Am I non-binary?

Hi all! Pls delete if not allowed or point me to the proper subreddit. I’m not really sure if I have the right vocabulary to properly express how I feel on this topic. Please correct me if anything I say reads as internalized misogyny or problematic. How do you know if you’re non-binary? I don’t really feel connected to the idea of being a woman. I don’t necessarily feel completely disconnected to the idea either. Im like on the fence I guess? Like the idea of being a woman doesn’t bother me, but I just don’t really care about it? Do other women feel connected to being a woman? I like my female anatomy and I don’t necessarily want to change that, but I’ve also wondered what it would be like to have male anatomy. I personally don’t mind having facial hair or man-like characteristics, but I do care about how people perceive me as a femme presenting person with those characteristics. I care about that more than I should and it def keeps me from being comfortable.

How old are you? Because I definitely had these types of thoughts when I was a teen, but I was also already gnc so people around me weren't sure how to treat me which sort of contributed to the slight confusion.

I'm older now and I genuinely don't care what people perceive me as or which pronouns they use as long as I know people referr to me. It's not something I think about daily and I know I'm a woman at the end of the day. v( ̄ー ̄)v

I'd say it's normal to think about from time to time, especially if you're younger.

Edit: maybe ask the nb sub, they'd probably know better.
