So this feels very odd to me, I'm a female presenting (most of the time) NB. I go by they/them pronouns but typically don't get affected by people misgendering me. I do still correct them but it never really bothers me. Lately it has been though.I was born female and therefore between that and presenting feminine a lot of people misgender me. Lately it's been getting to me more and more. I'm out at work and with my family but people still ocassionally slip up. Lately I've been experiencing gender dysphoria which is new to me. I've been debating getting a binder just for the days I just don't have the mental energy to handle being misgendered or just feel like presenting more masucline. I haven't really talked to anyone about this because regardless of them understanding and wanting be there for me I really don't want to add more to their plates. On top of this I've been wanting to present masculine more often lately as well. I do like presenting feminine, but lately I've been wanting to present masculine too. I don't want to go through any surgeries cus I like my body as is 90% of the time. Even when I have dismorphia over it I still don't want surgery I just want people to see me the way I see myself.

Unless people are intentionally misgendering, let it go unless they know your preferred. People say stupid things all the time, just think republicans to know that is true. But its not worth the hassle to constantly correct people, they are bound to get things wrong until they actually know you. As far as wanting to present differently, go for it, you might like it, you might not but the only way to know is to try. Most NB don't want surgery, and yet will present as they feel that day if they can, its your body and its your self, follow your rules. But just because you want something doesn't mean others will easily except that, they live by their rules as well. But try things out to see if you like something, for sure.
