in their own words

When I was younger and people told me I was a girl and told me I needed to be certain things, that made me reject femininity. So I didn't like skirts, I didn't like accessories, I didn't like pink. But at the same time, there was just this inner struggle about why don't I feel comfortable with myself.

Once I realized that I was non-binary I began to be more feminine because, to me, being feminine wasn't associated with being a girl anymore. So I embraced that.

Sometimes if I want to go to the store and I don't want to be harassed, I'm able to throw on something more masc or whatever, and I'm like "Ugh, it feels nasty to be like, I can just do this."

No shade, but all of this gender stuff seems like a scam, no matter how you do it or don't do it. I think the scam is when you walk into a store and it says "boy's, girls, men's, [and] women's," you can literally shop anywhere in the store if you aren't afraid to. And part of the scam is selling people gender.
