Here we go - updated/alternate version of the käärijägender flag. (Old version here).
Käärijägender is a nonbinary gender which may involve both masculinity, femininity and/or androgyny etc, in a way that feels connected to the artist Käärijä. It could be considered a type of kingender. It may be one part of a genderfluid identity (kinfluid).
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Each colour represents several things:
🖤 black for leather jackets, spiky black pants and for being agender or experiencing an absence of gender.
💚 green for the green bolero, green nails, and for a nonbinary masculinity or butchness.
🩷 pink for the pink dancers, for the bald men, frank the flamingo, and for a nonbinary femininity or flamboyance.
🤍 white for white suits and outfits, white nails, and for being multigender or genderfluid.
💛 yellow for Häärijä, yellow suit Käärijä, and for a nonbinary gender which is not male nor female (demigender, androgyne, maverique or xenogender, for example).
Feel free to use this flag and label! Please give credit and refer back to this post when possible. 👍
The way my facial hair is just now starting to fill in 9 years on testosterone and one year post hysterectomy.
My medical transition has unfortunately not been linear. My early medical care was handled by a negligent egotistical man that wound up losing his medical license and the impact that had on my body was a lot. After three years of my testosterone converting into estrogen as a result of being massively overdosed my body fortunately right as my hemoglobin was rising exponentially past dangerous levels I had an autoimmune reaction which allowed for doctors to take action preventing a stroke. Unfortunately, I now have an autoimmune condition, chronic pain, and mobility issues.
Sometimes when people hear that they ask if I regret my transition and are confused when I say I don’t. My transition wasn’t the problem. Testosterone wasn’t the problem. The fact my levels were so wildly unmanaged was. The fact I went to “doctor” Norman Barwin was.
I regret not educating myself about where my levels should be, not testing often enough, and trusting a old man that my social worker (who’d been working with him for years) told me “made a mistake in either cleaning or labeling his sperm and his patients sperm a couple times over the course of fifty years” (which actually turned out to be a couple hundred times). He also just blatantly cheated in the Boston marathon and people didn’t take that into account as a reflection of his character when the initial cases were investigated. I didn’t know that and I could have learned more had I screened the doctor I was being sent to with a simple google search- but I didn’t do that. I trusted my social worker and I trusted my “doctor”.
Learn to advocate for yourself. Educate yourself about your levels. Get tested every 3-6 months the first couple years on T and 6 months to a year if you’ve gone years with it stable. Don’t assume you’re fine because you feel fine. I didn’t feel anything was wrong until the day before I collapsed. Learn from my mistakes.
ok uh im a masculine male aligned enby and have noticed that all the nonbinary masc & nonbinary man flags are UGLY AS HELL so i hueshifted the enby fem flag to be a nonbinary masc flag. feel free to use if ur an enby that also has ties to being a man
this flag took 0 effort to make i just took the pretty nonbinary fem flag and hueshifted it to be blue. im genuinely lost as to how nobodys done this before, but here it is.
i love matching flags like the gay/lesbian ones, demiboy/demigirl, boyflux/girlflux, etc so this kinda worked out in the end! ^_^
Supposed to be going to my first enby meet up at the end of the month but I just read that you can't bring anyone who isn't nb, trans or questioning which is.... kinda shitty when my brilliant and supportive partner who would like to understand more about the community is cis. Also shitty as I have big anxiety about social events or going to places I've never been to before so often take my partner with me. Like, i get *why* that rule is there but now i just feel uncomfortable... I've wanted community for so long but idk if i can even go now
Actor is definitely the correct term and I love that for me.
(When I say I’ll play a woman, only if I’m allowed to present masculinely or she’s in drag. Or a nun. Weirdly enough, I’m totally cool with the concept of playing a nun. Viola, Rosalind, Polly Perks… prefer playing men or nonbinary folks though)
Saw a pretty back tattoo photo while looking for pose refs for something else and thought now would be a good time to make a little pinup of the worlds smallest mothman, so here’s a sketchy wip ✨
