i really hesitate to write this because i know it could come across as wanky and potentially offensive so i'm sorry and freeze me and tell me to go to hell if this is awful, but why does it seem like there are so many young people in the hockey tumblr/twitter community who say they are nonbinary and/or gender nonconforming or something else ask for the use of different pronouns (i see they/them a lot but also he/him)... but then still present a really strongly feminine gender presentation? like i guess i know this extends outside of hockey, there's a girl i used to coach who is now a senior in high school and they haven't changed anything about their actual presentation but now requests from time to time on facebook that people use they/them pronouns but i don't even think anyone does that. i'm confused. i'm cis and i want to better understand. i also understand i'm probably an asshole for asking this so, yeah. i noticed it again with this person so this at least seems like a semi-related space to ask instead of bringing it up out of nowhere
