Being transgender is not just a medical transition.
Gender is a spectrum.
I was assigned female at birth. My gender identify is non-binary.
I struggled coming to terms with the fact that I'd been assigned female at birth, but that I didn't feel like a girl or a woman or a man or a boy.
I have never really referred to my voice as 'gay.'
My pronouns are she, her, and hers. I identify as female, specifically as a transgender female. And my name is Josie Totah.
I'm non-binary, but I don't really talk about it that much.
I feel so much more comfortable that I've ever been. I've felt male as far back as I can remember.
I'm not lesbian; I'm not bisexual; I'm not straight. I'm just curious.
There are people that very strongly identify themselves as gay and then lesbian, and then I think there are a lot of people who are kind of some percentage or some version of that.
I confused gender identity with sexual orientation. Your gender identity is about who you are, how you feel, the sex that you feel yourself to be. Sexual orientation is who you're attracted to.
I don't feel the need to transition. I'm almost 100 percent positive I won't.
I don't feel that I'm in the wrong body. I feel like this is the body I'm supposed to be in.
Non-binary is a term used by some people, myself included, who feel that their gender identity falls outside the tradition boxes of man or woman.
My sexuality's very fluid, and my gender is very fluid.
I'm not gender-fluid. I'm not gender-nonconforming. I'm not gender-free.
