I wanna talk about my FNAFsona, Berli Honeybear, for a second...
Berli used to be a Toy Freddy animatronic. She somehow developed a close relationship with a Fazbear Entertainment engineer who was able to give her a full makeover into a female bear character, at her insistence (kinda like Mettaton and Alphys from Undertale). Berlinde Honeybear, or Berli for short, is a sweet and motherly bear who is strongly protective of children, and she's very proud of how pretty and cute she currently looks.
Berli hates adults who purposefully hurt kids, even if it's something as simple as using corporal punishment on a child. If Berli sees a child being hurt... or worse... she takes on a more monstrous form (which I have yet to design) and kills the perpetrator. Apparently, the engineer who helped give Berli her new body coded her killing protocol as well... why, and to what end, is anyone's guess.
Because Berli was once a Toy Freddy, she has Toy Freddy's love of video games and is fiercely competitive. She has the high scores on all the arcade machines at her restaurant location and will get upset if someone manages to beat any of them.
Berli is otherwise genuinely kind, empathetic, and fun-loving. The only thing she loves more than games are parties, and she loves being the ultimate party hostess. She even has two small confetti cannons stored somewhere on her body that she normally shoots when singing the Fazbear Birthday song, as part of the finale.
That's all I've got for now. Just felt like sharing!

an unfortunate part of my genderfluidity/multigenderness is its fundamental skittishness. if you've ever put oil in water it's like that. hydrophobic ass gender. you cannot use any definite or indefinite labels in any direction at all. if some poor well-meaning schmuck calls me a girl it'll say im not a girl and inject me with the dysphoria poison. if someone says im not a girl it'll say i am and inject me with the dysphoria poison. if someone says im only kinda sorta a girl it'll say i am a girl fuck you and inject me with the dysphoria poison. etc etc rinse and repeat with every singular gender identity. it's so stupid. i'll be like im a big strong man >:) and my friends'll be like yeah you're a man and i'll be like well......... no........... not really...... you just don't understand............. no one understands............. and no one even sees me accurately it's so depressing................ i should stop going outside forever and ever..................... like god dude i know it's annoying but i can't help it. you are doing your best because you love me but unfortunately my gender is a free little butterfly that disintegrates when you try to pin it down i don't fucking know. inconvenient little faggot shit happening in my brain all the goddamn time. lord have mercy
#like 'oh how do i know how to refer to you when? :)' the answer is if you refer to me i won't like it and if you don't i wont like it either#hope that helps :/#IT'S NOT HELPFUL. I DID NOT CHOOSE THIS. WE ARE BOTH HOSTAGES ON THIS DOWN WITH CIS BUS MY BRAIN IS DRIVING#I AM SO SORRY THIS IS A NO-WIN SITUATION. I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT OKAY. SORRY 😬😬😬#don't get me wrong i love being genderfluid i love being multigender but sometimes i gotta ask WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME#i can say whatever i want about my gender but if anyone else says anything about it at all including repeating things i have said about it i#will feel so so bad for no reason. why

okay so to preface i know this might sound like a troll or something. i’m not joking i am genuinely asking this question.
do you think it’s okay for someone to identify as butch, like as a gender term, without really being attracted to women?
i’m approximately a trans man and attracted entirely, as far as i know, to men and masc-aligned nonbinary people (i simplify things to gay trans guy when talking to cishets). and the term butch really feels like it describes me in terms of gender, but there’s the elephant in the room that like. i don’t like women. and idk i’ve gotten mixed answers on whether it would be like disrespectful/appropriative to use that word to describe my gender when i am, essentially, a gay man. so i wanted to ask your two cents idk. so so sorry this ask is so long 😭
yep that's okay!
butch literally just means "queer masculinity"- the term originally was coined by gay men in a conlang used between each other for safety called "Polari," and was used to in reference to masculine gays. the term was quickly adopted by the lesbian community and even other communities. butch doesn't have any requirements except being a queer masculine person. your attraction and even your gender identity don't have anything to do with that or have any way of possibly changing it
i get this question literally all the time so i don't mind answering it. if someone tells you that you HAVE to be a lesbian or a woman to be a butch, they're a rad fem. that information is not correct, not only in theory, but in practice. there are countless people across queer history who have identified as butch who are not lesbians or even attracted to women. you can be butch and bi, you can be butch and asexual and aromantic, you can be butch and be gay, you can be butch and anything else as long as you're a queer masculine person
white rad fems love to assert that "butch" belongs to women and the lesbian community but that's literally historically inaccurate. whenever someone tells you this, they are proudly and loudly regurgitating rad fem believes without second thought. rad fems are obsessed with claiming that certain terms belong to lesbians "only" and trying to cull anyone who isn't a woman out of """their""" community.
many trans men and mascs identify as butches. many gay men identify as butches. many bisexual, asexual, aromantic, non binary, genderqueer, genderfluid and GNC people identify as butches. butch has nothing to do with one's attraction or sexual orientation, it is about one's gender and/or presentation. hope that helps! take care, feel free to ask any more questions you may have

AITA for refusing to ask my partner for permission before talking about my bottom surgery plans/bottom dysphoria?
I am genuinely at a loss on if my reaction was wrong or not. I can see why I may be TA, but I tend to be very adamant about my moral beliefs, and my partner tends to suppress his needs and people-please, so I need some second opinions.
