NB genderfluid checking in here.
Find it interesting that you say that as biologically male you identify more as a man.
Though I do fall that way on occasion, when I lean away from a neutral they position I tend to lean towards she/her more often than not despite being born male.
Honestly, I'm still figuring myself out. I've identified as 100% man most of my life, and it's only very recently that I've started to understand myself well enough to question that.
In the few days since i posted this, my transformation into the person I want to be/truly am has continued. If I were to use this inherently flawed scale now, I'd be more of 1-0-0. I can't deny that the testosterone in my body exceeds the estrogen, and I really like having a beard and a penis, so I'm undoubtedly physically male. That's the only real tie I have to gender; otherwise, I'm now certain that I'm nonbinary.
Right now, because I'm trying to bolster my femininity to achieve more of a balance that reflects how I feel about myself, I very much prefer she/they. But once I'm fully who I want to be, I think I'll be comfortable with any pronoun.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. The more I learn about others who've shrugged off societal preconceptions of gender, the closer I get to understanding myself and my relationship therewith.
