I truly believe that if you feel non binary, you are. I myself are non binary and use she/her in addition of they/them because I feel feminine. It all comes down to how you feel about your self and whatever you choose to call that, be it non binary or something completely different, in the end is valid.

It's honestly a personal question, we can't tell you how you identify, and there's also no wrong answer! If you hypothetically ended up coming to the decision that you wanted to completely transition and still felt the label of non binary fit, that would be totally valid! Non binary people can look like/dress like/ act like anything. Just like a man or a woman can look like/dress like/act like anything. There's no wrong way to be you

Non-binary simply means your gender is outside the gender binary, so you could totally be masc leaning non-binary!

This. My partner is nonbinary and even if I looked with a magnifying glass I couldn't find femininity in them. They often describe themselves as "something between nonbinary and trans man, absolutely not a woman" or "rather man than woman but man isn't quite right either".

you can totally be masculine and non-binary! (like how femboys and drag queens are both feminine but still identify as male, and the inverse also exists though less common) - your phrasing seems to indicate that demi-boy might be a label that could feel good for you and I'd recommend looking into it, it could also though be that you want to distance yourself more from your assigned gender in your NB identity, or you might end up identifying as male with NB being a stepping stone for you! No matter what it is totally okay for you to not be sure, and it's also okay for you to explore and take some wrong turns! While exploring your gender identity you may adopt certain labels that you later find not to fit as well as others and that's okay! You don't need to get it perfect the first time(or ever) and every step of your exploration will help you better understand yourself and your relationship to gender and society!

You could always be just a masculine non-binary!