I (23 FTX/FTM) identify as a genderfluid nonbinary man. I am pre-surgery of any kind. i enjoy penetration and don't mind having a vagina, but feel dysphoria because of the lack of a phallic appendage. I plan on eventually getting a metoidioplasty with a urethoplasty, but without a vaginectomy/scrotoplasty. i consider my ideal genital configuration to be what some call "salmacian."
as of VERY recently, i was unaware of anything aside from a complete phalloplasty being possible- due mostly to the way transmasculine bottom surgery is widely regarded as disgusting and mutilation, and rarely discussed openly without shame. learning about the existence of these procedures has given me an incredible amount of hope and joy, knowing i can achieve a GNC body i love.
my partner (24M) is, for the most part, extremely supportive of my transition goals and identity. we have been dating for about 2 years- when we first met, i told him i did not plan on getting any bottom surgery because i would be satisfied with bottom growth, and do not want a full phalloplasty. since learning about meta, my plans have changed.
when discussing the possibility of getting bottom surgery, he told me that he thinks phallo looks gross, and would not be okay having sex with me if i decided to get a phalloplasty. i found that upsetting, but told him that i still do not want a cis-confirming body, and explained the difference between phallo and meta. he said he would be fine with that, but im still upset at his reaction to even mentioning bottom surgery at all.
since that discussion, i have been talking often and excitedly about my newfound bottom surgery plans. like i said, it has given me so much joy to learn that there is an alternative to phallo, and i want to express that joy around my partner. however, he has asked me to ask him if it's okay to talk about anything regarding genitals before bringing it up.
i asked him why he needs me to ask for permission, and he told me that he finds all genitalia disgusting when not in the context of sex, and that it makes him uncomfortable when i bring it up unprompted. i find this upsetting as well. i strongly believe in the destigmatization of ALL body parts, especially transgender bodies. i believe that genitalia is just as neutral of a body part as an arm or a leg, and that any discomfort with body parts is the responsibility of the person uncomfortable to cope with and work through, and not something that should be censored. i find having to ask permission to talk about my transgender body to be censorship and transphobic. i refused to ask for permission first, and told him that he should work through his discomfort with the human body instead.
I may be TA because- i am refusing to respect a boundary.
He may be TA because- not all "boundaries" are equal. just like asking two gay people to not kiss in public without asking permission because it makes you uncomfortable would be a homophobic boundary, i find that asking your transgender partner to not talk about his bottom dysphoria/surgery plans without permission is a transphobic boundary.

rebirth — a pride month oneshot
pairing: genderfluid!javi gutierrez/ofc/reader (written in 3rd pov) rating: T word count: 2k content: javi uses hey/they pronouns, coming out, discussions of gender identity, mentions of misgendering and worries about being cast out/attacked for one's identity (doesn't actually happen), reader is only referred to as "she", google translate spanish, spanish pet names (used by both javi and reader), if i missed anything lmk! dividers: by @saradika-graphics beta: @qveerthe0ry and @scenaaario ily both ♥
summary: javi has been wanting to let his partner know something for a long time. in fact, this is something that javi has thought about for their entire life, and they're comfortable enough to finally say it.
a/n: written as a part of @romanarose 's pride event for week 1: coming out! i wanted to try something a little different and i hope you'll give it a try ♥
for any future fics, follow @oakslibrary and turn on notifications ♥
They were both in the living room, the credits for their weekly movie rolling in front of them. Javi had been wanting to tell her this for a while now. If they didn’t get it out now, he was sure he never would.
“I believe I am… trans,” Javi said into the quiet room, gaze fixed to the floor.
She blinked, shifting her attention from Instagram and letting his admission settle over her. Javi curled in on himself, still unable to meet her gaze. She locked her phone and set it down on the coffee table, giving Javi her complete attention.
“Oh?” She asked quietly.
Javi closed his eyes briefly and nodded, hands balled into fists against his knees. “Y-yes, I,” he gulped. “Um. I feel… Inside. I feel it inside.”
She had no personal experience in any of this before, but Javi was coming to her in confidence. Javi trusted her with this side of… them? Him? Her? She really wasn’t sure which applied to Javi at this point.
She nodded, considering. “H-have you, um,” she gulped. “What brought you to that… conclusion? I’m sorry, osito, I’m… I’m new to,” she gestured vaguely, but stopped in case that came off as dismissive. “I’m not sure what I should say.”
Javi finally turned to her, huffing out a laugh and wiping his eyes. They grabbed their love’s hand and held it gently in their own.
“I am sorry,” he said softly. “I just sort of… sprung this on you, but. It has been on my mind a lot lately.”
She nodded, urging Javi to continue.
“I did not have the language that is available now, as I was growing up. I’m not sure if I’m… I do not believe I am a woman, but,” Javi paused, looking down at their clasped hands.. She squeezed their hand reassuringly, and Javi squeezed back. “Masculinity is… fragile.”
She snorted at that, making Javi laugh a little as well.
“Well, it is, but you know what I’m saying,” Javi giggled.
“I do.”
“I have always felt disconnected with masculinity. There were so many things men were supposed to do, to be,” Javi sighed. “I never felt like I– Like I was one of those people.”
“Should I–” she started, but fell quiet. “Sorry, I don’t want to interrupt you, osito,” she said softly, rubbing her thumb across his cheek. Javi leaned into the touch, and gave a small shake of his head.
“Por favor, pregunta.”
“How should… Is there a name more fitting for you now? Or new… pronouns?”
Javi bit their lip, thinking about it. “I like my name,” they said easily. “And… I think I like ‘they’?” Javi shrugged. “It is still new for me as well.”
She giggled softly and leaned closer to press her forehead to theirs “That’s okay. We can… We’re in this together, mi osito.”
Javi’s cheeks flushed. They nodded, steeling themself for their next announcement. “I, um. I was wondering if you could… help me?”
She leaned back to look at him, eyes questioning. “Of course, amor. Whatever you need.”
“Um, I purchased some… clothes and makeup and I was wondering if you could help me put some outfits together?” He rushed out shyly.
She beamed, excited at the idea of helping her love explore something they’d always wanted to.
“It’s just–” Javi gulped. “You always look so put together and pretty and–” “Javi,” she chuckled, taking his face in both hands. “I’d love to help you.”
The smile on Javi’s face could rival the sun.
