Everyone else is saying it, you get to choose and no one else.
I'm non-binary on feminizing hormones, so I feel like I've got quite a lot in common with trans women in particular. I've always half jokingly called myself a transfemby, I think it's a fun term and places me exactly on the gender spectrum where I feel like I should be. Even if my expression day to day is fluid, it's still accurate because I feel the fem things about me aren't as permeable. (In the sense that an identity can be permeable, but it's in theme with gender fluid heh)
Being able to choose the language to talk about your gender identity is the best, it's a great chance for some self expression imo.
Also non-binary on feminizing hormones! Sometimes it feels like a tricky spot to exist in, but I can’t agree more that learning and experimenting with language has helped me settle into that fluidity!
