Analysis of What Am I?



I stare at the papers. Male or Female. Which am I? I don’t feel like a woman. Am I a man? I think so. I go through life as a man for a little bit. But then one day I don’t feel like a man. But I still don’t feel like a woman either. So I must me nonbinary. I go through life as nonbinary for a while. Things are going great until a very confusing day. My therapist told me that you can identify as trans and nonbinary. I think I fit that label. But everyone finds it confusing. He/they? What is that? So many questions. “What’s in your pants?” “Are you a girl?” “Are you a boy?” A little girl comes up to me in the store. “I think your really handsome and pretty!” Can I be both? I feel happy and my face lights up. I fit this label. My name is Arson Alexander Jace Ray and I identify as Transmasc and Nonbinary and I AM VALID!!!