Javi Gutierrez, he/they, discovered the word “genderfluid” a few months later. He liked that word, but it made everything all the more real. He knew that things were changing, but his mind was filled with brand new anxieties. He worried about being disrespected in meetings with studio executives, being misgendered, blacklisted, or even worse, a target.
For now, at least, he kept his identity private. Only his love, and immediate team were aware. To others, Javi was just a little adventurous when it came to fashion.
Ever since coming out to their partner, they’d gotten really good at applying their own eyeliner and lipstick, always a pretty neutral color that complimented his skin tone beautifully. Having lived in Mallorca most of his life, his wardrobe was already full of color, and he never shied away from the more “feminine” colors. Who knew wearing a pink suit would cause such a stir?
Some days they felt more masculine, and other days he felt more feminine. When they felt somewhere in the middle, they got to play around with some androgyny. The freedom to just… be was such a weight lifted off his shoulders. There were no restrictions to what they could do anymore. No pressures to act or look or be a certain way.
Javi was just… Javi.
And right now, Javi was nervous, but excited.
“Mi amor, look! What do you think? Do you think it is too much for the luncheon?” Javi asked brightly, twirling a little in their shared closet.
She gave him a once over and felt her heart flutter at just how happy Javi looked. She’d always had her suspicions about Javi, especially the longer they’d been together. Javi always carried themself a little… differently than most men. She understood now that it was because Javi wasn’t like most men. Or even a man at all. Well, not really, anyway.
“I love the color... but it may be a little too short,” Javi pouted, nervously tugging at the hem of the skirt.
“Oh, it’s perfect, mi osito,” she grinned, stepping closer to them. “However,” she started, biting her lip as she gave him another look. Javi’s eyes widened and their cheeks flushed. “I think you should wear your knee high socks with it. Balance it out a little.”
“Are you sure?” Javi blinked owlishly. They looked into the full length mirror turning first to the left, then right, assessing the outfit. He had chosen a matching set in a soft lavender, the delicate shade perfect against his golden skin. The tennis skirt made his ass look fantastic, and the polo shirt hugged his biceps perfectly, showing off his broad shoulders. The strip of skin that peeked out between the two pieces was an added bonus. “I haven’t worn anything this… obvious to this sort of meeting before.”
“What do you want to do, honey? I think you’ll look beautiful whatever you decide to wear,” she smiled, coming up behind them to wrap her arms around their waist. She kissed their shoulder comfortingly, nuzzling into the soft fabric.
Javi bit his lip as he turned in the mirror again. “I love the skirt. I love how it feels, but… Perhaps it is too casual? No quiero ser poco profesional.”
She hummed in understanding. “Maybe the earrings? The new ones,” she offered instead.
The tiny silver hoops with small crystals in the colors of the genderfluid flag were more delicate than Javi usually wore. The gender euphoria he would feel during the luncheon far outweighed the subtlety of the jewelry.
“Good idea,” Javi smiled, turning in her arms to cup her face and kiss her tenderly. She hummed happily into it, keeping her hands on their hips. As he pulled away, Javi’s eyes softened at her blissful expression. “I am not sure what I did to deserve you, but… I’m not complaining,” he chuckled softly.
Her heart thudded in her chest. She felt the exact same way. It would take a little time for her to get used to all the complexities and nuances of Javi’s gender, but she was willing to put in the work. She loved him, loved them for exactly the person Javi was.
“Perhaps I should not question it too much, hm?” Javi winked, then pressed a kiss to her forehead.
“Probably for the best,” she winked back. “Now, go get dressed so I can take you out later, ok?”
Javi smiled brightly and nodded, parting from her to get changed.
“I am nervous, mi amor,” Javi whispered, clutching her hand tightly in his own.
“You’ll be just fine. And you’ve got me here with you,” she grinned, and gave him a light peck on the cheek. “Don’t want to mess up your makeup,” she said, rubbing an invisible smudge off his highlighted cheekbone and winking.
Javi exhaled a heavy breath, eyes fluttering shut as he centered himself. “Alright. Press record, por favor.”
“Hola mis amigos,” they said shakily. "I have… I have something I’ve been meaning to share with all of you.” As nervous as Javi was, there was an undeniable determination in their eyes.
To say Javi’s coming out video went viral would be an understatement. Javi Gutierrez, screenplay writer and part-time producer, famed for working with the likes of Nicolas Cage, was coming out as genderfluid. It was on every news article and Twitter account for weeks.
Javi expected there to be mixed reactions, but the only opinions that they really cared about were from the people they’d be working with directly. His team had known for a long time, and they’d been out to themself for two years. They were sufficiently comfortable in this identity, and if he lost out on certain jobs, they weren’t worth having in the first place.
He did a few interviews after his initial coming out video, but made it clear that they didn’t want this to be something he had to talk about in every interview going forward. Yes, he was genderfluid, but it wasn’t the only thing.
Thankfully, lots of Javi’s celebrity friends were on his side. Every new set he worked on, he heard encouraging words from the cast and crew. A co-star who’s brand hinged on being very feminine, said Javi’s video unlocked a lot of feelings they had been trying to repress. One of the lighting guys, a man who could have passed for a member of the Hell’s Angels, quietly asked him for makeup recommendations while blocking a close-up shot. He worried about the people who wouldn’t be supportive, until he realized he had so many people in his corner that the bigots didn’t matter.
And above all else, he had her. She accepted them for who they were and even if she had questions or didn’t understand something, she made it a point to ask or do her own research.
Javi had never felt so seen. So respected.
And here, laying in her arms, head resting on her chest, they felt protected and loved.
“Your hair is getting long, mi osito,” she hummed quietly, twirling an errant curl around her finger.
“Sí, quería ver cómo quedaría,” Javi muttered, lifting their head and resting their chin on her stomach. He made eye contact with her, getting lost in the color of her eyes. “I have always wanted to know how I looked with long hair.”
