I’m a lesbian trans woman so I’m not attracted to guys, but I still feel hurt when all the perceived females in the room are being hit on while I’m treated like “one of the guys”.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

You can call me… Soulless Hipster

I identify as… a human being that can’t identify as anything other than very, very queer. I think the last time I tried, I came up with man-hating pansexual; before that it was asexual lesbian.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I like “that sassy asshole.” I honestly don’t mind being called he, him, she, they, her, or even it.

I’m attracted to… green eyes, androgyny, and cleverness

When people talk about me, I want them to… not label me. I can’t even think of a label for myself!

I want people to understand… that gender is not black and white, it’s a whole rainbow. Just because I have breasts and menstruate, I don’t classify myself as female. Gender is fluid and beautiful in all it’s identifications.

The pronoun ”they” makes me feel like I’m a bunch of people. I kind of like it.

I told my mother I don’t know what I am anymore. She said she’ll love me all the same, so it doesn’t matter.

But it matters to me, and I don’t have anyone to talk to.

You can call me… Spooky

I identify as… A gothic Homoflexible lesbian. Crossdresser or femme. A lipstick dyke. A PRINCE

As far as third-person pronouns go, … Her or him depending on what I am dressed as.

I’m attracted to… Women for relationships. Sex based on what I feel like. I love femmes that I can protect and take care of. Men that I can use as the male population used me. Only one man I actually care about. Women.. I am your Prince

When people talk about me, I want them to… Understand what they say when they say it. Not to be judgmental and think they know me if they don’t. Not to make assumptions about me and yes their opinions can affect me.

I want people to understand… I am autistic. I like girls. I am me, I am myself. I will be who I want to be. I am a nice person but can be offended. People make mistakes. You get three with me.

About Spooky
Hi, you can call me Spooky. I am pleased to meet you. Um.. I hate these ‘about me’ parts. You got my interests there. I am not only loving, I am intellectual, flirty, romantic and dominant. With girls I prefer to wear the pants. I am not really looking for a full relationship right now. What I need is friends who understand and who I can be close with. I am what I would like to call a ‘lipstick dyke.’ I like to be boyish but not overly rugged and perverse. A gentleman and a lady all in one. I have my girlie times and then my dykish times and finally when the full ‘man-sona’ comes out. Higher Functioning Autistic. I hope you can understand and help me to understand you. My weakness? Blonds, smaller girls.

Remember those detective stories where an innocent man is framed flawlessly?
Everyone has their own theory about what my transness “means”; emotional dysfunction, projected father issues, something that can be explained in clinical terms.

I feel framed. I can’t prove them wrong, all I can do is ask them to have faith in me.
Sometimes I feel like they’ve already decided, and I’m already convicted.

Does anyone else have days where they wake up feeling one gender and switch halfway through? I don’t even know how to begin explaining my gender mood swings to the people around me.

Schrödinger’s Gender:

I exist in a superposition of gender; it is only by interaction with an outside observer that I settle into some semblance of male or female.
