So... I’ve identified as non-binary for a couple years now. I’m a gender studies and psych major, therefore i’m almost too aware of my afab conditoning. however now i believe i may be agender. female nor male expression appeals to me. my only concern that i would love to hear opinions on is this - i understand that many agender folk identify as such because they can remove themselves from the gendered rhetoric - but how can i, someone who battles female socialization constantly, truly b agender?

I would say that not every agender person is able to/chooses to remove themself entirely from the idea of a gender binary. I think most people are aware of some form of gender binary, whether they place themself on it is a different story. 

(Image ID: In grey across the top reads “The Gender Spectrum” underneath is a circle with a gradient of pink on the left side, purple on top, blue on the right side, and white on the bottom. Above the circle reads “NONBINARY, to the right reads “MASCULINE” to the left reads “FEMININE” and underneath reads “AGENDER”. In the bottom right corner says “tyef” and underneath “transyouthequality.org”. End ID)

So if you still consider yourself a part of the gender binary, that’s okay. It doesn’t make you any less agender. Trying to distance yourself from this is difficult, especially when you’re learning more about it in school.

The last part of your ask seems complicated. (”how can i, someone who battles female socialization constantly, truly b agender?”) Do you identify as agender? If you answered yes, you’re truly agender! If you answered maybe or partially, that doesn’t mean you aren’t. You could be truly agender sometimes or truly agender along with something else.

Basically, there isn’t one way to be truly agender. All you have to do is be you.

Here are some blogs on Tumblr that might lead you to more resources

Logo & Branding: Trans Youth Equality Foundation

As a volunteer for the nonprofit organization TYEF, I noticed that their online presence and outreach could be stronger.  I came to them with a plan for creating a visual identity and brand, including a new logo.

Former TYEF Profile Image I kept the vibrant orange they had in their prior profile picture on Facebook (above); we wanted TYEF to stand apart from other similar organizations, who tended to use purple, pink and/or blue.  The orange - contrasted with the black and white - also symbolizes the bold strength with which the organization advocates for children.

I also created online graphics for TYEF as needed for posting on social media.

Do you know any great sites I could show my parents? I just came out as ftm trans. They seem supportive

that’s great! TSER has a { list } of sites that could be useful. Some great sites made for parents are TYEF and Lambda Legal.

Anyone know of a trans creator who sells a shirt that says something to the extent of “protect trans kids/youth?” I am a teacher and I’d really like one but every one I have found does not at the very least even give to any organizations for trans youth.

TLDR: looking to buy protect trans youth shirt from a member of the community or where proceeds go to an organization like TYEF.

Thanks!

Hi pflagmom, my ftm 10yr old son is just hitting the beginning of puberty and we can't afford/aren't sure about puberty blockers. I am trying to figure out how to show him that even if we can't change puberty that he will be ok. We have a great resource in our town but they are very pro-blockers. Any advice for parents wanting to help their child understand that they can still present as male even if we can't do blockers? Does that make sense?

It does make sense but I’m firmly on the side of blockers. They have been found to be safe for kids and totally, and quickly, reversible if they change their minds. By blocking the development of their secondary sexual characteristics, you are allowing him to live his true self NOW and not go through the PAIN of puberty first. An FTM kid with blockers then testosterone could avoid top surgery, menstruating - something virtually ALL FTM people find nearly unbearable. An MTF kid will not have to worry about her voice dropping and staying low forever. Developing facial and body hair that might need to be removed via electrolysis.  There are many other benefits but the psychological benefits, in my view, outweigh any reservations you have. 

He probably wants to know how to explain to you that having his body go through female puberty seems devastating. 

It is a big and hard decision - but one where you need to put aside what YOU want and hope and just think about what is best for your child’s mental and physical health. Plus, trust him- only HE knows his true gender.

Please contact a parent support group - groups of parents who have faced these exact decisions and can share their stories with you. I recommend starting here:
