Well, I& #39;ve been delaying this for reasons which I will address, but I guess it& #39;s time I explain the changes I did to my bio and profile picture, specially to whom I own clarifications about some technicalities regarding what these changes entail. So, let& #39;s go already.

A couple of the reasons I didn& #39;t want to make this post too soon were that talking in-depth about yourself personally and in public (1) makes you very vulnerable and susceptible to harassment by unwanted peers, (2) is kind of unwarranted for, begging a response in [...]

[...] the ballpark of "and who asked?", and (3) comes off as self-centered and even pretentious. I& #39;ve put aside those concerns when writing this thread, because ultimately it will be more useful and enlightening to me and my friends than otherwise, and that& #39;s enough.

Well, it has been awhile since, after some self-reflection, it clicked: I was, for the most part, a man, but I was also indulging in roleplay as a female character for extraneous reasons, and that says something about my gender identity; most of the time, I am a man, [...]

[...] but a non-trivial amount of times, I was also, even if under the veil of fantasy, a woman. So, after about a month of self-reflection after this click, I think a lot about what I believe I am and what I believe am not, and about what that entails and what it doesn& #39;t, [...]
[...] which I& #39;m going to address in this thread.
One thing I think I am is genderfluid, although I definitely am more often male than female. However, that means I& #39;m not entirely male or female, thus not my gender assigned at birth (GAB), thus not cis, and thus trans. [...]

[...] I am not, however, binary trans, which is what is usually thought of when you speak of transgender people, but rather non-binary (NB) trans. That is also the reason I maintained the any/all pronouns, since I can be either male or female at any given moment, but if in [...]
[...] doubt one can always rely on technically-incorrect-but-practically-acceptable neutral pronouns.
Another thing I am is male, most of the time, and for this reason, in public performance, I will identify as male without mentioning being NB, for practicality& #39;s sake. [...]

[...] I also won& #39;t mind for people to orient themselves sexually with respect to my gender as if I was male, since me being female doesn& #39;t happen for most of the time, including during intercourse, and so it would really be weird to consider yourself pan because of me. Now, [...]
[...] what I am not, or rather, what I will not do, is change my name or perform operation, because I don& #39;t feel dysphoria often enough for it to be a notable problem, at least, worthy enough of investing in it& #39;s solution.

I will most likely only talk about or fully express my gender identity in intimate circles, such as with my friends, as it is bound to cause more confusion than otherwise, even among family members who are more accepting of LGBTQ+ people. For this reason, this change [...]

[...] only really reflects on my friends in practice, and even then, I& #39;m lax enough to allow technically-incorrect-but-practically-acceptable slip-ups. Really, it& #39;s probably more a self-discovery moment to me than a paradigm change for anyone else, and I honestly hope that [...]
[...] it stays that way as to avoid confusion or other inconveniences which could arise. The same way I& #39;m glad I& #39;m pretty straight-passing, I& #39;m also glad I& #39;m pretty cis-passing, if that term even exists, or if people just call it "passing".
Anyway, that& #39;s about all I had to say.
