If you missed it, over the weekend I wrote a thread on new research on possible genetic roots of gender dysphoria.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1226589802738270208 …

I think our experiences are quite similar. I don't call myself NB bc the label has never resonated with me, but I think of myself as an agender man bc all I have is bodily dysphoria, I've never "felt" like either a woman or a man, except in a playacting kind of way.
If I had a natal male body type, I can't imagine I'd have questioned my gender or thought anything of it. If I'd be a binary cis man, I don't see why I should consider myself nonbinary as a trans man. I pursued a binary transition and live as a man, not a nonbinary person.

But, agender resonates bc I don't really feel myself to be any gender, and things like pronouns aren't an important part of my gender identity, just having a male-passing body (which ideally would just be a natal male body, but transition has greatly eased my dysphoria).

yeah, for me, i actually think i might still be dysphoric if i was born with a penis. like, i like my hips & i like having a vagina (a lot), i just dont like it when people see my hips or know i have a vagina & think i'm a woman.
