Me is having an identety crisis :'D
what makes humans so beautiful is our diversity. we are intelligent creatures that cannot expect ourselves to fit into narrow labels of what we are “supposed to be”.
explore your identity. educate yourself on how anti-queerness is rooted in racism and colonialism (specifically the erasure of nonwhite cultures and how it led to modern day issues). if you can find community, don’t be scared to connect to it. try new things. expand your horizons. see the empathy and compassion in the world.
open your heart. there is love in your soul and kindness in your veins. there is still enough time for you. i love you and all that you are. happy pride month. i’m glad you’re alive and here to read this.
and if you feel like queer people are in anyway unnatural or wrong: reflect on what environmental and social factors led you to hold your current morals. do you have your own thoughts on these matters, or do you echo the voices of people who have thought for you?
Hello friends!
So i used to identify as gender fluid because my gender changed with time (the literal definition of gender fluid) but i then dropped that label entirely for the Demiboy label and he/they pronouns because i felt that's what i was. I'm literally gender fluid and i thought I got it wrong because my gender changed I'm so stupid.
So in conclusion, I'm gender fluid but also kind of dumb and thought I got it wrong and started using a different label and was confused when it actually changed because i am gender fluid.
I'm non-binary right now and use They/Them pronouns although that will change, not anytime soon though.
Thanks for reading <3
Not to get into community discourse, but I’d like to share a point.
Mind you, I have seen multiple sides to this “debate” as I like to have rounded knowledge before I say my piece, about ANYTHING political or discourse-y.
The statement I’ve seen again and again, in multiple places, is the sentiment that there aren’t bills directly targeting transmascs, or hatred directed specifically at transmascs, or anything else under that umbrella directed at transmascs.
Obviously there have been a lot of good counters to these statements, and I’m not going to repeat something that’s been said better or more eloquently by others.
However, I have yet to see anyone talking about something that, in my opinion, really should be referenced more.
The concept of “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” (ROGD).
ROGD as a concept was legitimately created to theorize why, all of a sudden, transmascs were coming out and attempting to transition.
Rather than acknowledging the blatant truth- tranness, to these people, was limited to AMABs, and even then, for the longest time “trans healthcare” for ANY trans person was just discouraging transition altogether- they decided to make up a narrative that suited their needs.
That their precious “daughters” were falling victim to a new disorder. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.
Rather than help their sons feel comfortable in their own bodies, masses of parents flocked to this idea. Politicians flocked to this idea, and used it as a BASIS for many anti-trans bills.
Need I cite the hopefully infamous book? “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters”? The INFAMOUS book written elaborating this idea? The book used as evidence for countless transphobic bills?
That one concept (which, by the way, ROGD has been discredited by NUMEROUS health organizations worldwide, just in case I needed to clarify that) led to COUNTLESS transmascs facing abuses at home, in school, and elsewhere.
IDK, just food for thought. I think it’s odd that, in all my searching and read throughs of this discourse, NOBODY has mentioned this, even though it’s a pretty good example of transmasc specific oppression.
I coined a xenogender ! I'm not too good with names, but I'm calling it tropicaloceanic. Someone with this xenogender feels gendered connection to the ocean in tropical environments. I made it because of my theriotype being from a tropical area and it has a big tie on my gender!

Gender is a performance and I'm helping people burn down the cinema
actually when you ask someone if it's a girl or a boy you ask them what they have in their pants, it's a bit disgusting
the way I relate to this soooo much <3
Gender is so weird guys
I'm one of the girls, I'm a girl's girl and I'll cry if you say I'm not, but I'm not a girl's girl.
I'm also Just Some Guy, y'know? I'm a little weirdo, a freak, a little girl with dirt on his knees and fire in his eyes.
I'm her husband but I'm also her girlfriend.
I'm neither a man nor a woman but a weird recluse writer who lives on the edge of a cliff where its always stormy.
I dress like an alt older brother from an early 2000's movie but also like a 90's lesbian (sometimes it's the same outfit).
In conclusion, labels are weird. I'm a boyfriend and a girlfriend, a husband but not a wife, a girl but not a woman, a guy, a man, a friend.
All that being said, he/him and they/them are still very much my pronouns (never she/her).
Peace and love!!
