Thanks so much to both of you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Like three seconds before this thread was updated I was like F it I'll just deal and I signed up for the Academy.

This makes a ton of sense. I know that I'll need workouts designed for women's bodies, and I'm fine with that, but I'm more concerned about the support system. Apparently signing up for the academy grants you access to a private Facebook group that's separated by gender. I'm wondering if anyone who is genderfluid or nonbinary has had any experience in these groups, and whether they felt the support system was what they were looking for.

Hey everybody! I've been reading the NF blogs for years and I think I'm hitting the point where I'm ready to join the Academy...but something that stopped me from pulling the trigger today was that I have to say whether I identify as a man or a woman. Here's a little about me: I'm a queer-identified cisgender female, but although I don't consider myself completely nonbinary, I'm largely gender nonconforming - I don't wear any items of clothing that are made for women (except a sports bra) and usually when asked my gender on a survey or form, I decline to identify because marketing that is targeted by gender is always super wrong for me. I'm not trans or anything, I'm fine with being female as long as nobody tries to make me act or look like what society typically considers women to be. I know that I'll need support and encouragement on this journey from people who are going through the same thing, but I'm worried about getting sorted into a Facebook group only for women, since that might not really be the right fit for me. Does anybody have any insight? Thanks in advance!
