A lot of people have been asking me if I'm just a binary trans woman now or if I still identify as NB or genderqueer.

My answer is: how the hell should I know?

My gender situation has shifted so much in the last year I no longer trust my ability to make long-term predictions about it.

I know what steps I want to take next, and that involves doing a lot of things associated with binary trans women (hormones, voice training)

But I don't have a definite long-term destination in mind.

Check back in a year or two. If I'm basically just living my life as a binary trans woman, then there we have it, I'm a woman.

But maybe I'll still want to hold on to the non-binary identity. I think I just have to wait and see how things feel in a larger time frame.

This is why for now I like the term "trans femme." Saying "I am a woman" still feels to me like an awful lot of ontological commitment.
