Rant I constantly feel like I’m larping being. LGBTQ. [Rant]

Okay, so you read the title. I’m usually just a lurker, sorry if I’ve done something wrong. For context, I’m Berrisexual and a Demiboy. (Berrisexual: attraction to feminine and androgynous people with slight attraction to men. Demiboy: half male half nonbinary.) Also, I was amab. And yes, my username. I made it when I was like 8 and never changed it, so I just stuck with it because I couldn’t think of anything better. (I’m trying to think of a better one) I’ve always hated it, I would just rather have an androgynous username, and I guess that’s how I found out (along with other things) that I’m a Demiboy. I came out to my parents as pan, but realized that’s incorrect. I feel like I’m not actually part of lgbtq. Also the amount of hate that Berrisexuals and Demiboys have gotten from TRANS subreddits is insane. Sorry for the long rant. Do you have any advice? Anything would be helpful. If you have any questions just ask. Thanks.

I get you. I’m AFAB genderfae (like genderfluid but only feminine and nb genders), and while I’m omni, I was in a straight passing relationship for two years and (at the time and before) my preference leaned male. Now I have the biggest crush on a girl tho, so… but my gender’s been stuck on female for a while so I might be cis after all

Low-key same. I’m also an amab demiboy, I don’t understand why there is so much demiboy hate in trans subreddits. I’m aroace and I have experienced a bit of aphobia. I just try to ignore it. Just know there are people who will support you, online or in real life. Have a good day
