        Denial (“I feel comfortable being addressed and seen as a guy, so I can’t be enby”)
        Anger (“Why do people always ignore the ‘it’ in ‘it/he’?”)
        Bargaining (“I just care a lot about respecting pronouns, so that’s why I get upset. I’m just doing this to add to enby visibility, because I don’t really mind.”)
        Depression (“I suppose people just don’t like referring to humans with pronouns normay used for objects, that’s just how it is”)
        Acceptance (“Okay I definitely feel good about being called ‘it’, so I’m probably agender”)

        Bargaining again (“Maybe I’m some in-between? Not really cis, but not really enby either?”)
        Proceeds to cycle between Denial, Bargaining, Acceptance and Bargaining again, with Anger and Depression playing a constant tug-of-war as backdrop

        Insert meme of mother yelling at her kid “Why can’t you just be normal”, but it’s me yelling at my Identity “Why can’t you just be simple”

        I mostly exist beyond this menial earthly scale but do on occasion return to anger and depression quite frequently. Mostly due to being purposefully misgendered. I’m not a girl, and not transfem, I don’t have a gender

        Denial was never a thing I went through, ever, I am indeed happy and comfortable with being called a boy, even though I’m not really. I still say I’m a femboy because that describes my experience of dressing up and being cute. Doesn’t mean I am a boy.

      No idea. I didn’t make the meme, but my guess is it’s a reference to a sliver of time in r/egg_irl’s history where every other post was Re:Zero themed.

        Oh yeah the whole thing with Felix. I remember that 😬.

        I’m not surprised that would make someone angry, as someone agender who does identify with the femboy experience it did make me a bit angry, especially when people said it made me a girl (egg prime directive wasn’t practiced much back then). Though thankfully things have gotten better these days (here I mean, not on Reddit, I haven’t touched Reddit).
