It's important to remember that gender and sexuality labels are not personalities.
There are gentle and sensitive masculine people (for example), as well as tough and coarse feminine individuals. One's sense of style can be influenced by their identities, but not necessarily ruled by them.
You have so much freedom in choosing labels. Don't let stereotypes scare you away from one that feels right.
-
Finding the perfect labels can be nice, but it's not necessary.
There are plenty of people who use labels that seem conflicting. There are others who prefer general terms over precision. Some folks mix it up.
The labels you apply to yourself should improve your life, not fence it in.

You can come out with labels that fit imperfectly.
Very few of us are completely certain about our labels, but it's okay to change them later.
Yes, some people might get confused. However, people are very adaptable. It's more important that you're comfortable.

So, someone (or some people) have said that they won't allow you to use the labels that you've chosen.
Well, what are they going to do? Reach into your brain and make you stop identifying as you do?
Ignore them. People like that will always find something to be angry about. Go live your life instead.

Don't worry too much about what others think of your labels.
Much of the infighting and discussion about who gets to use which labels in what way is restricted to the anonymity of the internet.
There are exceptions, of course, but out in the world most people are far more relaxed.

It's alright to do the bare minimum at least sometimes.
You might be too tired to correct the same people, yet again, about your pronouns. The clothes you managed to put today might not represent you very well. It's alright if you just want to go to the store without people trying to "clock" you in who knows what way.
It's all fine. The bigots didn't win because you were exhausted. You won because you made it through another day.
Live first. "Live well" later.

You can change your gender presentation, or even just your style, whenever you want.
It doesn't matter how long you've been a certain way. Shake things up, if you like.
It's your life. Have a good time with it.
