To be honest I feel trapped by a sicoity that makes it truly difficult to be both genders I wish I could pick one tbh it would be easier but I'm not sure how I can't truly completely committ to one gender because how confused and unsure of who I really am can anyone relate and help with feedback

Could it be also...
commitment issues in general for relationships like here?

If it's only commitment to one gender that's the concern, then...

I've seen other people say experimentation is needed to figure out the answer here

It seems there are issues with life satisfaction per wikipedia in the situation you mentioned

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_asexual_people

which said...
A 2017 LGBT survey conducted by the Government of the United Kingdom found that despite just two per cent of more than 108,000 respondents identifying as asexual, they had the joint-lowest (alongside pansexual people) average life satisfaction of any sexual orientation amongst cisgenderrespondents. The results of the survey also showed asexual people to be the least comfortable cisgender LGBT group within the United Kingdom, and 89 per cent of cisgender asexual respondents - the highest percentage of any group surveyed - were reluctant to be open with their identity for fear of negative reactions

So it seems experimenting and finding out which gender might be a strategy that could lead to getting out of the situation mentioned above. It's just a possiblity.

@pinkKite234 I can relate a bit on this. I'm non-binary myself, and I end up just presenting however feels most comfortable that day, whether it's more femme or masc, and usually incorporating characteristics from both, or presenting androgynously. Theres aspects of both genders which I appreciate and borrow from, but I definitely understand not fitting fully into either.