I like being a bisexual and gender-fluid / maybe trans nightmare, so thank you lmao <3
lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry
This reminds me of the time when I went into the city with a friend and we met their kinda weird Christian relative that proceeded to ask me if I was a boy or a girl because she seriously couldn’t tell. I know she probably hated having to ask that question (and also getting the answer “both and neither” from me) but it’s still one of my favorite moments of my life to this day🫧

you know, being gender-fluid is so full of possibilities until you realize that most of the time you just feel like a gremlin and end up wearing the same old hoodie that you’ve worn at least five times in the last week, like ok, gender is too tired today, so we’ll just wear the hoodie :)
A few days ago, I showed my sibling Nimona.
(They are genderfluid.)
While I was getting ready today, I found this:
I am one happy older brother. 🥰
I am a girl. I am a girl because everyone my whole life has told me so. I am a girl because I wear skirts and dresses, because I like talking about boys with other girls. I am a girl because I wear bras, and need tampons, and need to shave my legs every week. I am a silly younger sister, and a caring older sister. I am a girl because my body chose to be a girl, and I love being one.
But I want to be a boy. I want to be muscular and strong, and to have a flat chest. I want to shop in the men's section for button downs, and shorts with large pockets. I want someone to look at me and think "He's so handsome." I want to own Nerf guns, and climb trees while scraping my knees. I want to be a mischievous little brother, or protective older one. I want to be a boy. But I am not. Because I am a girl.
Sometimes I want to be a mix of the two. I want to be a boy who wears skirts and high heels, and doesn't feel like any less of a man. I want to be a girl who intimidates and works long days to provide for her family, and who is still seen as a woman. I want to go a long time without washing my hair or shaving, and still be called Miss in the grocery store. I want to wear makeup and curl my hair, and still be told what a fine young man I am. But I cannot. Because I am just a girl.
Sometimes, when I am alone, I will take off my clothes and look in the mirror. At my body, who chose to be a girl. (Though I do not hate it because of that choice. It did not know that the soul that lived inside of it would not match.) And I will say to myself "I am a girl", and for that second I will be. Then I will say I am a boy, and I will become one for that moment. Sometimes I will say " I am a boy and a girl." and I can be both. Other times I will say "I am just a person." And my concept of gender will fade for that moment.
But after, the words will fade and I'll put my clothes back on. And I will be just a girl again. Not because I chose to, but because that is what I have been told my whole life.
I am a girl because everyone has told me so, and they will never see me as anyone else.
(This is my experience as a multi-gendered individual. I do not speak for anyone in the community except myself. People have different experiences with gender and sexuality. Nothing is universal. If you want to understand someone, ask about their own experiences. Don't presume. Make sure to take care of yourself.)
basically my gender
I love women. I’m half woman myself on my mothers side.
I feel like there’s a pretty common misconception that agender (and by extension, nonbinary) people only use they/them pronouns. So here’s a reminder that our identities are just as valid regardless of what combination of pronouns we use ‼️
Time to put on the gender affirming spotify playlist and learn to do a push up! Fuck, I cannot tell if I'm excited or not
Being genderfluid's great btw. It's like
Friend who we'll call Flower: Ow!
Me: Heh?
Flower: Period cramps...
Me: L, being a girl must be rough
Flower: You bleed so hard on your period you take six pills a day just to moderate it and it's also caused your iron deficiency you ice craving bitch.
Me: My point stands!
Flower: No, it doesn't! Mainly because you are a g-
Me: SHHHHHHHHHH! The dysphoria lurks around every corner and you're about to look into the figurative closet of pain.
Flower: ....... Was that a closet joke because this is a queer tumblr post.
Me: Yessir, now go ask the nurse for an ibuprofen
My gender envy spectrum as a genderfluid:
He/Him - Spider-Man (And sometimes Peter Parker)
He/They - Peter Parker (But never Spider-Man)
He/It - Wirt (Over the Garden Wall)
It/That - Darwin (TAWOG)
It/They - The Collector (TOH)
She/It - Velma (Scooby Doo)
She/Her - Melissa (Milo Murphy's Law)
She/They - Fluttershy (MLP)
They/Them - Stan (IT book + 1990 + 2017)
N/A - Dave/Evan/Chris/C.C./Crying Child (FNAF)
I don't think I missed any... but yeah this is my personal simple gender envy graph thing... yeah
I keep forgetting that when I was in like 4th grade I logged on to my switch to play with my friends and at the time I didn't have a mic so... ANYWAY- they guessed my gender and thought I was a boy and I just never had the time to type in the chat that they were wrong so I just dealt with it. But it like didn't bother me. In fact I kinda enjoyed it. And I was just like, "Hmmm, eh. I'm sure that's normal, and if it isn't then I'll just have older me look into it."
I wish I'd been able to find that one post about the person who procrastinated figuring out their sexuality because this story would go perfectly!
