I'm curious about the makeup of this community. Might make a graph later.

It's enby, and definitely not solid.

Now, it almost never feels fluid. I spend weeks at a time thinking "Yeah, I feel I'm mostly a man, breaking out of norms just makes me feel free, and I wanna be strong like all those enbies I admire". And then one month later I see myself equally genuinely thinking "I'm a trans fem~ish, and I wish I could be pretty like all those women I admire."

And it's like I don't emotionally "remember" the other state. Each state is my entire reality while in it.

But consciously, I remember having been through this, not just now with gender, but some years ago with sexuality as well.

So yeah. It's a little bit of everything, all of the time.
