#cis-apathetic

[rjalker]

An anon was looking for a cis-apathetic flag, and it doesn't look like there's any others, so here's one!

[ID: A pride flag with seven horizontal stripes of: berry red, black, grey, yellow, grey, black, and teal. The black stripes are represented by a very dark grey rather than true black. End ID.]

This flag is public domain -- use or edit it for anything you want! You can download it here from the Internet Archive.

Edit: Stripe meanings:

[ID: Two more versions of the flag above with the colors for each stripe labeled, first in a cursive font "Great Vibes", then reguar Arial. The red is for "Being perceived as a woman". The black is for "other's perceptions not being true to your internal identity". The grey is "being apathetic or relaxed towards gender". The yellow is for "being perceived as nonbinary". The blue is for "being perceived as a man". End ID.]

I feel about gender the way you might feel about getting an okay test grade

Like imagine you got a b on a test, you're not disappointed, you're not upset about getting a bad grade, but you're also not excited, you're not specifically enthusiastic about it, you just got the grade you got and you are fine with that, you're not upset and you're not excited about it

That's what my gender apathy is to me. I don't have a problem with my agab as a trans person might, I don't feel connected to my agab like cis people are apparently supposed to, I'm just here

Percy infodump incoming I’ve been thinking of him, his relationship to gender, and his ever so selfish and hypocritical views on the world

They’re such a product of their environment, the new gender system perfectly exemplifying everything about gender that makes them so insecure bc like. They ain’t a man or a woman, but no one else can process the concept that he’s neither. So instead they go with the second best option of “man”, because it’s better than being seen as a woman at least— and even then, as soon as his pants come off, it’s like the illusion breaks and suddenly everyone thinks he’s some crossdressing girl. And it infuriates them, so part of the reason why they want to become so powerful and intimidating is because at least then maybe people will be too scared to question him

The fact that he’s intersex makes it worse, because then when people view him as just a cross dresser then they see him as a FREAK too!! Deep voice, extremely tall, tdick, flat chest… can’t even look like a girl in the ‘right’ way. Which he then rationalizes that the intimidation will fix that too. Just gotta get more powerful. Just gotta be more in control.

This all manifests in him being someone who has actually never been able to fully explore his own gender, since they took on the role of “man” as a way to separate themself from womanhood when they came to the orphanage. So now they’re in this spot where their gender identity is half-baked and all of the insecurities just start piling up. He already found himself to be ugly as a child due to his mothers harsh criticisms, but that added paranoia of being seen as a woman has just made them all the more hyper aware of the thoughts and feelings of other people (even though they come off as someone that doesn’t care about what other people think— which they usually don’t. It’s just that this is a very sore subject for them)

It’s part of why he doesn’t like dressing in more ‘feminine’ ways, or wearing skintight clothes, because even the minute possibility of being seen as a woman makes his skin crawl. Hypothetically they could actually explore being more gender nonconforming if they actually got to be at a point where they’re comfortable in their own skin but. That would take some insane au fuckery for them to ever be at that spot

Insecurity in general is a big theme with Percy, he’s an inherently spiteful and envious person that lets his emotions out on others even when they don’t deserve it. Even when he was actively suicidal he was still pretty nasty towards others he deemed ‘better’ than him. Celes is the biggest example of it, she did nothing but unintentionally excel at all of the things that Percy was insecure about— and because of that Percy has had a one sided resentment towards her since they were children. If he is jealous over you then it’s YOUR fault in his eyes. How DARE you be better than him, how dare your very existence serve only as mockery in his eyes. Because he’s selfish, it doesn’t matter if the other person is suffering in other ways— he’s locked onto that insecurity of his and ignores all else. Tunnel vision

Percy is constantly throwing a pity party for themself, because they suffered in the past, because they’re suffering NOW, then that means they’re allowed to inflict as much harm upon people as they want. They’re above criticism because this town sucks anyways, so really the citizens deserve to get their faces beaten in. A flimsy excuse made by someone who attacks indiscriminately for the most part. They just use people like punching bags and then want to get away with zero consequences..

Because he’s suffered so much, you know? What do you mean you’ve also suffered? Who cares. That doesn’t matter. Just shut up and take the beating

He’s a hypocritical mess that’s overcompensating for the things that he’s lacking in by beating down the people that do have what he wants. And that’s why he’s so fun to write <3

People need to stop assuming that the term trans has to mean either AMAB Transfemmes or AFAB Transmascs. IT IS AN UMBRELLA TERM FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT CIS. Need me to repeat it? Yes, of course it includes AMAB transfemmes, and AFAB transmascs. BUT it also means us enbies, and YES this does DAMN WELL include:

AMAB neoboys, demiboys, libramascs, and solarians

AFAB neogirls, demigirls, librafems, and lunarians

Quoigender, Pomogender, and Gender Apathetic people

trans AFABs who are still women and trans AMABs who are still men

Agender, gendervoid people

Xenogender people

anyone who just doesn’t feel quite cis

Even if you’ve never changed your names or pronouns, or gotten hormones or surgeries, you’re still trans

Don’t worry, you ARE valid and you ARE still trans

I love you all <33

[donnieisaprettyboy]

what are all these conservatives getting hair transplants, plastic surgery, testosterone injections for cis men, etc gonna do when they can’t do that shit anymore cuz they banned “gender affirming care”

[e77y]

I really want to like being a woman but I don’t. But I’m not dysphoric either; I like my body fine and I don’t want to change my voice or my mannerisms or even my pronouns really. So I don’t think I’m transmasc. Sometimes I just really wish I was born and raised a man. But it’s more of an “in another life” dream kind of thing. I think it’s just internalized misogyny idk

[problamticsideanna]

Happy Pride everyone! Here is a post of my flags for now

Labels can change and you can learn new things about yourself constantly. I am leaning closer to demiromantic because I am unsure if I have experienced enough to be full aromantic. But that’s just my personal feelings!

I am also exploring my gender more, my feelings may change one day but I think gender apathetic reflects what I currently feel. I didn’t include and other trans flags just because I am not comfortable fully being on that scale. I don’t want to step into spaces that may not be made for me. But that could just be my imposter syndrome talking 🥲

I hope everyone has a wonderful pride! Whether you already know exactly who and what you like or are still uncertain.

[assbestos]

he asked very politely but how do i even begin to explain to my old white guy driving instructor that im a dude in the same way that a hotdog is a sandwich

[synthergy]

Idk how to better explain the effect on my mental health of finally starting transition than "Im starting to feel like a person"

do i have particularly strong feelings of being a man? Not really, but it's becoming increasingly clear that it's still an intristic part of my identity
