Non-binary struggles :( - November 12th 2022, 03:25 PM

Well then, I just have a few things to vent about.
Around 3-ish years ago was when I first started questioning my gender identity, but I couldn't accept that I was fully non-binary, and so I had just referred to myself as she/they. Pretty recently, I finally got comfortable with they/them pronouns, and decided that was all I wanted to use. Now, the problem lies with the fact that nobody calls me by my pronouns, and always assume I'm a girl. It really hurts, to be honest, but I've reminded them of my pronouns so much that I'm scared I'm just being annoying.
I admit, I look really feminine. I tried getting my mom to cut my hair, but neck-length was the shortest she would cut it because "There are certain hairstyles big people just shouldn't have."
That statement kinda made me fall back down into some of my old eating habits.

My parents have also said that they aren't going to get me a binder, and seem to be insistent on me looking more feminine. (Even more so than before I came out to them.)
As for when I came out to my parents, they told me that I wasn't gender dysphoric, and that I was only non-binary because my friends were (But at the time, I didn't have any non-binary friends) they also tried to say I was trans. My dad was like, "Oh well then, I guess you can't paint your nails. Men don't like their nails painted."

It really hurts, tbh. Maybe I'm being too sensitive. I dunno. All I do know is that I have certain pronouns, and I do want people to follow them.

Thanks for reading.
