nb erasure, bi erasure, and trans gate-keeping
every so often i'd find myself trying to label myself into a binary box, which ends up making me more confused and dysphoric. it's imposter syndrome for queer people.
i've identified as transmasc and gray-ace pansexual for nearly 10 years, yet i still go through this mini crisis every other week. due to cis-heteronormativity and a lack of diverse representation, it's easy to forget this, but gender and sexuality both exist on a spectrum!
It's not up to others to decide who you are and how you feel.

I feel ya there.
Sometimes I go through a bit of a "?????? am I really real or just a poser?" moment before I remember how happy I was stepping outside of the binary box I'd lived in my entire life and just... felt good not identifying as a man or as a woman.
I was never happy "as a man", but I thought for the longest time my only option was to become a woman, so I figured I wasn't trans, just a GNC man.
Even when I learned about nonbinary people it was so ingrained in me that it took a friggin' dream to wake me up to it, lol
