I have been identifying myself as non-binary because sometimes I feel like a dude, sometimes I feel like a women, and sometimes I feel like I’m sliding around the spectrum of both at the same time.

But a lot of the time I feel like I have no gender at all. Which as I understand it, is what people call agender.

Am I right in calling myself non-binary or should I be calling myself agender? Or both?

I feel like I should know these definitions better.

    Labels exist to give you an avenue for self-expression in a world that doesn’t want queer people to express their identity, not for liberal “words mean something” dorks. Does it resonate with you? Then use it, a lot of people go by both of these terms. Nonbinary is an umbrella term to begin with, if your idea of gender is something else then “men are from Mars, women are from Venus and these are immutable, clearly seperate, very real things that totally exist” you’re fine to wave that nice flag around in my book.
