Hey, this is gonna be a generalized asking for advice ask, for you or anyone honestly.

So I'm genderfluid, specifically I lean more towards transmasc in general or neutral, but I do experience a full spectrum and so I do lean femme at times as well. I'm the only one of my friends who's gender shifts, most of my trans friends have more of a binary or at least a stable gender, so I figured asking other genderfluid people for their experiences or advice on going on hormones as a genderfluid person.

I've avoided taking hormones or doing any kind of medical gender affirming because my gender shifts pretty regularly and hormones are pretty constant and permanent, but I've noticed that I'm much more generalized towards transmasc and neutral end of things, so I've been considering it again.

Most of my concerns lie more in the worry that if I do start on hormones, because my gender does shift, that dysphoria will be higher if my physical forms shifts (like with facial hair for example) when I present as more femme or even neutral realmed than the dysphoria I get currently when I'm feeling incredibly masc because I have a small enough chest I can do things like bind very easily, but I will never not have dysphoria when in those more masc states even binding, because I appear very feminine in general physically. I'm short, I've got a really high pitched voice, I am not boxy in any manner, etc.

So I guess idk, I'm looking for maybe advice, maybe experiences from genderfluid people who do go on hormones and how they deal with the new dysphoria that might arise from that, or even transfems specifically who deal with the kind of dysphoria you experience when you physically present more masculine but feel much more femme.

I haven’t taken hormones (I also lean heavily toward masc, usually) but I’ve been wanting to.

But honestly, if you think it would help with dysphoria, do it. If you find yourself constantly like “Damn, I wish (trait) was more masc.” then do it.

because even if, say, you start feeling fem and thus dysphoric again, you can always use makeup and things (or whatever you associate with “fem”)

also, voice training helps a lot. But your throat might be sore when you start off.

what’s most important is feeling comfortable MOST of the time. Honestly, in my opinion, it’s impossible to be comfortable 100%—that’s just a price to pay with being genderfluid.

if anyone would like to add onto this—especially those who have taken hormones—it would be greatly appreciated!

I find it curious, as an ace person that there is a joke related to cakes because my hobby is baking and pastries.

I should have taken it as some sign about me long time ago 😅

Hey!

So, while I am a transmasc genderfluid person myself, I've never actually been on hormones, though I've certainly wanted that. However, I'll share what I've personally been considering for myself, and maybe it will be helpful to you.

Something I would consider is going on a pretty small dose of T. This is called microdosing. Many people who microdose are nonbinary and have the goal of looking more androgynous. This could be helpful because someone who looks androgynous can still take steps in their presentation to look more masculine or feminine. This method can still have effects that could cause dysphoria for when you have a more fem gender, though, so I would do some research into this.

If anyone else has any advice, please add it in a comment or reblog! I'm also interested to see what other people recommend.

Good luck and stay safe 💚

my personal fave "luffy holds a mirror up to someone's soul" moments. aka the whole point i think

[genderfluid-culture-iss]

Does anyone else's gender/sexuality seem to change based on the relationship they're in? Like if dating a woman I think of myself more in terms of womanhood even while still participating and acting masc and I usually start to identify as purely sapphic instead of bi, and if I date someone masc/a man I usually end up like doing the opposite and almost strictly identifying as a gay man, and I naturally think of myself more strictly in terms of masculine, especially in my head. Idk, is this something others experience?

I’ve done this too. I had a 3 year long relationship with my (now ex) girlfriend (who was a cis woman) and I identified heavily as a woman (was originally cis when with her but later identified as genderfluid while with her) and still felt mostly female.

after we broke up (I’m single currently) I began to slide into a more masc side. Now it changes just whenever.

Thinking abt Ace Attorney Social media HCs

Phoenix: Technologically illiterate, doesn’t really know what social media is or how to use it and refuses to learn because the longer he keeps up the bit the funnier it gets

Edgeworth: Doesn’t particularly care for social media, but found out about tumblr through Maya and now has an anonymous Steel Samurai account. His tagging system is meticulous and he has all notifications turned off. He treats it like he does office work. He and Maya are mutuals. Doesn’t have a personal account to speak of

Maya: Runs a semi-popular canon url pink princess and steel samurai fan tumblr. Also has a personal Instagram that’s mostly her eating burgers

Pearl: Didn’t have social media for a long time because of Morgan, but Maya introduced her and she has a very inactive private Instagram. She’s also in charge of the Kurain Village socials, which are very neat and professional

Mia: Was technologically illiterate and died before the social media boom was completely inescapable so nada

Diego: Socials weren’t as big before he fell into a coma and afterwards he doesn’t care too much about his image so he has nothing. HOWEVER, Maya started a twitter called “dead philosopher wisdom” that’s just random Diegoisms. He’s doing NUMBERS on there but is unaware of it because he doesn’t use twitter

Franziska: Knows how social media works because she needs it for her job but doesn’t use it very often. Her account has like 2 posts on it and she mostly uses it to keep track of targets and online paper trails

Kay: Runs an instagram account called “Edgeworth where he shouldn’t be” that’s nothing but silly and embarrassing candids of Edgeworth. Oldbag won’t stop messaging her asking who she is and how she’s getting these pictures

Apollo: Has a twitter with two followers that he uses to retweet and comment on legal academia news. He’s super active on all the law forums and legal advice columns and unfortunately has definitely posted on r/AskALawyer on mutliple occasions. His real claim to fame, though, is the anonymous Instagram he runs for his cat Mikeko. It’s called “The Pawsecutor’s Office” and he dresses up Mikeko like all the prosecutors (Miles Edgepurrth, Clawvier Gavin, Franziska Von Catma, etc) for photoshoots and silly skits. It’s wildly popular and Apollo would die if he were revealed to be behind it

Klavier: Super popular across all platforms and loves being silly online. If Edgeworth saw all the thirst traps he was posting he would prolly have a heart attack

Kristoph: Has a very minimal personal account for professional reasons but his REAL online footprint is the dozens of alternate accounts he uses to cyberstalk people and send his brother hate mail

Athena: Perfectly normal social media user. Has personal accounts that she posts to occasionally with cute photos of what she’s doing. The only person using it correctly

Trucy: Insanely popular on socials for her magic act. Knows how to market herself online better than anyone. She has a smaller personal account where she occasionally posts silly things about the WAA

Blackquill: Ran an edgy anime Tumblr for years before his incarceration and was posting on AO3 a lot. He comes back after his release explaining the break between chapters of his latest fanfiction was due to him being put on death row for seven years and continues posting normally with no mention of his prison sentence ever again. When he finally posts another AMV it’s a joyous day indeed
