Help figuring out my gender?

Hi all, I’m 23m but I’ve been questioning if I might be another gender for a few years.

I’ve identified as gender nonconforming since I was like 14. I present pretty feminine and a lot of people often mistake me for a woman at first, since I’m also just naturally androgynous looking. I like that my gender is not easy to figure out, but I don’t exactly feel like I’m nonbinary.

I’m okay with being referred to as a man and I’m most comfortable with he/him pronouns, but I don’t exactly feel like I’m actually a man either. Funnily enough the phrase that I feel like best describes me is I’m not exactly a man but I’m not exactly NOT a man. Some of my friends have previously described my gender as “none of your business”.

With that said, although I still identify as a man right now, I don’t present like one at all and I don’t really feel like a man either. Using he/him pronouns and saying I’m a man just feels easier than figuring out what’s going on with my gender. Maybe my gender is male adjacent.

I tried looking for identities that might fit me, and I thought that proxvir might be a possible fit, but I saw that it has a focus on being masculine adjacent, and I’m not masculine. I have some masculine characteristics and whatnot, but I’m primarily more feminine in general. The main thing that’s masculine about me is that I use he/him pronouns and call myself a man. That’s it. Can my gender still be queer if I still use my agab pronouns and title?

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me figure things out. Am I somewhere under the nonbinary umbrella? Am I actually just cis and confused? Please help guys.