“Oh, I’m sure it’ll be gorgeous, mi amor. These curls of yours,” she sighed wistfully.
Javi swayed their head from side to side, those curls bouncing and dancing along the tops of his shoulders. “You have said how much you love them,” Javi giggled.
“Well, it’s the truth. Maybe we can get some things to put in it once it’s even longer,” she offered, smiling softly.
Javi’s eyes grew wide and he sat up, on the bed, legs tucked under his backside. They were wearing a pale blue silk nightie that hugged their thighs and accentuated their shoulders beautifully. She couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“I would love that!” Javi exclaimed excitedly.
“Then it shall be so,” she grinned, playing with the bottom hem of the nightie they were wearing. She gazed up at him through her lashes, taking in the sharp angle of his cupid’s bow and full bottom lip. “When do you need to wake up, mi amor?”
Javi’s breath hitched as her fingers crept underneath the silk and across his thighs, and his gaze dropped to the smooth column of her neck. Their eyes met as he crawled over her to straddle her lap.
“Not early,” he hummed, “Did you have plans for this evening?” They asked mischievously, leaning in to tease open mouthed kisses across her collarbone.
“Maybe,” she sighed, reaching around to squeeze his ass, bare under the nightie.
“Good,” Javi smiled, leaning down to kiss her deeply, hungrily. She moaned into their mouth, relaxing as they found a comfortable rhythm.
And that’s just how it was for them. They were in sync. Javi had a feeling they always would be.
a/n: if you're curious to know what sort of nightie javi is wearing, this is what i was picturing ♥

Welcome to my blog
my name is sawyer, i am a hyena and ungulate cladotherian (cervidae, bovidae, cetacea), and a wolf kithtype. i am genderfluid and use she/him pronouns and my boyfriend is @melonthemelon27. i have been awakened since 2018 and my blog revolves around my experiences with therianthropy and my physical alterhumanity! my blog is open to all alterhumans and questions/asks. id love to meet other therians with experiences similar to mine, though I'm always open to new ideas and insight. ill also share some of my own art relating to theriotypes or my fursona x)
About me
i am autistic and a huge interest of mine has always been animals. before I discovered therianthropy, I called myself a wolf and associated animals with my identity. since discovering I was alterhuman, animals since then have always been a huge part of my self-discovery as I feel disconnected from humans besides zoology, another interest of mine is entomology! i own a few insects as pets, including a giant asian mantis and darkling beetles. I'm hoping to own more after college though. i also love game scoring, specifically the bloodborne and shadow of the colossus soundtracks, and I love media such as wolfquest, animal jam, resident evil, and saw!
besides being a therian, i am also heavily spiritual and very into daemonism. my daemon is a brown hyena named fenner (she/her) that is a representation of my soul. I'm also a (sfw) pet regressor and very into objectum, though I don't post about it as often on here as I have a separate blog for it. dni list : ummmm dont be mean or discriminatory! i am very open to other ideas, besides hate, because I use this blog as a safe space. I'm okay with paraphiles and kink-related blogs, so long as everything is consensual

On being an (ex)detransitioner.
I wanna talk about being a detransitioner. I have detransitioned. And I have retransitioned. I am finally a month back on T. I go by they/he pronouns again.
It feels really nice to say that I have detransitioned. I don't think what happened in this blog was just a kink. I have actually lived my life as a she/they for half a year, and went off T for a year. Even if it wasn't for last year, I have been in the detrans community for around 4 years now, and occasionally go through wanting to have a 24/7 detrans plays. I would argue those 4 years were detransition experiences for me too, although they're mostly done out of "it is just a kink".
I am glad this year happened, it was a necessary step for me, but I have been too ashamed to consider this as an actual detransition. The word "detransition" feels so dirty, like I betrayed the trans community, like if I went through a detransition then I am just another confused cis girl, and another statistic for TERFs to use against trans people, that I don't deserve to be a trans man anymore. But the thing is that I am just a queer trans man with a detransition experience. (Actually I've detransitioned 2.5 times through out my life.)
Would I stay detransitioned? no. this has been fun, but i don't think I am truly, authentically myself when I am a she/her. I feel most myself when I'm they/he.
I relate to this post a lot a lot. Gender Fuckery [Very Long, "Detrans/Retrans" Experience] I lived resembling a cis girl, then I transitioned into a binary trans man. Then I discovered I am non-binary and lived that way for years. Then I detransitioned into being a queer cis-girl (that really looks like a trans fem) again, on my own terms. Then I realized I am genderfluid, and now I am living as an enby and a queer man.
For those who are using detrans kink to cope with their gender confusion, it's okay to detransition outside of kink. It's okay to have your detransition be as big and as small as you want. It's okay to be a trans masc with a detrans experience. You can always come back. There is no rush.
There are a lot of experiences in detransitioning that I still don't know how to put into words. But I need a title to describe what happened. So this is me hoping to claim the term "detransitioner"/"ex-detransitioner", and to take away the shame of detransitioning (temporarily or permanently).
Sending you guys lots of love 🤍💖

I've been thinking a lot about gender identity and stuff lately, but to my shame I’m not the most educated person when it comes to lgbt related stuff. Every time I try to search it to learn more I end up freaking out and clearing my browsing history because of the feeling of being watched. I know I’m being unreasonable, but it’s stronger than me. I don’t have anyone to ask about this kind of stuff. Everyone around me is negative about lgbt, I grew up among this negativity. I’m afraid to ask my online friends because I don’t want to seem ignorant or stupid. What have I decided to do? Send an anonymous ask to a stranger about my concerns (sorry about that), whose blog helped me to accept the fact that I might not be who I though I was at the first place. It feels more safe. Back to the point.
