So I'm a fem presenting (AFAB) nonbinary person and I haven't always been confident in my gender identity or expression since I found out that I wasn't exactly cis in my early teen years.

I used to (and still do) shove myself into the closet by telling myself that I was cis and the feelings I was having were normal to every cis person so I should just keep my pronouns as my birth pronouns even though I've been having those feelings for almost 10 years. I would also purposely dress myself in clothes that reflected my sex at birth even though I didn't feel that way at that moment and it really hurt me on the inside to do that.

Anyways, I found these socks at my local Target that had the nonbinary colors on them and it took me a lot of courage to buy them to the point where I was almost in tears purchasing them because it felt as if I was taking baby steps into accepting myself more and more with my gender identity which has been so difficult these past several years.

Thank you in advance if you read this all the way through 🥺❤️.
