on genders, words, and identities 

I feel... a little odd lately? I just identify as 'girl'? Mainly lesbian? Trans as fuck.

But I look around and like, wow, holy shit where'd all these enby people show up from lately?

Buuuut. But. The thing is, they've been here all along and are coming out once more as not just noncis but also nonbinary! I fucking LOVE IT. Gimme those good good wordplays of identity, find the one that fits you, wear it with pride! (Try to give it a good flag, Please. Looking at you Polyamory, I love you folks but that flag is baaaad)

I dunno where this thought was going but like:
Am 'just' a trans girl, with some plural problems. I don't want to be the new gatekeeper of identity shit that cis folks are to me.

@Draekos I'm feeling the same way lately, just...
Well, it's all complicated.
I'm trying to figure out how Out I really should be, since I kinda look like the white straight cismale oppressor.
But I've had a radical lesbian Faerie spirit keeping me company for like fifteen years and she's been able to Front recently.
So it's like... I was trying to pass as normal for years and now I'm a girl sometimes weather I like it or Not.
So I'd joke with anyone that'd get on the whole 'There are only 2 genders' thing by saying "Nah, they've got 31 flavors and they still don't really have a word for what I am, only what I'm Not"

So both myself and my wife have stuck with 'Hermaphrodite' on the downlow, because it's still a dirty word. Only issue with that is that Both of us are kinda intersex. :\
