#gender and transitioning and when their parents were like nooooo haha don’t transitionnnn I helped my kid do it all once they moved in w me

[justtogetthrough]

My step kid called me an egg yesterday and I wanted to be like “boy you don’t even know, I’ve been on a gender journey since my teens I just don’t fill anyone else in on it” lol. Thinks I’m ready to crack but they’re 15 years too late to me wondering what the fuck I am l o l

A little known fact I guess is I actually identify as genderfluid I just don’t care to let anyone know that because it’s not relevant to anything, including how I present or how people interact with me. E.g. no change in name or pronouns as I move through my own thang.

My step kid says I have hella non binary vibes and I nodded and went yeah that tracks, friendo sometimes refers to me as they/them and tbh I like that much better but I don’t care enough to actually ask people to change what they call me.

Is that me coming out to my kid? Lol. I’ve never even considered whether I’m out or not. I vibe with masculinity and femininity however I want and every couple years it changes and I just go with it and for the most part pronouns don’t bother me. There are certain gendered terms that do bother me but are infrequently used, and if particular people use them often I just ask them not to, and bam, good enough. It’s never occurred to me that I should tell people that inside it’s more complex than what they see.

I love Gen Z and their expansive but limited knowledge on LGBTQ things.

Me. An egg
