gender is fucked up. it's like. i'm a trans man. i'm multigender. femaleness or whatever is definitely part of my gender identity and experience, an important part at that, but to refer to me in 99.9% of ways that would be indicative of such would be misgendering. i don't even self-refer that way. but it's still relevant and important to my gender experience even if it's not verbalized and as a result, largely internal

#'trans man' is largely just the mode with which i am most comfortable interacting with the world gor the most part #it isn't inaccurate (i *do* identify that way) but my gender is a lot more complex than that lets on #the complexities there just aren't always relevant or necessary to highlight in every situation #do i wish people did not treat me as though i have no lived experience or connection to the gender of 'woman'? yes.#enough to put it out there and let people presume i am comfortable being outwardly gendered as such? no.#i was cis until i was questioning and then questioning until i was trans. and i have been trans so many ways since #(and not to mention i have been intersex since. well. puberty is what I'll say)#like okay. i'm a transfag but i'm a butch dyke on the weekends yeah. no 'but' about it really #even when i was objectively a lesbian i never liked that term for myself. but i think if i had known about reclaiming dyke back then #i would've liked it a lot more. anyway #long ramble to say that gender moves a lot for me. but also it's very much been the same for years. it's just about prioritizing ..#.. what i want to put out into the world and how i want to be seen and how i want to interact and be interacted with.#glitch.txt
