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 Makes perfect sense to me. :)
