Should I just be a girl?

[odd aspen]

I’ve been They/Them for a few years now, when I came out my parents were excepting but they don’t really use They/Them without messing up. It’s been probably about 5 years or less and they still mess up. It was good for a while there, they barely messed up, then my dad’s parents came for a holiday here, they kinda stoped after that. It was a few years ago that happened….they never really got back. Now my mums mum and her husband have moved to our town. They’d understand, it’s just my parents won’t sit down and explain it to them. I’ve corrected them when they say “she” but… they don’t even know what I’m saying, I’ve told them in passing… but I don’t want to be the one to sit them down and tell them. I’ve told my mum this but she just keeps saying “I’ll tell them soon” and “soon” never comes…. I just don’t know if it’s worth it anymore, constantly having to correct and tell people. I look like a girl and sound like a girl…well I guess I sound like a guy sometimes…but no one has ever called me a guy? Should I be a guy? I don’t feel like a guy…. I don’t feel like a girl…. But people don’t call me they. I just don’t know anymore. This is probably stupid and no one will see this in such a big server but yeah. If you have a response then @ me?

@odd aspen Hi, my names Alex or Annie whatever’s easiest 😊. I am non binary as well. You need to remember identifying as non binary ISNt for ur parents or grandparents or anyone besides you. Because you’re not a boy or a girl. Your NON BINARY!! And that’s amazing that you found yourself. Don’t give it up because your family doesn’t know how to be proud of you atm. Identifying like you do ISNT supposed to be for anyone else besides you ♥️

Thanks, honestly it means a lot. A lot of my friends are cis and when I talk to them they try their best, but I feel like on a deeper level they don’t understand. It’s hard to talk about it when it’s not 2am lol. (It’s 1:49am rn) it’s small words but they matter a lot, so thanks.
