Hello, whoever you are! And welcome. ☺
There is a tag on YouTube that I’ve been following for a while; The Gender Tag.
This project is intended to develop a massive collection of people’s experiences in their gender identities, because gender is so unique. No two people experience their gender identities the exact same way, even if they use the same label. While I’m not creating a video (bc I hate the way my voice sounds in recordings and it freaks me out), I am going to answer the 10 questions here! ☺ Again, these answers are all based on my personal experience and my personal gender identity.
Here is The Gender Tag questionnaire:
1. How do you self-identify your gender, and what does that definition mean to you? – I identify (mostly) as nonbinary. Getting further in depth, I identify as transmasculine. The nonbinary identity, to me, means being neither specifically male or female. I don’t identify with either binary gender wholly/fully. The transmasculine portion, to me, means that I identify more with masculinity than femininity.
2. What pronouns honor you? – The pronouns that honor me are ‘they/them/theirs’. I am not extremely pushy with my family/lifelong friends. We’re from the south, people just don’t get it here, and I choose not to get annoyed/angry bc it’s an endless battle. However, when meeting new people, I now use my chosen name and mention my preferred pronouns. I’m not a stickler about them though… If people slip, it’s okay! I understand it’s not a personal attack, most people are extremely conditioned to only he/she. If people ask about the pronouns, I’m eager and excited to explain, bc I know they’re genuinely trying to adjust.
3. Describe the style of clothing that you most often wear. – My clothing style is most definitely masculine. Everything I wear, except sports bras, is from the guys section.. Shoes, socks, pants, shirts, ties, boxers, EVERYTHING.
4. Talk about your choices with body hair. How do you style your hair? Do you have facial hair? What do you choose to shave, or choose not to shave? – My hair is seen as masculine. I go to a barber, get a classic fade/cut. I have darker upper lip hair, and killer side burns for an AFAB (assigned female at birth) person. I shave my arms, bc tattoos. I rarely shave my legs (as of recently), same goes for the pits.
5. Talk about cosmetics. Do you choose to wear makeup? Do you paint your nails? What types of soaps and perfumes do you use if any? – I agree that cosmestics don’t have a gender, but makeup isn’t for me. I’ve always associated makeup with being very feminine, bc I’m attracted to feminine ladies, but I’ve never liked wearing makeup, ever. I do not paint my nails, only when my gf is painting hers and she asks me to paint my pinky toe nail. ♥ she’s lucky she’s cute 😉… I use soap from the men’s section, as well a en cologne and deodorant. Smelling good is something I’ve always taken pride in. All of my smells are similar and blend well.
6. Have you experienced being misgendered? If so, how often? – Uh, only every single fucking day. Haha, but it’s fine. Again, the world isn’t yet accustomed to any nonbinary genders, so I always get sir’d and maam’d. It doesn’t really bother me, unless it’s extremely repetitive and/or continuous feminine words are used. Then my eye twitches, just a little bit.
7. Do you experience dysphoria? How does that affect you? – I do, on and off. I hate my voice. I hate hearing it in videos. It makes me want to rip out my vocal chords. I have periods of calmness and downs with my chest. Currently working on getting a binder to see what that does for me.
8. Talk about children. Are you interested in having children? Would you want to carry a child if that were an option for you? Do you want to be the primary caretaker for any children you may have? – I’m not interested in /having/ children. But the option is most certainly open for my gf, or we’ll potentially adopt. I have never had the desire to carry. I wouldn’t mind caring for a child, should we decide to take that step later in life.
9. Talk about money. Is it important to you to provide for a family financially if you choose to have one? Is it important to you that you earn more than any partner you may have? Do you prefer to pay for things like dates? Are you uncomfortable when others pay for you or offer to pay for you? – I have always had a strong desire to provide for my gf. I have always been okay with working, and her do her own thing (she runs an etsy and nanny’s). I make enough to cover our bills if she decides she wants to go to school full time. I don’t have to earn more than her, if she got a job tomorrow that paid more, I’d still be her biggest supporter and wish her well. I’d be proud as fuck, no matter what. I do enjoy taking her on dates and paying, or buying her supplies, or presents/surprises. I’m not uncomfortable if she offers to pay/take me on a date occasionally though. Lol, our money is always combined anyways, so who is really paying? Who cares?
10. Anything else you want to share about your experience with gender? – I only recently, like within the last two years, learned about the nonbinary identity. Again, I’m from the south, my family is pretty bumpkin. I’ve never really known about trans* people and the many identities our there. Hell, coming out as a lesbian in high school was enough trauma for my family. This is a learning process for me, and the main reason why I’m trying to document everything. My gf was the first person to validate me (she’s 22, and very aware of trans*ness/identities). She’s the first one to honor my pronouns and really helped me build up the courage to make posts about them on my personal social media, for all my friend and family to see. She’s supportive of me finding a therapist, getting a binder, and so forth. She’s been my rock through this self discovery.

Hello, whoever you are! And welcome. ☺
My name is Cue, and I’m a 28 y/o Floridian.
Thanks for stopping by and checking this out. This blog is going to be for discussing and documenting my personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, being a nonbinary person in a very, very binary world.
What is a nonbinary person, you ask? From the pals over at gender.wikia.com:
“Non-binary gender describes any gender identity which does not fit the male and female binary. Those with non-binary genders can feel that they:
⚪Have an androgynous (both masculine and feminine) gender identity, such as androgyne. ⚪Have an identity between male and female, such as intergender. ⚪Have a neutral or unrecognized gender identity, such as agender, neutrois, or most xenogenders. ⚪ Have multiple gender identities, such as bigender or pangender. ⚪Have a gender identity which varies over time, known as gender fluid. ⚪Have a weak or partial connection to a gender identity, known as demigender. ⚪Are intersex and identify as intersex, know as amalgagender. ⚪Have a culturally specific gender identity which exists only within their or their ancestor’s culture.”
Nonbinary can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. As for myself, I am closer to the masculine side of things. I prefer the simple term “nonbinary” in regards to a specific label, but in depth, I’m definitely transmasculine.
More posts and in depth questionnaires will be posted in regards to my Identity, how I came to discover it, and so forth. Over time, this will be a solid blog for anyone seeking out more information about the nonbinary and/or transmasculine identity.
Ask/inbox is always open for support and encouragement! ✌

Spell to Make People Perceive You as the Correct Gender
*untested*
You will need: A locket An index card A writing utensil
Write all the qualities you want to be perceived as on an index card (ie: “masculine,” “androgynous,” “flat-chested,” etc). You can write your pronouns and name on the card as well. Fold the card up as tightly as possible and hold it up to your heart. Visualize people talking to you and about you and using the correct pronouns, name, etc. As you visualize, chant: “I am (your name). "I am (your gender). ” I will be seen as (your gender). “I am (qualities you wrote). ” I will be referred to as (your pronouns). “My gender will be accepted, acknowledged, and respected. "This is my will, so mote it be.” (Replace ending with whatever your tradition calls for.) Put the folded up index card in the locket and wear it whenever you feel you need to.