As a teen I used she/they pronouns and a different gender-neutral name online for years. I still do it as an adult and now I realise that “she” was more like a compromise for me because it was what I used to be referred as for my whole life, but didn’t feel quite comfortable with. So it’s they/them for me, I guess. Okay. I’ve always preferred to not be related to any gender, but now I see that there’s more to it. I might be a nonbinary, but what if I’m actually an agender? I also consider the possibility of being a genderfluid because one moment I wear a dress and think that it looks good, and the other moment I cry in front of a mirror because of the idea of wearing it. So yeah, it depends on my mood. I don’t know how it works. I’m just so confused. The only thing I know that I’m not comfortable with being referred to as a female anymore. I’ve never really been.
Admittedly, as someone who is binary trans, I do not have a lot of knowledge in this area. I do know what it’s like to not know what you’re “supposed to be” though. And I know it can be frustrating and scary to be lost in trying to figure out your own identity.
I asked some of my friends, who are nonbinary and genderfluid themselves, and the first thing we all have to say is you should allow yourself more kindness. I am sorry that you grew up around so much negativity. But I want you to know that it’s both okay to feel afraid but also okay to not know everything. If a friend is going to treat you badly for asking questions, they’re not a very good friend.
One of my friends says the part you said about “making compromises” resonated a lot with them a lot, so you aren’t alone there. As for how you feel in a dress, clothes do not equal gender. You can like how you look in a dress without any of it having to do with girl-ishness. I suggest you try to think about why you like it when you do, and why you don’t when you don’t. My friends also suggested trying other clothes you can express yourself with. Think about why you like them, or why you don’t like them. (Of course, sometimes the answer has nothing to do with gender. I like athletic clothing because they make me look sporty, which is a neutral thing. But it’s good to know what parts aren’t related to gender at all too.) That extends beyond clothes too, any part of your presentation that you think you can play with without getting yourself into danger, you should.
It’s tempting to feel like you have to scramble to figure out a label. Especially when advice and other people you can talk to can feel sort of “grouped” under them. And there’s a lot of knowledge to be gained that way for sure. But there’s a lot of knowledge to be gained just in figuring out what you do and don’t like. What makes you feel bad, what makes you feel at ease, what makes you super excited. You‘ve got it nailed down that you don’t like being called a female, that’s not a bad start!
If your friends are people you think are good and kind, I would suggest reaching out to them so that you can explore things a little more with them, considering they know you better than I would. I know it's scary, but there's nothing wrong with not knowing things, and I hope they'd be aware of that too. And even if you call yourself something now and explore more into it, there's no harm if in the future it doesn't fit so good. There's no wrong way to be a gender, and more importantly there's no wrong way to be you.

What I have manifested 🩷
My first post will be about some of the stuff I have manifested. I won’t write every single thing because I don’t remember it all, both “big” or “small”. And I will write a little backstory for them as well for anyone that's curious :)
My first job: I had zero experience and I was told during my interview that it was very unlikely for me to get the job and that they had other people wanting the job as well that were better qualified for the job because they had experience. I didn't waver and just said "okay" with a smile. A couple of weeks later he calls me and says I got the job.
Clear skin: for many years I had acne and pimples which made me very insecure. I tried many different skin care products that had worked wonderfully for many others, but when I used them they didn't work for me. I then affirmed that I had clear skin. After a while I found this product and just had a feeling that I should try it out. Surprise, surprise it worked! My mom was in shock at how much clearer my skin was and how fast it happened, and so was I.
My computer: I had wanted a new computer for a long time as my previous one was really old and I wanted to make an investment in a good one. I listened to a subliminal about manifesting what you want from your Pinterest board by "i want it, i got it" subliminal channel. I made a Pinterest board with the computer I wanted and affirmed “I love my new computer” while listening to it once. I went out shopping with my mom the same day and saw they lowered the price for the computer I wanted. I was so happy but then I thought about how much money I had. It was enough, but if I bought it, I wouldn’t have much left at all, almost nothing. But then I checked my bank account and i had way more money than the day before and I was like ??? I decided to buy it.
Getting rid of pain: I started getting pain in my hand and it kept getting worse during the day. Later that same day (evening I think?) I could barely move any part of my hand including my fingers. And it was my dominant hand so it was difficult. Just the slightest movement and it would hurt so much. I didn’t know what to do. I tried different things that should’ve helped, but nothing. I then decided to command my subconscious to get rid of the pain because it was getting unbearable and felt like it would either stay like that or get worse. A couple hours later I noticed the pain had lessened but it was still there. Ngl this made me doubt if I could even manifest it away completely. But then I decided to affirm that the pain was completely gone. I kept affirming and affirming even though the 3d showed me the opposite. Eventually i just “went on with my life” and didn’t focus on the pain. The next morning it was GONE.
Figuring out my gender: One day I would think I was a cis woman. Couple of days later I thought I was a trans man. Then genderfluid then ... It just went in circles for so long. I was so confused and my mental health was bad. It was a very long, sad and exhausting journey and it would be too long to write. And other things in my life were not how I wanted them to be either so I felt horrible in general. But then I read divineangelbee’s tumblr post about commanding the subconscious mind. I was done with all this confusion so I decided to give it a try. I commanded my subconscious to show me in my dream what gender I am.. Next day I woke up and remembered a dream I had. I saw the flags and i just knew that was the answer I had been looking for so long. I finally knew who I was and found peace.
My mom getting an apartment: She was unhappy with the apartment we lived in and wanted to move but she didn’t believe it would be possible. I affirmed even with “bad” circumstances popping up. I affirmed even when my mom was worried because of the why and the how and the money… Time goes by and then she tells me she’s been chosen for one of the many apartments she’d been looking at. She was so happy and we moved soon after!
I hope you enjoyed this!

