GNC (gender nonconforming): a term describing an individual whose gender presentation does not align with or reflect their gender identity.
Trans*: describing individuals whose gender or sex identity doesn't match one's birth assignment (transsex and/or transgender); or those who wear clothes that are not traditionally associated with the one's gender or sex (transvestic).
Some people use trans and GNC interchangeably, or overlapping each other. Trans GNC folks usually consider themselves both contextually.
My soul groans, and cries, and finds no respite, nothing that will quell this ache inside. It is a blessing or a curse to be born with open eyes? I have been made a rebel upon this world, and will be until my soul closes its eyes when Death kiss deliverance upon my heart.

We all die selling our souls. We spend most of our life trying to please others and hoping to get accepted by becoming a prisoner and enslaving ourselves to people's opinions. We submit ourselves to different things; friends, schools, employment, acceptance of society, social media, and more. We settle to be like sheep because we want to belong and are afraid of becoming pariahs. And the more we try to fit into the norms, the more we lose our souls and genuine self. Therefore, we all die a whore fucked over and over by conformity.
Do you know what intelligence is? It is the capacity, surely, to think freely without fear, without a formula, so that you begin to discover for yourself what is real, what is true; but if you are frightened you will never be intelligent.
Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbors, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death. Most of us have fear in one form or another; and where there is fear there is no intelligence.
It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing; but that is not living, because in it there is fear, decay, death. To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself.
But you are not encouraged to do this; no one tells you to question, to find out for yourself what God is, because if you were to rebel you would become a danger to all that is false. Your parents and society want you to live safely, and you also want to live safely. Living safely generally means living in imitation and therefore in fear.
I think there's a lot of negative connotations around being a ghost - like, loneliness, pessimism, lurking in the background where no one will see, etc etc
and I get that!! I really do!!! That's initially what made me think I was ghostkin!!! I remembered my own freaking death!!!!! That has exactly 0 positive connotation!!!!!!!
But at the same time!!! I am a SILLY CLOWN who dresses in BRIGHT DECORA, not cool, flowy nightgowns or pale achromatic colors, I try to be social even when it's hard and my anxiety or depression takes over, I try to be a light in the fog, not assimilate to it in an attempt to be more as my kin
I wish others were like this. It honestly kind of annoys me whenever I see a ghost carepack or whatever and everything's black and white and gloomy. Like, I get theming and all, but,. still?
Kin-nonconforming. Is that a thing? I don't know.
I know I'm a nonconformist in most senses of the word. I'm fucking queer and otherkin and the most colorful person in my neighborhood, possibly even my whole city. Even knowing this, it gets tiring to see no one like me.
!! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN ATTACK ON PEOPLE WHO CONFORM TO THEIR KIN. THIS IS ME EXPRESSING MY OWN FRUSTRATION ON BEING NONCONFORMING. !!
