Like i have little interest in changing presentation and definitly no interest in hormones, but i do have some degree of discomfort with the concept of masculinity

Wouldn't agender still fall under non-binary since it's also outside of the binary? Isnt NB just the umbrella term for everything that isn't male/female?
Yeah I suppose it would be in that literal sense non (not) binary. But my experience of how most people use the term nonbinary is to describe themselves as still experiencing an internal sense of gender that simply does not align with a male or female identity. And I think that makes sense why there are many nonbinary people who are also trans. I personally feel that gender is something that was extrinsically placed on me. I dont have any desire to transition not because I feel like being a woman would be dysphoric for me but because I don't desire to gender at all.
NB is a big umbrella with a lot of people who really don't want to be put into boxes (not that there aren't lots of binary people also in that camp: people shouldn't try to shove each other into narrow boxes regardless). I think the autistic meme that could be adapted to NBs is "if you've met an NB, you've met one NB."
OTOH, if using the label leads to making assumptions about you that you don't want, it makes sense to avoid it. Labels should be for your benefit, not detriment.
