In recent years I had the time and mindset to work on my psyche. First I got diagnosed with ADHD and I’m probably on the (low end) of the autism spectrum, though there is no official diagnosis. This was during the time where I asked myself “who am I?”. Almost all my life I adjusted myself and my behaviour to fit the group I was currently in. So during this – ongoing – discovery, the topic of my gender surfaced too. I never considered myself masculine, even though I dress like that, even having a full beard.<br />Over time, I thought about it more and more and now I don’t know whether I am cis male, trans, non-binary or maybe agender. I talked to someone recently and they asked me whether I would push a button, if this would transform me. My answer was that I probably would push it quite easily, but that I didn’t know what the result of said transformation would be. That leads me to the conclusion that cis male is probably not the right description for me.</p><p>All in all, with this account I want to see who I am.<br />This includes testing out my pronouns. I’m starting with “they/them”, those, and the name, are subject to change.</p><p>Aside from that, I’m a software developer from the south of Germany and I like to do sports, read and on occasion do some photography.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/introduction"
