That’s the way I see it. Like, if other people wanna use different terms for themselves or different gender-neutral pronouns (like xe or ey) that’s totally fine but I don’t want to make things complicated for myself or others. It’s a little confusing as it is that while I look and sound like a woman, I am not. I just know what feels right and makes sense to me. If there’s already a term that works I don’t see an issue with using it.

Also, kinda side note but I think about this in terms of my name, too. My “real name” isn’t Rose. Well, Rose is my middle name but whatever. My first name has “Lee” in it (yeah, it’s one of those trendy white girl names) so I could go by Lee and save a lot of trouble but… I kinda hate it. Like, idk, it just bugs the hell out of me. I had sone teachers in school call me Lee because they had trouble pronouning my first name and it just grates on my nerves.
