Profile: Er-Bear
You can call me… Erin if you don’t know me that well. But I really like it when people call me Er-Bear.
I identify as… a bigender MTF butch dyke. A boi. A grrrl. I dress vaguely femme-dykey and act vaguely butch, but I’ll often mix that up and see myself as a genderqueer boi.
Oh, and a steampunky nerd.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … Female is what I ask for because that’s what I like most of the time. When I’m trying to show my queer side, though, I love gender neutral pronouns of all types except “it.”
I’m attracted to… Women of all shapes and gender histories. Genderqueers who have enough of a feminine side for me to latch on to. Cuddly people who respect my identity.
When people talk about me, I want them to… tremble with despair. I mean, be respectful of my identity and treat me as a person.
I want people to understand… it’s not our parts that make us who they are. Those are just for fun.

It is interesting how we use some of the same words to describe ourselves except I am FTM. That is what I like about words like boi and genderqueer is that anyone can use them to describe themselves no matter where they started from or what their journey is.

…there’s something about you that reminds me of Tai from QuestionableContent. I dunno why. Um, yeah.
