You can call me… Jes

I identify as… a female who is a bit more than a little unsure, art student, thinker, believer, and a lost, misunderstood person.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I will respond to anything, on occasions the male ones bother me. On others, I don’t even notice.

I’m attracted to… People who are a joy to be around, strong-willed, inspirational, and will help me grow in life.

When people talk about me, I want them to… respect me and my photography.

I want people to understand… that every day is a opportunity to learn.

About Jes
Born in Mexico. Moved to Texas. Started art school. I’ve been broken and fixed. I love to ponder on life.

Pronouns make more of a difference than I ever thought they would…I guess you don’t realize how much you need things until you get them.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

You can call me… Nikki

I identify as… transwoman/androgyne.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … female or neutral, zhe, hir.

I’m attracted to… any person, I really like transmen or anyone who doesn’t meet the gender binary, because I relate to them better :D
I am a pansexual transexual!

When people talk about me, I want them to… say that I’m fine, to say that I finally worked through the garbage in life.

I want people to understand… beauty in androgyny.

About Nikki
I was born in January, 1992. I spent childhood trying to be a normal girl, but my body made it hard. Skip past depressing puberty… I learn what it is to be trans and find words for who I am. Spent high school coming out to friends and myself until senior year, where I make it my life’s mission to become the perfect girly stereotype. Now, HRT for two months, SRS in a couple years (covered by insurance thank goodness!), and nothing is more beautiful to me than the spectrum of gender and gender expression. Fortunately, I stopped trying to be the perfect girl before it drove me mad!

Everybody else I know, whether cis or trans, seems to know very strongly which gender they would like to be perceived as. I have no idea whether I’m happy being cis or whether my life would be better if I were to transition or express my gender confusion.

You can call me… Annie / little one / anniesaurus rex

I identify as… a queer cisfemale, but sometimes I am a dinosaur.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … you may use “she,” but “dinosaur” works too.

I’m attracted to… cismales, cisfemales, transmen, transwomen, dinosaurs, intelligent people, book lovers, Vonnegut addicts, nerds, dykes, androgyny, people who can sing, people who write, and people who are people.

When people talk about me, I want them to… see beyond my height and how I present myself and to like me for who I am, not what’s between my legs or under my shirt.

I want people to understand… that I’m unique and I intend to stay this way.

About Annie
I’m Annie. I’m a freshman in college, and I’m from Brooklyn, New York. I skipped my senior year of high school. I like books, art, music, floral patterns, flannel shirts, rodents, my friends, old Hollywood movies, cats, poetry, cuddling, cats, caffeine, and oxygen.

They told me I was born between sexes and my gender slipped into that gap. People seem to want me to find that again, but it’s gone now.

You can call me… Theo

I identify as… transgender male, trans man, ruggedly handsome.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … He/his/him is preferred. “They” or “them” are nice too. I don’t mind ze/hir either.

I’m attracted to… People. I like artists, thinkers, people that don’t accept the norm. The kind of person that gets strange looks, or say something taboo. People that don’t accept one line of thinking, and accept that everything changes.

When people talk about me, I want them to… remember who I am, not what’s in my pants. Anyone that knows me knows I care. Thats all I’m about, caring. As hard and for as long as possible.

I want people to understand… that life is all about growth and evolution. I wish people would accept more neutral terms to describe people, but more than this, I wish being trans wasn’t just a joke to so many. It’s not funny, and it shouldn’t be spoken about lightly.

About Theo
My full name is Skyler Theodor Blair Uberig. I’m a 23-year-old trans man working for the Canadian Forces (thats right, I’m a soldier) trying to figure out my place in today’s world (and grow a beard, fuck I want a beard).

I don’t like “living as male” and “living as female,” I’m living as me. People just seem to see that differently than they used to.
