dysphoria, is it denial or is it just one of those weird enby experiences 

Me: *swoons at being referred to with masculine terms, desires to be seen as a guy by cis people, undergoing masculinizing hormone therapy*
Me: *feels camaraderie with trans men and trans masc people, especially desires to be seen as a MLM by other MLM*
Me out loud: No, I’m totally genderless. No genders here. also don’t like to call myself a man

dysphoria, is it denial or is it just one of those weird enby experiences 

My first impulse as a child upon learning that I could transition was to internally declare myself a trans boy. Later after reading and thinking more it got changed to nonbinary and agender, which felt more accessible and aligned with my opinions on the subject of gender. I still feel the same way about gender and would rather not have one. But I’m still here, navigating this gendered culture, making gendered choices

@pexl You're allowed to cherish your transformation, your community, your situation.

You're heading Towards None Gender with Left Boy.

...That and you're a plural system. That makes everything way more complicated. Like even if One of you is genderfluid it can cause distortions.

And then there's systems like Us, where we don't have a fixed gender because we're all Different.

@Motodrachen yeah, plurality has really affected things way more than I thought they would. We all have roughly the same none-gender-left-masc thing going on but with different levels of dysphoria. Avery is the most secure among us so literally doesn’t give a fuck about pronouns or transitioning or clothes or Anything, and sticks his foot in his mouth like all the time, making Pel freak out and think we’re a Fake Trans
