The desire to not be a man in queer spaces when I deeply am one

Gender Questioning

Been on T and post op for years and while I feel so so good in my body now I can't shake the feeling that things would be easier/better for me in community if I wasn't like, fully a man. When interacting with other queer people my masculinity feels like a wall. I'm open about my transition, try to join in conversation about queerness and gender. I can relate in so many ways to experiences of enbies and transfems and more fem transmascs but because I label myself a man and dress masc, idk, do I just seem boring? Or like I'm buying into the binary? I dress and act the way I do because it makes me happy. And I want that for everyone. And it just makes me sad to feel like I'm not queer enough sometimes, like I'd be better off if I was nonbinary. Would love to hear if any of you have thought about this or how you reconciled it.
