I’ve long considered myself LGBTQ+ adjacent even though I thought I was an allocishet just because I grew up involved in the LGBT+ community (parents are lesbians and they took us to local LGBT+ family events as children). Weirdly, when I realized I wasn’t exactly allo, it felt more weird considering myself LGBT+? I think partly because I already sorta thought of myself as being LGBT+, so I didn’t feel more LGBT+ and the lack of a change made me feel less like I was less part of that group? IDK how brain works.
After realizing I wasn’t cis, I’ve changed to thinking of myself more explicitly as LGBT+ and queer. But I generally avoid more specific labels with regards to my gender, but I’d say trans, NB, agender, and transfem are all probably labels I’d at least partially use, but I think “queer” is my favorite label currently.
