Some of us have a gender that is purple in a world that only has words for blue and red, so we are making new words, and from them, a new world.
What’s your experience?

You can call me… Beck. Not Becky–I don’t like that. Beck.
I identify as… a soft butch bisexual genderqueer writer&artist. And that’s just right now.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … any work, really. The ze/zir thing makes me chuckle actually because I’m from Quebec. So it just sounds like you’re trying to imitate the French speaking English.
Go for whatever makes you comfortable.
I’m attracted to… femme boys and girls in plaid with short hair. Tall people. Glasses. Intelligence, compassion, wit, flamboyance, honesty, and kindness.
When people talk about me, I want them to… realize that nothing is definite. Everything is fluid. Ignore the fact that yeah, okay, I look like a man. Just realize that inside is a really cool person who will totally give you some popcorn if you want some (because eating a bag by myself is not healthy).
I want people to understand… that they should be nice. Smile at your bus driver and compliment the classmate with the nice shirt. Be friendly to queers because they might not get that enough.
About Beck
I like artsy things. I’m a total student in all aspects of life–always ready to learn. I snowboard, draw, write, read, dream, and talk too little (I listen too much?). I befriend teachers because I’m that much of a nerd and I recognize that they’re people too.
I’m nice. Sometimes I like to shake things up by being blunt.
Cheers.

When I’m around boys, I feel like my masculinity is inadequate. When around girls, I feel like my femininity is inadequate. When in groups of people, I still feel inadequate because I don’t feel like I belong to any gender.

You can call me… tyler. one day this will be my name to everyone.
I identify as… a masculine genderqueer, pansexual, a musician and quite human.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … ze hir hirs are preferable, but i’d rather be called he than she thx.
I’m attracted to… short fairy-like girls, boys with long hair, the genderless, everything about my boyfriend, and the cynically intelligent.
When people talk about me, I want them to… be respectful and open-minded, but not caged in by my gender.
I want people to understand… why i feel the way i feel, and that just because i’m not a true boy doesn’t mean i’m a girl.

I wasn’t born a girl. I was born a boy with some assembly required.

Androgyne 4, originally uploaded by Heli Hirvela.
Brought to you by Scottish youtube user Bo.
You can call me… Ri, Riley, CAY, Ray.
I identify as… Pansexual, Queer, Polyamorous, Gender-queer, Androgyne. Sometimes I feel male/female, but those times are rare. Basically…I’m Me.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … very used to He/Him/His. Often got Her/Hers when I had my long hair (had to chop it off :( ) and didn’t mind it. I would prefer the gender-neutral ones, but am not in a position where I can ask for that from most people.
I’m attracted to… Hard to define. As a rule I am attracted to more androgynous people, regardless of gender or lack thereof. Random personalities are a plus, respect for me, my boundaries, and my issues is a must.
When people talk about me, I want them to… Realize that none of us really “know” that there is or isn’t a god, and that that god will hate people simply for being themselves. I really want them to realize that it’s hypocritical to just take parts of holy text, apply them to others, but not apply the rest to themselves.
I want people to understand… that I am me. I can’t change who I am. And If I could, I probably wouldn’t be in the situation I am in. I also want people to realize that just because I don’t show how much some things hurt…they still hurt.
About Cay
I’m 19, starting to get fairly deeply involved in photography (Was not that deep when the photograph I posted here was taken). I am trying to get to a more understanding place and hope that I can achieve that. Then I plan on possibly going into journalism.

I could never get used to being called sir, it would always grate on me. When people started to call me ma’am, it was easy for me to get used to and accept.
