I’ve always found comfort in labels (not just for societal stuff, like taxonomically identifying mushrooms is one of my special interests) so for me it is important and I do care. I understand though that not everyone needs a label to understand themself.

it’s basically just “what if the genders that made up your gender-fluidity were all true simultaneously, rather than being a set of states you cycle through / drift between” which may sound kinda esoteric in terms of material reality & social dynamics, but I’ve learned that you totally can move through life as a man and a woman at the same time (in a way that even strangers recognize!), and that’s personally what feels most real & natural for me

idk your current situation or if this helps you op, but one thing that pushed me towards believing i’m ftm was getting away from my parents (i live with them for financial reasons) and staying with my older sibling (also transmasc and nb) for a while. i brought a mixture of fem and masc clothes, but while i was there and not feeling pressure to perform femininity, all i wanted to wear was masc clothes. i think skirts and dresses are cute, but i def lean more towards masc than i ever realized idk

I cut off my parents completely about a year ago and my biggest supports now are my trans and queer friends on campus. I think it’s a process of unlearning fear now, and I’m glad to be at a point where I can consider being me again.
