Updated & clarified gender terminology advisory, trial version:
If we know each other well, particularly if you interact with me in meatspace:
Please use he/him and casual masculine-leaning terms (dude, boy (notably not 'man' but that's more for species reasons)) to refer to me in private/intimate contexts.
Please continue to use gender-neutral terminology (they and ve are my preferred pronouns for such) in other contexts, and correct non-close-folks who use the wrong terminology.
Thank you!
Hypothetically-asked questions about the gender terminology stuff, answered:
Why/why now?
Gender is complicated, nonbinary gender doubly so. This is actually in line with stuff I've been saying to close friends for a while now.
Does this mean you're detransitioning?
No. :P
Does this mean you regret aspects of your transition?
NO. >:|
This seems hard/counterintuitive?
You probably already refer to me (or others) with different names in different contexts. I'm sure you can do this too.

@indi Can most certainly do this! ❤️
(plz don't boost, BTW, hopefully that goes without saying. 💜)
