OP- I went through this too. The enforced gendering of language and bodies is something that is unlearned over time. Especially as you learn what terms are right for you and how to express yourself. I even after I learned how to refer to myself I still struggled bc I had internalized what other people had told me about what it means to be trans or nonbinary- none of that matters. Do what feels right for your body and expression of self. Lots of love from another nb 🫶

I did this for the longest time as a ftm. I saw it as like something I was used to being labeled or called. Once I started hearing my preferred name and pronouns a lot more often my internal voice changed. Just keep mentally correcting yourself when you notice and it’ll become normal over time

Your brain know the truth and I don’t mean this in a rude way even though I know it will be most likely be taken as such

I felt like saying the terms I prefer out loud in sentences referring to myself helped me get a sort of muscle memory going. Mentally and physically if that makes sense. Also having trans or nonbinary friends who are good at gendering you appropriately will help a lot.

So when my brain tells me I’m the next prophet and god speaks to me it means my brain knows the truth and that’s true?
