’ve been nonbinary for 5 years now and i’m scared to change it.
I’ve never been the feminine type of person, i hated being forced to wear dresses back in my childhood, hated my name, hated being labeled just because of whats between my pants. Everytime i wore skirts i’d cry to mirror that it’s not my trueself, i did everything to make people see dont want to be potraited as a woman. I changed my name, my pronouns, to the point where in highschool even my teachers would call me by my preffered name. It’s been fine like this past 4 years till 2025.
I met a guy and he changed my way of thinking about this. He’s a cis man, lots of abs, tall, handsome. We got together, been happy for a year now. Now we talked a lot about this, and he told me that he hates his gender, that he doesnt see himself as someone associated with gender rolls and all, but everything id label as nonbinarity happens in his mind. not outside of his appearance, but the way he thinks about himself and others and this type of stuff. he inspired me a lot to start liking my feminine side. And i want to try changing something not outside of me but keep it everything inside. Not abandoning nonbinarity, but reshaping it into something completely else. I want to try and go back to my original name, pronouns, and everything, but im so scared of being judged. where i live in 2020/2021 everyone because of tiktok was trans or gay only to turn into cis straight person a year later, and the idea of people thinking of me this way scares the shit out of me. I know my friends are really understanding and will support me no matter what, my boyfriend included, but i dont even know where to start. how to achieve femininity, how to reshape all of this into being a woman but keeping my nonbinarity private only to myself and my thoughts.
