Why are you taking T? I thought you were happy being gender.. queer, gender fluid? I'm sorry if I sound rude just inquisitive feel free to tell me to fuck off.

Taking T and being happy with my genderqueerness (agenderness, specifically) are not mutually exclusive.

Since a lot of people have been asking about this, I’ll be more specific about my plans (with a huge reminder that my personal choices/feelings don’t reflect those of anyone else’s, no matter where on the trans spectrum they fall, even fellow agender folk):

When I’ve said before that I don’t have body dysphoria in relation to being agender, that’s mostly true, in the sense that I’m just as okay with my body “as is” as I would be if I had been born male — neither option is exactly perfect for me, so I don’t feel the urge to transition into a man, have bottom surgery, etc.

The purpose of taking (a slightly low-dose) of T is to help my body regulate itself into a state I’m more comfortable with. I’m currently in a stage of my life where my body is producing mostly estrogen and that comes with physical effects I’m not entirely happy about. With a little added T, I can feel more in control of my physical presentation and know that it more clearly reflects my non-gender. My end goal isn’t to look like a completely different person, just a subtly modified version of my current self.

There is a slew of benefits and risks in taking T, so I don’t recommend anyone starts the process without loads of research beforehand, but let me reemphasize: there’s no “right” way to be trans. Genderqueer/non-binary people of all varieties have to find their own selves and their own path. This just happens to be the one I want for myself.
