You know it's nice having a really accepting community online, but sometimes I feel like people take things way to far.

Especially as someone who has finally become comfortable with using strictly my afab pronouns.

Like it's not that I was ever uncomfortable using them, I just felt pressured to be anything but cis by the lgbtq community online.

I'm cisgender. There I said it.

I don't understand personally the struggles of trans people, and anyone under the trans umbrella, but I'm just as accepting as I was before? I just will never be a member of the community myself.

It's not a big deal and it's not a fascinating revelation and honestly people who make a big deal about gender kind of intimidate me.

I tried using she/they for the longest time and honestly they/them made me feel like I was trying to be something I wasn't to be more openly accepted by the community.

Maybe it's just me, who gets pressured by people really easily.
