Hi. I am trans non-binary, AMAB, and have been conscious of it to some level for almost a decade now, though in the past year or so I've been getting pretty severe imposter syndrome and wondering if I'm just a cis man: I mean, just because I think critically about gender and think the binary is silly, and don't know what it feels like to "feel like" any gender, and don't align with sterotypically masculine gender roles or traits doesn't mean I'm trans, right? On the other hand, maybe we are what we say we are, and that's the gist of it. Anyway, I'm sure a lot of this is just (unfortunately) internalized transphobia but idk.
FWIW, just scrolling through the last couple pages of the introduction thread I also see there are not only more new users listing their pronouns, but people who identify as trans. Not sure how much of it is because this forum skews younger and more and more teenagers are discovering they're trans (mind you, I believe this is because people are finally discovering language for their identity; I would not want people to read this and come to the conclusion that this is just a young person's fad) or because trans people on average suffer much higher rates of depression and suicide... but probably both. While I'm sad that people decide to join this forum in general, I hope that the more and more trans people who join, the less incel this place feels.
