I’ve always dreamed of getting to a point in my life where I can appreciate my body for what it is – not what society has told me it is.

I feel like I won’t be truly happy until I come out as a genderfluid ftmtf, but I know that the moment I do, I’ll be put into that box and I’ll lose the fluidity I cherish most.

You can call me… Cesario.
I identify as… bodyless. I’m neither here nor there, not quite able to identify with a defined term. I just detest being confined to a body that projects assumptions about me, without my consent. Ideally, I’d like to slide easily into the realm of ‘unidentifiable.’ Simply put, my secondary sexual characteristics make me want to scream.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I’ve been toying with gender neutral pronouns. Their current usage is marginalised at best, but the grammarian within me detests the use of singular generic they. Hmph.
I’m attracted to… people who play gameboy on public transit.
When people talk about me, I want them to… be utterly confused and personally offended.
I want people to understand… that having OCD doesn’t mean that you qualify for a spot on Showcase’s ‘Hoarders.’
About Cesario.
Cesario just wants to eat chocolate and scroll through the internet.

When I wear a dress and makeup and styled hair, I always feel like a man in a dress. When I wear a suit and tie, with no makeup and slicked hair, I feel like a woman.

You can call me… Sloane.
I identify as… A masculine identified gender queer. Most days. I love existing in the in-between..I love it when I feel like I give the cashier at the grocery a little mind fuck once I open my mouth to speak. It makes me giggle.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I am much to complicated for them. “She” irks me somedays, other days I could care less. I pretty much roll with the punches. Masculine pronouns make me pretty smiley though.
I’m attracted to… Femmes!
When people talk about me, I want them to… Focus on Sloane, not on the ambiguity, the androgyny. And if they do focus on it, I hope people understand that this is me, I am not some choice to be made. This is exactly where/who/what I want to be.
I want people to understand… That I am a boy, most of the time.
That I love my cunt as much as my bound chest and my faux sideburns.
That if one more person asks me “So when are you going to transition?” I might explode.
I am always a work in progress.
But I am no one’s “project.”
About Sloane.
Sloane, soon to be 24, Cincinnati area. Recently discovered my GQ-ness & learning to revel in it every single damn day.

I just realized that if you put my gender identity on a linear spectrum, it would end up looking like a Box-and-Whisker plot. The simplicity of the analogy makes me absolutely giddy.

Gender is not black and white. It’s as diverse and as beautiful as the many colors along the coral reefs of Hawaii and amongst the flower fields in Holland or in the temples in India. There is so much beauty in all of us.
