#i am a boy

[fyeahpurpleponies]

I've been rethinking a lot about my gender identity lately. My mother and my friends of the family know I'm non binary and go by any pronouns and they respect that but... I haven't felt she/her in a really long time. For a while, I given up correcting people when they would call me she instead of them or him. I was born a female and it's been hard for years to adapt until finally I found out about the non binary/genderfluid/transgender community. And it really had me open up to everything I never knew or was taught to be. And that's not my mother's fault. People assume the parent(s) won't accept you but that's not all true.

My mom loves me for who I am and I'm so thankful to have a mother like her and a best friend.

But now... I feel more comfortable as a boy. Does that make me trans now? I looked up so many things on transgender male advice. (Don't know how to word this, so I'm sorry if I offend anyone) there are no rules in be NB and only identifying as a he/him/they persuasion. But I feel I'm transformed then anything. I've been battling with being a girl for a REALLY long time and I only came out as non binary 2 years ago.

The real question is: is it too quick to come out as a trans man?

Kinda ironic considering I've never liked boys but deep down I was just jealous I never was born as one lol

I'm also worried that no one is gonna take me seriously if I do come out as trans and people, including mom who is still learning my pronouns, will still call me she/her... I hate correcting people, but at the same time I just want to scream "STOP CALLING ME MA'AM!! IM A BOY!!"

Also, I don't want to take T, but I can still be trans, right? Testosterone is not required for a trans guy. I just want to feel comfortable and take step by step. I'm still unsure about everything and don't want the people I love to dislike me, but that won't be true because if they accepted me as NB, then they can accept as trans.

I don't want to beat myself up about this. As long as I'm comfortable in my body, that's what matters.

I am a boy

Summary: Ellie Potter comes out as trans to James and Lily Potter (340 words)

Written for @thegobletofweasleys' Jily Week

Day 3: Fuck JKR day

James sipped his tea and tilted his head, looking at his new sketch on his graphic tablet. Lily was sitting beside him, her head buried in one of her books. They were having a quiet evening in the living room when Ellie came bounding down the stairs and stopped in front of them. James looked over his glasses curiously as she dragged a chair and sat down, eyes flying nervously between the two of them.

“I have something to tell you,” she said.

Me: why wasn't I born a boy

[i-may-be-an-emu]

I think this time I've figured it out.

Im boyflux.

I've been thinking I was genderfluid and just like never a girl for so long, but its actually that I'm a trans guy that's gender is tired and only half awake sometimes.

(Love y'all genderfluid folk tho <3)

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

I’m just sick of myself

[hatchedbirb]

Had an epiphany earlier that went “Oh wait. I can be a boy JUST BECAUSE I SAY I AM.” Which sounds really basic, but when you’re in the middle of your gender crisis, all of a sudden basic shit gets really profound.

I am a boy because I say so. I don’t have to take T, or get top surgery, or do anything else, and I still get to be a boy. A real boy. A ME boy. The kind of boy that feels good to me. I am not obligated to be a boy in a way that makes other people comfortable; I’ve never been a GIRL in a way that makes other people comfortable, so why would being a boy be any different?

Brilliant queer Femme Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha wrote in the Femme Shark Manifesto:

“WE’RE ONLY ‘INVISIBLE’ IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOOK FOR US.”

That resonated for me, and for so many of the Femmes at the FemmeCon in 2009. Femmes are so often not seen in their queerness. Often it is only seen in context of their more butch or masc-presenting partners. Femmes don’t need—should not need—someone else (particularly a masc, afab, queer-coded person) in order to be read as, or seen as, legitimately queer. And yet, that’s still so common. Femmes “pass” for straight women ALL THE TIME. And it feels like shit, to constantly walk through the world visibly Doing Your Gender, and to have it be completely invisible to others.

My boyness is like this. The problem isn’t that my boyness isn’t there, it’s that some people don’t know how to see it. My boyness is legit, even if they can’t or won’t see it. Their failure to see me is not my problem to solve, because it’s not about them. It’s about ME. And yeah, there are things that I could do to help them see it, and maybe I’ll decide to to those things at some point, but I don’t OWE anyone else my discomfort to make them see it, to make them see this boy that I am.

I can be a sweet boy. A sensitive boy. A boy who cries. A boy who adores his friends and will fucking cut you if you hurt them. A boy who brings his friends small, shiny treasures, like a crow. A boy who sings soprano. A boy who wears dresses and bold colors. A femme boy. A fat boy. A funny boy. A pretty boy. A salty boy. A boy who may not ever be able to grow any facial hair is still a boy. A boy who may not ever want to grow into a man, but is still real in his boyness.

I AM A BOY. I am a boy because I say so. I’m only invisible if you don’t know how to look for me.
