    This is EXACTLY how I feel, I identify as nonbinary and use "trans" as a blanket term. I'm also on low dose T. I have always shied away from the word "man" for the same reasons. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ☺️

    I’m in a similar place. Currently ID as trans non binary, but also letting myself feel free to explore & accept the possibility that my identity might shift in the future esp as my body changes on T. Sometimes I play around w the idea of being a “demi-boy” and other times I’m just so exasperated by labels entirely that I just call myself “trans” and leave it at that lol. No other clarifying terms.

    I am still not sure if I'm really nonbinary or maybe a trans guy. I hope when I start transitioning, my direction will become more clear, as I figure out where my comfort zone lies in my body. I just want to feel comfortable in my body, I never have since puberty :(

    Good talk. I am also nonbinary and transmasculine, although I’m on normal doses of T for now. People are confused. My solution has been mostly to not talk about it, lol. So I appreciate you being brave and open about it. This gender stuff is still kinda experimental, tbh. I’m feeling stuff out. I’m happier so far. I don’t pass as a man at all and don’t really want to. Not sure if or when I’ll get to a point where I’m like, this is masculine enough, no further. I just want to live in a society that doesn’t care too much if my gender is confusing.

    I completely relate to how you feel!! I present very masculine but i also don’t feel comfortable with identifying as a trans man myself. I think for me it’s like I’m closing off a part of myself that I’ve come to be proud of in terms of how I can be feminine on the inside. Some times it feels like it’d be easier to say I identify as a binary gender but I genuinely feel very much so right in the middle of the spectrum. Love your content dude thank you for sharing!! 💕

    You're not alone on this! I do not like labels either cause I just couldn't put myself in a box. One of my good friends, asked me recently if I would ever call myself a "man" and I responded "maybe" just cause I don't know what the future will unfold and I've been more open to the idea of possibilities and changes in the future.

    I'm pretty new to your videos because I've been considering low-dose T, and your comment about "man" being too locked down is exactly how I feel. Thank you for this video and all you do :)

    I love your personality so much and I would totally also just watch videos of you doing things unrelated to T updates - trying baking, going on an adventure someplace, new craft projects, or things like that. Also, both my mom and I have gotten Meg's art before and 10/10 totally recommend it's adorable!

    i love your willingness to go with the flow, just say idk, and take changes as they come. i get so stressed out in trans spaces when everyone is asking questions looking for definite answers, the perfect label, an exact plan for the future, etc. that sometimes it's hard for me to use those as resources. but you're so easy going and reassuring! and you're really good at explaining your feelings. so thank you for everything you do!

    When I first started playing with my gender, I was scared to use the trans adjective. I felt like non-binary was something other than trans. After a talk with Florence Ashley, I came to feel comfortable with non-binary being a trans identity. Trans as an umbrella term for anyone not cis was very helpful. So, I use trans/non-binary all the time. Because I can and because I want to stress that I'm not a 'lite' version of the gender forced on me at birth. I'm not a man either. However, I knew I needed testosterone. Needed it as much as I need oxygen. But I'm neither woman nor man. I'm non-binary. T helps me get the body features that I always thought I should have. And trans/non-binary just makes sense to me as an adjective. I'm not my birth gender (trans); I'm something else (non-binary).

    Hey Meg! Thanks for making this video! I appreciate it. I totally agree about my gender just being me. My gender is just who I am and right now, my visual appearance doesn't represent how I see my self on the inside so I identify as trans non-binary. Just like you said, things could change in the future and then I would re-label myself but I also don't like getting hung up on labels.

    i agree so much on this, i will be going on low dose T but i dont want to be a cis male, i still am non binary at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing your experience as there’s not much about trans non binary on YT🙌