recently as i discovered that i am an alterhuman, i came to the realization that i have SO MANY SHIFTS, day by day. okay i admit, i knew that not everyone "feels like an animal", because if they did, it would be discussed a lot more. but knowing the term 'shifting' and 'otherkin' would have helped me like. not feeling like an outcast for so many years. i genuienly hope that the times when alterhumanity will be at least a wildly known - if not accepted - phenomenon are coming.
like how could i have known i am not the only one, when i was nine, threatened and bullied by my classmates, getting startled easily and feeling like some animal, long neck, eyes wide open, smells and vision getting neater. i thought i was broken, therefore worthy of the bullying, the beatings, the loneliness, because i was something less than a 'sophisticated human'.
after i've got hurt, i imagined/saw myself as a big blue firebreathing dragon, landing on the middle of the school's backyard, catching and scaring my bullies, roaring very very loud. afterwards, i felt bad, guilty, sinful for imagining that i hurt people like an animal.
while on car rides, i imagined a dragon looking like the real me running outside the car, jumping around obstacles, sometimes getting off. sometimes, i felt the wind on my face and under my wings and i felt the soil under my paws and the grass touching my sides. i thought i was getting obsessed and i am abnormal.
my phantom thorns and wings had weight, even when i was twelve. i was afraid i've been sensing that someone is watching me behind my back, the way the characters of books can sense it. when i realized i can feel the shape of the things i am sensing, i was shocked.
i've been disliking my body for so long, without knowing what's wrong with it. it wasn't at all about my genderfluidity, as i thought for years, no. i've been passing for both a girl and a boy since i was very very small. no, i hated how the muscles wrap around my arms and how my legs are formed and i couldn't raise my ankle high, like it is with dogs. i hated my teeth not being pointy enough and my skin not growing scales. i had so many phantom shifts through all my life that it made me self conscious. the understanding that i am a pretty human AND a miserable dragon came to me so late, that i had already been struggling with ed for years.
my point is. no matter if alterhumanity is formed by delusions, coping mechanisms or other psychological reasons. up until it ceases to be a taboo to talk about for a literal CHILD, my case can happen over and over. alterhuman communities are needed and are comforting and supportive for people with similar experience. i deeply hope we will get at least as known as furries, so to provide answers for people in need of it.

𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐀𝐒 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐈𝐃.
characters: strawhats + portgas d. ace + trafalgar d. water law
content warning: genderfluid reader (any prns), general fluff + not proofread.
a/n: hello !! this is very self indulgent, as i am genderfluid myself lol. i thought why not sharing as someone else might find comfort in this or anything, so yeah this is why we’re here — not one of my best works ngl, but as i said i mainly wrote this for myself sooo. i hope you’ll enjoy it & that you guys are having a good day <3
𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐘.
would tilt his head to the side and try to understand.
“you change name?”
“nope, i just use any pronouns.”
“ooh! alright. i’ll try it right now!”
“guys! [y/n] said to use all pronouns, they… look cool,” he tries, frowning a little. “and he’s the best! she’s smart,” he added then, being sure to use all of them.
is actually very attentive about it and reminds the others to use them all if they keep using the same ones.
𝐙𝐎𝐑𝐎.
“okay. like he and she together in a phrase?”
you nod and watch him thinking about something.
“[y/n] is smart and i like his fighting style and… her face is cute?” he tilts his head to the side, waiting for your response.
“you can use they too, like… they are cute,” you suggest, smiling at him for the effort. “right, my bad darling.”
zoro is very good at switching pronouns and seems to do it without thinking >_<
𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐉𝐈.
“whatever my sweet darling desires! i’m gonna make him all their favourite dishes and kiss her lips and–”
you giggle and interrupt him, or else he would just keep going.
reminds the rest of the crew about changing pronouns frequently when talking about you, he wants you to feel comfortable and accepted and most importantly, yourself.
this is your family, after all.
𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈.
she catches on pretty easily.
uses all of your preferred pronouns, even asks you if you prefer he or she or they for the day.
i see nami getting paid by whoever keeps using the same pronouns over and over again as a punishment or sum.
she’s no joke.
𝐔𝐒𝐎𝐏𝐏.
super supportive !!
you know what, i think usopp would genuinely buy a pin with the genderfluid flag on it and put it on his clothes, stating proudly that his darling is genderfluid.
has not trouble using any pronouns in the same sentence.
if he knows you feel like using specific pronouns for the day, he goes on correcting whoever is talking using the wrong pronouns.
𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑.
would genuinely ask more about the genderfluid stuff.
because he wants to learn, and be as supportive as possible.
“i’ll try my best and use them all!”
he, in fact, did use all the pronouns.
jokes aside, he constantly reminds the crew that you use all pronouns — they’re well aware, but still give chopper the satisfaction, you know?
𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐈𝐍.
“oh, i’ve heard about genderfluid people.”
robin makes sure to ask you what pronouns you prefer to use from time to time.
she wants you to feel accepted and comfortable, that’s the least she can do.
avoids gendered terms if you’re more comfortable this way.
would kindly reminds to use all pronouns.
( alr, this ^ is referred to whoever is not part of the crew )
𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐘.
“my [y/n] is super! they’re super! he’s super! she’s super!!”
yeah he uses them all the time.
but you can say if you prefer one in particular, don’t worry.
he would inform the others, pretty loudly.
i believe franky would be careful to use non-gendered terms, just like robin.
𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊.
is a bit confused, not gonna lie.
but he’s keen to listen and learn !
uses different pronouns easily, and asks if he’s doing alright and if you’re comfortable.
i think he would avoid gendered terms too? idk . .
𝐀𝐂𝐄.
“that’s amazing! . . what does it mean?”
you have to explain better, but ace is smart he catches on quickly and goes on trying to use all the pronouns in one sentence.
reminds the whole crew that you’re genderfluid and that they should use any pronouns with you.
i genuinely think he would stick to non-gendered terms too, but would use boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever too if you want. ( hope that makes sense lol )
𝐋𝐀𝐖.
would listen seriously as you explain and come out.
