Okay, I was assigned male at birth, but I have questions:

  1. I mostly identified as non-binary/agender, but is it possible for me to also be genderfluid in that capacity? I have felt more fluid recently, but is that generally accepted?

  2. Regardless of fluidity, do I fall into the LGBTQ+ community because of my identification, or am I excluded from it?

  3. Is queer a socially acceptable term to use for those in the community, or does it carry the same weight it did when I was a kid in the late 90s?

I don’t have anybody in my community I can discuss this with, which is why I came here. Hopefully you all can help give me a little guidance ✌️

    If you think/feel/identify as gender fluid &/or non-binary/agendered that’s good enough for me. I use qweer as a catch-all some older people may not like it but I don’t think most people have a problem with it. Yes you belong.

    Also I usually use lgbtq+

    So I am also just like you! Most of the time I’m very neutral like agender and don’t care but some days feel fluid. I usually say I’m gender-fluid because I feel the fluid also can fall in the middle at either or nothing.

    In terms of the queer community you fall under trans. In terms of gender it’s cis or trans for the umbrella terms. Anything not cis is trans. I don’t usually say im trans because that has its own society attachments. But that’s where you fit in mostly.

    But also remember gender and orientation is all made up and you can feel comfortable wherever and however you want ❤️
