We went to this friend’s housewarming on Saturday and this adorable little French girl was totally enamoured by me. She was asking questions about gender (she wanted to make sure I was a girl, because I have a deep voice) so I told her ‘when I was little they told me I was a boy’ and she was outraged. ‘But they can tell!’ She exclaimed. I told her ‘yes they looked at my body and told me I was a boy’.. And then she asked ‘tu as un zizi?’ (’do you have a willy?’) and I said ‘yes’.

Her mind.

Was blown.

‘But it’s obvious you’re a girl! You have earrings and long hair!’

She then asked me if I had a lover and I said ‘yes, several’. Ooh she loved that.

She went on to say she loved my blue eyes and we spent the evening listing all the words she knew in English and all the words I knew in French. In the end she decided I knew 32 things in French. Not bad.

It was a marvellous night,

who could ask for more.

I'm kinda debating with myself on whether im nonbinary or not. So can we get some main 6 headcanons for when MC starts questioning their own gender? Thanks! Hope those commission work out but I have no money to give.

I hope your gender journey (journder? gendey?) is going well anon!

Asra

Join the fucking club

Gender is fake, existence is a curse, life is a party, and he’s the pinata

Asra is down for whatever pronouns you wanna be called, whatever works for you is what he’ll call you

Objectively, it’s not that big a deal to him, considering “gender and sexuality” aren’t really that big of a thing in Vesuvia (so it seems, at least) but if it’s a big deal to you, you best believe he’s gonna be celebrating like it’s the masquerade

Nadia

That’s cool. She’s a rational mind, talking to you about what you want, what you need

She’s there for you. Need a binder? Gotcha. Prefer one gender-oriented clothing style over the next? Already being shipped. Prefer clothing without gender? We got it

She’s not too fussed about it. She just wants you to be happy

She also wants you to be comfortable in your own skin

Julian

He probably makes a big deal about it, hugging you and crying and talking about how amazing it is

He just likes the excuse to hug you, to be honest

He’s cool with it, honestly, the idea of you changing your pronouns or gender or both

He’ll totally start introducing you to everyone you meet as his “date mate”

Muriel

Okay. It’s that simple. He’ll start calling you by your preferred pronouns, if they change

Like I said, gender isn’t as big a deal in Veusvia as it is here, and is probably even less of a deal to Muriel.

But if it’s a big thing with you, he’ll…attempt to be more enthusiastic

No promises, though. He might make you a flower crown. Maybe.

Portia

soft queen is literally bouncing off the walls for you

She’s so happy, and is happy to walk through your gendourney with you

She calls it that religiously and refuses to call it anything other than a mashup of the two

“Genourney…gendourney…jounrder…journder…hmmm….gendourney!”

Lucio

Ol goat boi treats gender like deciding between a new pair of shoes.

He’s cool with whatever pair you wanna wear for the day, if it changes or if it stays the same when you decide

You’re still his schnookums, his love, his very reason for existence, and nothing is gonna change that

But do help him decide on what shoes he’ll wear for the day, please? The stilettos will kill him by the end of the day, but they’re so…aesthetic

When dan said feeling no attachment whatsoever to his assigned gender means he's cis... 15 yo me

Deed poll underway. Getting a name change for real. Oh my god.

Fucking Eddie Izzard man! Yes! I love his description of being boyish and girlish together and the fact that he describes himself as a transgender man but with a bit of woman. What a human ~ <3

Well that was a fucking fab night. Took myself to dinner at a super fancy restaurant and ate octopus for the first time then went to Café ‘t Madje, the oldest gay pub in the Netherlands and one of the first in the world. Spent the night chatting away to two older trans women about what gender is. They bought me a drink and walked me halfway back to the hostel to make sure I was okay. Beautiful people beautiful Amsterdam ~ <3

I think I experienced proper dysmorphia today and it was weird..?

It was so fucking weird I just felt really wrong and I couldn’t work out why and it might have been something to do with my clothes or my body or the fact that I was on a date with someone who didn’t know all my gender stuff I’ve just no idea but I felt really uncomfortable in my body and my face and how I was looking and it was only when I got home that I thought about some kind of social/body dysmorphia as a possibility.. That was really really weird. I did not expect that.

Shaved my legs as an experiment this morning, that took forever.
