Gender, schmender!

Personal gripe that's 100% a me problem so don't come at me, BUT it frustrates me whenever I see someone say that being non-binary makes you trans or that non-binary is a trans identity because like yes that is probably the case for many, even most, non-binary people but it's not for me. I'm non-binary but not trans. That's not a label I claim. Due to my specific life circumstances there is no sense of moving across genders. I know the people who say these things aren't intentionally invalidating my gender identity or lack thereof, but that's what it feels like and each time I have to remind myself not to take it personally. It's not exactly "competing representation needs" but it's somewhere in that area. Harrumph.

This past year I’ve been discovering a lot about my gender identity. I came out as gender-fluid, and I’ve been expressing that fluidity a lot more openly in public spaces and on the internet. I’ve also been encouraging others to use non-binary pronouns (they, them, their) as well as masculine pronouns (he, him, his) when appropriate. It’s been a lot of fun and quite self-affirming to be able to essentially play around with my own gender and gender expression.

As time is passing, I see my gender slowly evolving and deepening. I’ve been referring to myself as non-binary and genderqueer in addition to gender-fluid. More and more often, I feel as if I have no gender at all (agender), or that maybe I’m all genders at once (pangender). It’s confusing to be sure, but also liberating, because for the first time I feel free to express myself and experiment openly, and I have support from the people in my life.

I know labels are just that: labels. Some people say labels are for soup cans. I think it’s much more complicated than that. It’s certainly true that some people take labels too far, narrowing it down further and further and further, almost to the point of making it seem like we shouldn’t have labels at all since we’re all so unique. But labels are important too. They give people a sense of identity, as well as a sense of community. Putting a label on oneself can make a person feel secure, and I’m not going to lie, I’d really like that security.

No matter what, I am me. That will always be true. Still, I hope I can find the label that fits my identity best. I know I’m not transgender, and I know I’m not cisgender. I exist somewhere in-between, swirling around in that nebulous galaxy of genders without a box. Is it possible that I am all of these things at different times? Maybe sometimes I am agender, sometimes I am pangender, sometimes I am fluid, etc.? If you’re not a cookie cutter member of society (ie. the norm), it’s definitely harder to pin yourself down than you’d think.

I feel like right now, my gender is untapped potential, like the Pokémon Eevee. My gender could be anything, depending on how it’s nurtured and what I place on it. There are so many possibilities, so many outcomes, and they’re all amazing, so I don’t have to sweat it. I have no idea if my gender will turn out to be Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glacion, or even Sylveon. No matter what, I’m excited to continue this journey, and dig deeper into myself. For the time being, my label is a big fat question mark, and I am totally okay with that.

okay so my gender right now is “vato que se pinta las uñas” but it pains me a little that i’m never getting read as a vato que se pinta las uñas without changing a bunch of other things that i don’t really feel like changing about my presentation you know

[myriad--starlings]

what if I just didn't think I'm hot bc I want to be read as hot only when I'm masc

like I DON'T want to be hot/sexy when I'm presenting femme*, but I'm fine with it when I'm presenting masc. hm! lots to consider!

*this is not true of two other members of my system who very much want to be seen as hot when femme but they can do their thing
