A bothfriend.

Someone wrote…

I don’t want a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I want a bothfriend.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

    this is SO CUTE! I also feel like I might use “bothfriend” to describe how I want to be in relationship with someone…. I also wanted someone to use boygirl-friend for me.

    Anyway I like it.

    Both of my lovers have come to this conclusion through my gender fluidity.

    We are providing change, one by one!

    I’ve always preferred to be a bothfriend over other things, and prefer the presence of bothfriends over other people I find.

    I’ve never thought of it like that until now though, but it’s been pretty much how I’ve acted all of my life.

    I’ve been looking for a more gender-neutral relationship term for a while. Bothfriend sounds realy good :)