“do you want me to avoid gendered terms? i can tell the others to do the same if you’re more comfortable.”
genuinely wants to create an accepting and comfortable environment for you to be yourself *cries*.
pss pss . . . law would buy a genderfluid pin too — and he has the audacity to think you wouldn’t notice.
would kindly remind the others to use all pronouns.
( this one ^, in fact, works for the crew too /hj )

To celebrate the one year anniversary of my Fontaine Hyperfixation, I'm finally posting my favorites of my headcanons for Neuvillette and Furina !! \(^-^)/
These will just be random things I believe to be true about them!
Neuvillette: (I'll try my best to keep it brief...)
They have no innate concept of gender, it kind of goes hand-in-hand with the "no concept of human society" thing.
But one day, shortly after first coming to Fontaine, they see a man dressed in a classy outfit, and they think "oh, THAT'S what I want to look like."
They don't think they're built for it, though, unfortunately....
(Do you get what I'm hinting at. They're afab.)
ANYWAY. onto the actual headcanons.
Neuvillette cut their hair shoulder-length post-Masquerade of the Guilty
They like to wear the ribbon from their long hairstyle on the back of their head sometimes (it takes a lot of courage, though).
Disabled legend... they use the cane for trials, sure, but they also have a chronic illness that makes it difficult to walk and causes balance + coordination issues
They have OCD... but also ADHD. And autism. Can dragons have autism? I think they have autism.
Neuvillette has a dissociative disorder. Namely, dissociative amnesia, as they can't remember anything about their past or where they came from. They probably have some form of personality fragmentation, too. I could talk about this specific headcanon for hours (please go watch Neuvillette's character teaser with a reputably-sourced list of symptoms if you don't believe me 🥺)
Another point, I think they have chronic migraine with photophobia. That's why they hate direct sunlight.
They spend their free time sleeping and researching anything that interests them. And taking walks; on sunny days they carry a light-blocking umbrella.
Here's a crazy one— they're actually only an inch or two taller than Furina. They frequently wear platform shoes to make themself seem taller, though (but it does NOT help with the balance issue. Speaking from personal experience.)
OKAY LAST ONE I SWEAR. Neuvillette's voice sounds like a scrunkly little shonen protagonist, but with some femininity to it. They don't have much range, though— if they yell, their voice cracks really bad. (when I first heard their Japanese dubbed voice, I flipped the crap out so bad because it was so good!!!! ( T ∀ T ) )
Furina: (I am sorry it's shorter.... I just have massive Neuvillette brainrot....)
Furina is very crafty and likes to do activities like sewing and decorating things
They're super good at makeup and coordinating outfits
They get hyperfixated on the books they read.... like a fandom type thing....
They have perpetually messy hair because they spend a lot of time sleeping.
They have ADHD. And probably abandonment issues
They're genderfluid.
They grow their bangs long so they can hide behind them when talking to others as Ousia Furina.
They have a dissociative disorder, with alters known as Pneuma Furina and Ousia Furina.
Pneuma Furina is very happy and energetic. They love to be social and are very cheerful!!
Ousia Furina likes to keep to themself, they have a more depressed/nihilistic outlook on life.
Both are equally Furina, though!!
Thank you so much for reading... this isn't like my typical posts, I hope it was fun to read ( ´; ω ;` )
#traditional headcanon enthusiasts rejoice !#neuvillette my beloved scrunkly fictive#neuvillette#furina#neuvifuri#they/them neuvillette#they/them furina#transmasculine neuvillette#genderfluid furina#trans headcanon#genshin#genshin impact#genshin edit#genshin headcanons#genshin fontaine#welcome to the peanut gallery ! 🥜

hiiii so ive been meaning to say this for a hot minute but thank you for speaking up for two spirit folx. we're so often neglected for more mainstream western mostly eurocentric labels & most only treat us as an afterthought if we're even considered at all in queer history & now so thank you it means a lot !!
hello there, thanks for taking the time to send this message!
i'd like to be more inclusive and help talk about two spirit identities more- currently, i feel like i'm not as educated as i'd like to be, as i've only known a small handful of two spirit folks personally. i'd like to make sure i'm being as respectful and accurate as possible whenever i do mention these identities and issues, because i know so much of that eurocentricism ends up alienating a lot of two spirit individuals
i attended a queer rights conference in 2011 or so, and listened to an indigenous speaker on two spirit issues. there, i was introduced to the concept that many two spirit people do NOT consider themselves queer or LGBT due to how eurocentric those identities are. i know that not every two spirit person feels this way, but it's helped me realize that not every two spirit person identifies the same way, just like anyone else, and it's important to listen to that diversity in experience and not force people into a system that may not fit them at all whatsoever
but there's also what you're discussing, which is that many two spirit people do identify as trans and/or queer, and white queers just do their very best to ignore that or act as though it's not something that belongs in the community. cultural queer identities are extremely important and if a two spirit person believes they fit into the queer community due to their experiences, that is their right and their experience deserves to be discussed just like anyone else's, as it's complex and nuanced just like any other LGBTQ identity
i am here to both uplift two spirit and indigenous people, while also not putting words into their mouths and speaking as though i'm a master on an identity i will literally never understand personally. it's not my place to try to understand it from a personal standpoint, but it is my place to try to help people feel welcome in how they identify, whether or not they feel they fit into our white eurocentric concepts of queerness, but also to not deny that person's identity if they do feel like they are part of the queer umbrella
it's still something that's extremely important to talk about, just like how it's important to discuss intersex people who do not view themselves as queer due to their intersex conditions. i know there are many white people out there who would ask a two spirit person "why not just identify as bigender or genderfluid?" which is so painfully disrespectful. some people's identities are inherently tied to their culture and that desires to be heard
some two spirit people identify as trans and queer, and some don't, and that's okay. every person who has this experience deserves to talk about it and feel represented, and not feel like their identity is a backseat to everyone else's. if anyone has good resources on two spirit identities actually written by indigenous people, i would love to read more. unfortunately so much information on the internet has been written by those same white europeans and their descendants and i do not want to listen to those voices at all when it comes to this subject
i hope to be even more inclusive in the future! thanks for your kind message, i hope to become even more inclusive and educated as time goes on. hope you are well, take care of yourself!

