So, I'm AMAB, and ever since I was little, I've always felt disconnected from "manly" or "masculine" things. I've always felt disgusted when people would always want me to get stuff "for boys" whenever we would go shopping/etc. ,or when I would want something and someone else would point out that it was "for girls", regardless of whether they said it negatively or not. I've always been more attracted to feminine things, like make up, dresses/skirts, nail polish, and fashion in general. I've really been questioning my gender identity recently, and I can't figure out what I am. I'm definitely more feminine leaning, but I don't totally hate being seen with some masculine aspects in the way I act and dress, and I'm not so sure I would be comfortable with people using She/Her pronouns to define me (although I've never came out to anyone and I've only been called a He/Him). Was wondering what exactly this all means for me and I've discovered some gender identities that MIGHT be what I am (TransFem, Non-binary, demi-girl), but I'm not so sure. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hii! I'm a demigirl, and trying to change my name! I want something neutral but fem-leaning. I like a variety of different names, things like Willow work, Cory, a lot of things. I just don't want anything too like, exotic? I dunno, just nothing too extreme, like Starlight, lolz. Thank you!

I never felt fully a girl. But also never understood it. I discovered demi girl years ago and felt like it was fitting but many identify with "she/them" pronouns and I had always assumed to be a demigirl, you needed to use she/them pronouns. So for years, i just assumed i wasn't a demigirl. Recently I was thinking back to demigirl, and did what I most likely should've done way when I first discovered it, can I be a demigirl while still using she/her pronouns. And to find out, yes, gender doesn't always equal pronouns was so great. And yesterday I finally came out to my parents and wife about it, and they fully support me. honestly I'm just so insanely happy

I was thinking I'd like to come out to some of my friends. I came out to my best friends a few months ago, and the outcome was really positive. I think I'd know how to explain my identity to them, since I already did it when coming out to my best friends, but I am kinda nervous and I don't want to fumble it. So, to my outted demigirls, do you have any advice you could give to me?

this is my first post like this so I hope I do it right 😅 so I’ve been questioning mu gender for a while. Im a cisgender female irl but online i like to go by she/they or Demi-girl bc being a “women” doesn’t sound fully right, but neither does full non-binary. It’s also confusing bc my username on EVERYTHING is Artemis GIRL. I haven’t told my parents yet (I told them Im bi-ace but dont think Im ace anymore, more likely Demi-romantic). So idk what to do bc it never fees right when they refer to me as their daughter or a princess or anything like that…

hi im new to Reddit, sorry in advance for the long-ish post

from when i was about 10 ive imagined myself as a boy. typically when making senarios before falling asleep. this was never something i was necessarily conscious of tho. growing up i also went through a phase where i hated looking feminine, i would argue with my mom constantly about my distain for dresses and skirts and even wore a suit for prom. (much to her dismay) i always tell people that im on the asexual spectrum because of my adversion to sexual things, and the role id be expected to play in them,making me feel too "feminine" and would much prefer being in the "mans" position. these were also things i never thought about too much. i never thought about these things to much because i never really struggled with the consept of being a woman. i knew there were things about it that threw me off but other than that i had no issue with being called she/her and all that. another thing to note before i get to the point is that ive always had horrible self esteem. i always ridicule my looks and body, never feeling confident in myself.

so, recently as ive entered college and away from my homophobic and transphobic family ive been feeling free. i openly identify as bisexual, that knowledge was previously something that was reserved to my closest friends. now i frequent queer spaces and many of my new friends are queer and/or on the trans spectrum. the thing ive been keeping to myself tho, is my growing uncomfortability with my genitals. i started fantasizing about my body with a different anatomy in a very real way for the past 2 years. i started doing research to 1, see if im going crazy and 2, explore those options. thats when i learned what a packer was and even better, what a stp packer was and began dreaming of owning one. this morning a strong feeling of "i feel wrong with a vagina" happened and i ended up crafting a diy one out of pure desperation. i feel amazing. i havent been able to stay out of the mirror and even left my apartment to pick up some packages wearing it. the weird feelings and insecurity about my body kinda vanished. the packer maked me feel "correct".

the thing is, now im very confused. now that im older ive mostly embraced my femininity. started wearing proper bras, croptops, and even dresses (only on special occasion.) i generally look very femme, i wear my hair supper long, known for my flashy jewelry and such. but after my reflections today, and this amazing feeling i have with this packer, im questioning if i REALLY am a woman. i did some research and decided that i might be a a demi girl, or just non binary, or maybe im going through some psychosis. dispite this ive put a realistic looking stp packer in my shopping cart and am planning on maybe buying it when i get paid.

my question is, where do i go from here? should i keep wearing my diy packer for some time before investing on a real one? go all in? calm down? any advice would really help. thank you.

everyone calls me she/her pronouns, i've never actually asked anyone to use they/them pronouns but i wouldn't care if anyone did. whereas with he/him and other pronouns i know i don't want people to use those on me because they don't feel right for me. it's not like i want everyone to use they/them but i would be okay if anyone did

being a woman is too tied my identity to let go of that. im happy to be female, that doesnt need to change. but i do like the he/him pronouns as well as being called masculine labels like “handsome” or “guy” whateverr. it feels j as right as being called a woman. except i dont identity at all as a male. i have no desire to look like one or live as one. this is a stupid ass post but gender is too confusing gng.

*im trying to apear a tad more androgyous but still kinda femmine if yk what i means

Hello! I am a Demi girl basically I go by she/her they/them and I am a biological female but I keep on getting mistaken for a boy even though I am not. Please tell me how to avoid getting called a boy and I have my hair cut short and my voice is deeper how do I fix my voice?

So far I'm deciding between River, Sparrow, or Jay, but I'm not sure and would love to know any other suggested names ^^. I'm leaning towards nature/birds, but nothing too unique, like moss or fern (just my opinion).

I like how smoothly River flows with my name, but I feel it leans more towards male.

Jay is my online name; I'm not sure of any cons.

I feel like Sparrow matches my vibe, and it doesn't seem like someone would quickly assume a certain gender when hearing it.

Hi guys, sorry if my english is bad, it's my second language. I recently found myself as a demigirl (i was born a cis woman, however i really feel myself more on a genderless middle with connection and comfort to the feminine side), and i really needed some tips from more experienced people about how i could portray myself more androgynous. I find myself constantly wishing for more of the middle than my appearance now (though i am very happy with most of my corporal features), especially because as a black, tall girl, i tend to feel myself drifting way more to the masc than the actual genderless, most of the times.
