My dysphoria as a nonbinary bastard

  **disclaimer** obviously nonbinary isn't a third gender or anything, so I can't speak for transmasc or transfem or genderfluid folk, but I can speak for myself, and maybe you can find some of yourself in me.

I personally feel a lot more social dysphoria than physical, as I've mentioned in previous chapters. It's less about I don't have a dick or my voice isn't deep and is more about everyone thinks you're a girl, and you're not. Or people using she/her (which I don't mind anymore because I'm pronoun indifferent)

  Lately I've been finding solstice in not only dressing androgynously anymore. I don't need to conform to what people think nonbinary should look like, because enby folk can present masculine, or feminine, or any way they want really, and that's what brings me comfort.

  I care less about passing now, because no one is going to look at you and assume you're nonbinary, we haven't reached that stage yet and I hope we never do (maybe I'll explain later), but if I transition socially, that's how I get rid of my dysphoria.

  It took me a while to get to this stage, and it was tough, but I'm proud of myself and I'm happy that I'm learning to be happy in my own skin.
