Bathroom Dilemma


Someone wrote…

I don’t like to use men’s bathrooms because I’m afraid people will think I’m female. I don’t like to use women’s bathrooms because I’m afraid people will think I’m female.

What’s your experience?


And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Life & Death Personified


Someone wrote…

I don’t want to be a woman or a man. I want to be a spirit, a concept, a piece of art. I want to be life and death personified: the Grim Reaper, a butterfly, a prism.

What’s your experience?


And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Gender like Wind


Someone wrote…

Among other people, my gender weaves between feminine and masculine based on how they behave. By myself, I am genderless. That feels like wind: tangible, even if it is something I cannot see.

What’s your experience?

When the body is freed from Words…


Someone wrote…

Can I be who I want to be? Am I too old to be free anymore? I am aware of all the questions that arise once my body is freed from these words that are supposed to describe what I am and how I do who I am.

What’s your experience?


And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Profile: Aubrey


Medium-skinned person wearing several bracelets and two necklaces, sitting outside and holding a very small turtle in the palm of their hand, pursing their lips as if about to kiss the turtle.

You can call me… Aubrey, my name used to be Daryle but I wanted something a bit more… both gendery

I identify as… biologically a queer boy. Someimes I feel like a boy and other times I feel like a girl. most of the time I feel like neither.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I don’t mind. Most people call me a “he” I love how sometimes my mom and sister call me “she” on accident and I’m like… I don’t care.

I’m attracted to… Any kind of boy. with some kind of emotion. Whether they’re masculine or feminine. Though I really like my in-betweeners who fluctuate.

When people talk about me, I want them to… see me for what’s on the inside. I don’t make sense all the time. but since when did anyone. really?

I want people to understand… There’s more than life than “he” said, “she” said, it’s almost like they forget that “they” do exist. Maybe I’m just different. I try to just go with what I feel. and I’m okay with change. Things my happen over a lengthy period of time and I might change how I feel so I’ll change what I look like on the outside. My gender has absolutely nothing to do with my body parts but everything to do with how I feel inside.

About Aubrey
I’m Aubrey.
I have six toes… not really :)
I’m fairly young.
I’m nineteen.
I really like boys a lot.
If I told you I liked this world, I’d be a liar.
I like my own better.
I’m about as queer as it gets.
I’m okay with that.
I’m okay with a lot of things.

“One of the Boys”


Someone wrote…

I can be called “he” all I want, but I don’t think I’ll ever be accepted as a “one of the boys.”

Profile: Ian


Pale person with very short light hair, tilting their head down and peering up at the camera with a smile. They have two piercings in their one visible ear.

You can call me… Ian.

I identify as… queer, transmasculine, gender-crazy, FtWTF, grey-space.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I don’t really care what you use. I dislike female pronouns if the person saying them has no idea what they mean to me, but sometimes it can’t be helped. I’m comfortable with he, she, they, it, zie, or whatever else you can come up with. I don’t mind people switching in the middle of conversations, either.

I’m attracted to… practically anyone. I especially like girls with dreads and tattoos, and boys who genderfuck like rock stars.

When people talk about me, I want them to… GET OVER my gender expression. I am so much more than what I’m wearing today. Talk to me, not my skins.

I want people to understand… that everyone is just made of clay, and everyone changes in almost every way. Just because my changes are more visible doesn’t make me different from anyone else.

About Ian
I like Nacho Cheese Doritos, tea, long-sleeved shirts, mosh pits, climbing trees, and making lists. I write abstract poetry and take some half-assed photos.

Where to find Distinct Categories…


Someone wrote…

I was trying to think of something that really is split into two distinct categories. All I could think of was chess pieces.

What’s your experience?
