i know its not but it happens with increasing frequency, esp dfab people being pushed towards hrt in radically growing numbers vs dmab people.
insecure women is a very simplified and somewhat insulting way to describe people who go through this experience because its much more than them being insecure
just adding my two cents here but agender isn't necessarily a subset of transgender per se but those who do describe themselves under the term usually aren't transtrenders either. those who are agender usually identify themselves with it because of disapproval of current gender identities that exist today or because they don't consider gender as something that identifies them at all. and there are also those who are unhappy with there biological sex too, and its sometimes because it classifies them under such a large group of people who live under restricted gender roles. its an umbrella term tbh but what it usually comes down too is not wanting to conform to societal norms of gender and being comfortable with yourself without having to worry about being too masculine or too feminine.
what do you think about gender non conforming people who are pushed into trans identities that cause them harm
ive never heard of this but it sounds like something those users in the other thread would do since they claimed agender is a subset of transgender
it happens a lot to people who are dfab (designated female at birth for those in The Audience who dont know) wherein they cannot conform to societal standards of femininity and are drawn/coerced into iding as trans men, non-binary, etc in order to move away from the dysphoria that many women face in their day to day life because they cannot live up to the standards of the "ideal woman" and thus move towards an identity or state in which they can attempt to exist while coping with dysphoria.
it doesn't always go well and often these people end up detransitioning and adopting the label gender non conforming for themselves as a way to acknowledge that they are not the "ideal woman" but still valid to exist as the gender they were assigned and birth and navigating that identity, rather than a trans identity
=) i used to id as nb (agender specifically) and realized it was a phase that i adopted because of my own personal discomfort with being a woman in society, but over the past few months i've started to accept that i am a woman and i am comfortable with that and i don't need to id as anything else, even if being a woman is something harsh and hard to be sometimes in society
