Lacks the stage in 2025 where i'm she / her / meow / meows with a technical

and before anybody else says it, yes, it's kinda problematic to show gender neutral pronouns as a transitional stage to a binary trans identity. Yes, there are trans women who initially have an easier time using gender neutral pronouns because it takes the pressure off them to fully perform femininity, and that's ok and valid. But it's not the only or even a typical development. There's a lot of people who do not go through such changes and where pronouns go from he / him to "oh fuck somebody asked about my pronouns what do it tell them" directly to she / her or they / them or whatever fits them. There's people like me who transitionally use they / them, then go to she / her, then realize that the whole nonbinary thing wasn't a phase once we've settled in a bit, but stick with "binary"pronouns because womanhood is the closest commonly understood approximation to who we are and it makes little sense to explain the nuances to people who've never questioned their gender. And there's people who at first find it easier to accept being binary trans and need to become really secure in their femininity to accept they are actually nonbinary.

i like this explanation and have recently had something similar, where I was briefly calling myself agender to friends, then realized it was HRT and she/her time, but now after a few months feel like theres still some interesting angle to my inner gender that isn't an in-between, but more accurately equally both 'im just a person agender' while also binary transfemme. gender is neat
