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.

And an affirmation of an experience that is not quite yet my experience.

Yeah I felt really weird about saying I was a man (ESPECIALLY a gay man) until I had been on HRT for like months.

Now it seems silly to say anything otherwise. But it's uncomfortable asserting things about a gender you don't have lived experience as--