What do you find most influences your characterization of Achilles when you’re writing? I love all your fics so much btw! 💖
Aah this is such a good question!!! Honestly a lot of the time when I write him I think about his Iliad characterisation, I think it's my favourite. He is so abrasive and self-centered and it makes so much sense within the context of the story and his situation that you can't even be mad about it. I love how intensely he feels all his emotions, Achilles doesn’t do anything by halves: he loves to the max, hates to the max, grieves to the max. There is something so powerful about the fact that his love and his grief go hand in hand with such monumental destruction, like he’s so SCARY in how torrential his passions are but also so very human, and that is always an interesting thought experiment trying to apply those characteristics in different universes or stories. I love that throughout the Iliad we get glimpses of not only how deadly he is, but also a sweet, caring, honourable man that genuinely cares about his fellow humans in his own way, and also about justice and fairness, and it's so painful how that is turned against him in the end. He's just such a complex character with so many layers, and with every fic I write about him I want to peel back those layers and see what I can do with them lol. He contains multitudes and I honestly think he's one of the greatest characters ever conceived in one of the most compelling stories ever written and that inspires me the hell out of me lmao.
Also the fact that he's a demigod, and that he is intentionally written differently from other characters in the Iliad (in the way he speaks and acts and moves, the way he expresses his emotions, in his powers, his connection to Thetis and the sea), like he’s a weirdo by default but also extremely relatable and I find that so endearing. Achilles' weirdness is something that features quite a lot in my works.
I am also inspired by his TSOA and Hades characterisations, as well as his appearances in other ancient greek works (I think I would be lying if I said that TSOA isn't in the dna of most of my patrochilles stories LOL but I usually inject other bits and pieces from other works into his characterisation depending on the fic). I love seeing how other creators were inspired by Achilles and what they decided to do with him, which aspect of his character they chose to focus on, it's always so interesting. It's a good thing that he appears in quite a lot of stuff, both modern and older works, both in writing and in art, so we're a bit spoiled for choice.
Edit: also the fact that the myth of him hiding in Skyros dressed as a woman is so old and embedded into his general myth, and that he was feminine-looking and graceful enough to pass makes me feral....!!!!! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING FERAL!!!! And ALSO that even in the Iliad his role in Patroclus' funeral mirrors that of Andromache in Hector's funeral, like he doesn’t care about gender norms Patroclus is his HUSBAND and Achilles taking on the role of the wife is just!!! Genderfluid Achilles until the day that I die 🥹✊️
Okay I'll shut up now haha I hope I answered your question!! I'm glad you're enjoying my works 💕

Sorry if this is an inappropriate question but I'm having some self doubts. How did you know for sure that you were trans? I think I might be but I'm very confused if I'm feeling dysmorphia or dysphoria. Feel free to ignore if this is too personal
There’s nothing wrong with asking questions like this! :) gender is super confusing and sometimes it’s nice to have insight from other people
For the longest time I connected the discomfort with my body with trauma I experienced when I was younger. However, even as I worked through therapy and grew to a point that I am not as affected by my trauma, my discomfort remained.
Everytime I thought about people looking at me and seeing a boy, or even just looking at me and having no clue what my gender is, it made me feel kind of excited? I get heart flutter moments when I think about it.
I feel like I should add that most of my dysphoria is social. There are different kinds of dysphoria, and seeing this image is what made me realize that even though I didn’t struggle with my body too much, I had a strong desire to be seen as non-woman by society (not even necessarily as a man, just as something apart from “woman” if that makes sense).
(I cannot find the original artist for this so if anybody knows who it is please lmk)
When my friends started using he/they pronouns for me it felt really good. Even if I dress more feminine, I’m not binding, or if I’m actively trying to look more feminine, my friends still use he/they pronouns and it feels good!
My university has one of the best LGBTQ+ centers in the country, so I had a really good resource to reach out to and talk to people about. Which, for anybody reading this, you don’t have to be a university student to reach out to queer centers at universities! If you need resources, email them! :)
After quite a long time of experimenting with names, pronouns, styles, lots of research, etc. I came to the conclusion of “I’m just going to do me, whatever that is.” I use any pronouns, I dress however, I present differently depending on how I feel day to day :) people may call it genderfluid (which is fine!) but I’m personally sticking to more vague labels for my own comfort :) transmasc and genderqueer are what I use because it doesn’t feel confining!
I know a lot of this is kinda anecdotal, but I think the gist is there wasn’t one thing I noticed about myself that “confirmed” I’m trans. Also, you define what that means for you! There’s people who use they/them pronouns or different pronouns from those associated with their sex and don’t consider themselves trans! And there’s people who use pronouns that are associated with their sex and consider themselves trans! Technically because I use any pronouns, people can use she/her and that’s fine, but I’m still trans. I want top surgery, and I plan on cutting my hair into a more masculine cut, but I’m unsure about HRT. And after all that, I’m still trans!
I think this got kind of ramble-y but I really hope this all makes sense and helps to some capacity. And I encourage you to explore this and experiment! And if you decide “hey I’m actually not trans” that’s okay! Don’t be afraid to experiment and try things out :)
The trans experience is beautifully unique person to person, and your transness can look very different from someone else’s! :)
#I really hope this helps I know it’s long and basically one big ramble#trans#lgbtq#ftm#transgender#trans man#transmasc#transgender man#trans pride#donnieisaprettyboy#ftm problems#asks
