Honestly, I think if I were a teen today, I probably would've believed I was genderqueer/nonbinary or whatever term because I was "not like other girls".

This is my story, too. I spent most of my teens rejecting anything that could be interpreted as "girly" because I loathed all the implications that came along with it. Fifteen years later, it's absurd to think of myself as anything else than a woman, but I remember the way I was feeling about the topic back then. It had nothing to do with my gender identity and everything to do with gender roles. I have no wish to erase nonbinary people and their identities, but thanks to vivid memories of being sixteen and angry at everything, I'll confess that I silently doubt that most people putting "she/they" pronouns in their profiles are REALLY all that enby.

"It had nothing to do with my gender identity and everything to do with gender roles."

Yes, I felt this too. When I (cis woman) learned what being trans meant as a teen (being NB wasn't on my radar yet), I wondered if that was me because I didn't particularly feel like a woman, whatever that meant. I still don't really know what it means to feel "like a woman" but I feel fine living in my body, so I guess it's just that. What I actually wanted to reject were gender roles and expectations.

Talking about pronouns and identities in profiles, I could probably also call myself demisexual or grey ace, and it would be true by definition. But I don't identify with those things at all. I just don't want to have sex with most people, for a lot of reasons, and that's cool because I don't have to. It has practically no bearing on my life.

I believe that labels are important, but also that everyone exists on multiple spectra and whatever combination or permutation works for you is great.

All this is to say, I agree with your comment.
