So I guess #NonBinaryPeoplesDay was yesterday, but for the record, I do identify with that term.

It's mostly important in terms of how I understand myself, and I care less how my gender's perceived. That's why I haven't brought it up. But for visibility, I'll talk about it.
When you get down to my gender identity, it's accurate to say that I feel pretty unmale.

While I won't say I judged being male, I have an antipathy towards it which I first noticed in therapy. A male identity fits me poorly.
At the same time, while I have feminine qualities, I don't really feel a female identity suits me any better.

I don't feel a need to use different pronouns. I feel like who I am comes through pretty well, so I'm good sticking with what's familiar. It doesn't distress me.
Part of why I haven't mentioned this is because it feels like an internal thing? Like it's a technical spec of an emotive machine only I will ever operate.

But I'm always glad when people discuss their relationship with gender, so it seems appropriate for me to do the same.
