I'm not trans so I can't speak for anyone who is, but as I understand it

  1. male and female are biological terms so you can't really choose to be one or the other. The overwhelming number of people are exclusively one or the other. There are some rare cases of people who are biological both and some who are biologically neither. BUT

  2. Non-Binary can refer to an individual not identifying as man or woman, or masculine or feminine, which are societal constructs and malleable through time and geography. It's not something I fully understand but I don't understand Korean at all and I'm not about to say that language doesn't exist.

It's complicated and messy and something you'd be better off asking somewhere else

You REALLY need your own place, and to take time to focus on yourself and heal from your trauma. Find a good therapist that you feel comfortable with and open up. The fact that you're on here shows you're ready to talk about it. I realize that you may not be in a position right now to move out, but you should definitely work towards that goal and put some distance between you and your family. You don't owe them anything. I'll let you in on a secret: just because you're related by blood, doesn't mean you're obligated to care for them. It's entirely okay to cut those people out of your life if it's what you need to do to heal. Your number one focus right now needs to be YOU. YOU matter. YOU have value. YOU are important. Don't let anybody else tell you any different. Learn to love yourself, even if sometimes it feels like you're the only one that does. Trust me, that's not true. Get a cute haircut. Get your nails done. Buy a nice outfit. Be nice to yourself. You deserve it. You've done nothing wrong, you deserve love. So give it to yourself. There's people out there that love you too. Your just haven't met them yet. You survived. You made it out alive. Now enjoy that life like nobody's watching.

haven't met many that are, and the entire industry is predicated on moving technology and world forward for the betterment of humanity. For example, the group I'm in develops hardware to service equipment using the latest refrigerants for air conditioning systems. We do work to help lower GWP of refrigerant technologies, come up with systems and solutions that lower the amount of escaped refrigerant, make technicians lives and jobs easier and safer. That's how it's supposed to work. If you did the job, you'd quickly realize that no one is in it for the glory haha. There's none to be had.
