People are people. Gender is a mildly useful mental short hand for whats expected of people but in no way something you need to conform too. If you feel like you want to change your pronouns so people have different base assumptions about you that's cool. I identify as male because that's closest societal box I fit in but I give zero fucks about what people expect of me. You shouldn't feel the need to change your self just because you don't fit neatly into the box society has proscribed to you. In fact moving away from societal expectations is a good thing in a lot of ways, that's part of how you over come toxic masculinity.
Nah, feel no need to change my pronouns, male is still the closest to me. I just had a crisis over temporarily not knowing if I there were any “good parts” of masculinity. People here have taught me not to worry so much about that and forge my own definition, though :)

So I’ve been told. I’m eager to worry less about it :meow-bounce:
