To the genderqueer parents out there: what do your kids call you? Do you just settle for mom or dad, or is there a neutral parent title?

“I wasn’t allowed in the Boy scouts.
But now I’ve got the hat.
I wear my own uniform.
I’ve earned every badge.”
You can call me… Ariel
I identify as… a largely feminine lady who has her masculine days.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … she, her, etc. I suppose I wouldn’t mind the occasional “he,” but it’s not what I feel.
I’m attracted to… everybody. Well, men and women with a large preference for women. I like natural and nonconventional, but I don’t care about feminine or masculine. A masculine woman? Sure. Feminine? Cool. Feminine boy? Masculine boy? It’s all the same. Androgynous? Oh my, yes.
When people talk about me, I want them to… feel I’m trustworthy, reliable, honest, and good at what I do, which is music and singing/acting.
I want people to understand… that most of the stuff they get hung up on is just a matter of a few yards of cloth and who people plant their lips on. I think that if more people thought of it that way, there’d be less hate and more healthy neutrality.
About Ariel
I’m Ariel. I consider myself bisexual (or maybe pansexual). I love singing, acting, writing, and baking. I’m also very interested in gender studies.

“Yesterday I had to check my gender on a form.
I was given a box for M and a box for F.
I checked the gap in between.”
Someone wrote…
One often hears “she is a beautiful woman” or “he is a handsome man”. I, however…I want to simply be a beautiful, a handsome, an attractive, a fascinating, human being.

“This is me in a fem and masculine outfit photo-shopped together, attempting to show both sides of my gender identity.”
Gemma asks…
Hi, I’ve recently decided that I want to try out using gender neutral pronouns. However, I’m not a fan of the ze/hir. I’ve been trying to look up different ones and I’m just not sure what to use. How do other people choose what pronouns they want to use for themselves?

“My partner uses female pronouns, but identifies as genderqueer. She feels that she’s primarily masculine but contains elements of both sexes. I see her as an androgyne, and I love that sense of duality.”

This is the card I was dealt: transgender man. You are witnessing me accepting the cards I was dealt. I was never dealt the woman card, so how in the world could you expect me to accept it?

“I took this picture of my lover one year ago, when they weighed only 90 lbs. I was just beginning to try and understand their aversion to food, which turned out to be a much more troubling obsession with starving their body into what they considered a more feminine shape.”
Someone wrote…
I’m not transitioning from one gender to any other, I’m becoming more me. I’m waking up every morning and my skin fits a little better; I like who I see in the mirror.

About Greyson
Erm, hai I’m Greyson. Underaged, but I still know exactly who I am. I love photography and friends >:3 Sometimes I’m a bit emotional, but … my body is still female, if you get what i’m sayin’. c’: I tend to be attracted to FTMs the most. :3 I’m pretty random and wild. I’m a stay-at-home kid though. ;D I think I’m pretty easy to get along with. As long as you’re not boring, I’m okay :3 I feel more comfortable being called “he” and “him.” Parents haven’t caught on. My mom is trying, but my dad is TOTALLY against everything. -.- My sister is very very supportive, and I love her more than anything in the universe.
When I get older, I’m hoping to start the whole T shots and stuff. I’ve been to counseling, but they don’t seem to help me with anything. I’ll go with the flow if I have to :3
-.- that was long.
My fingers are getting numb, So I’ll go now.
Kbai.

” This is me with my (newly cut) hair and clothing styled two different ways: feminine and masculine. I cut it yesterday and since have felt so at peace. …It’s only been one day, and already I feel more liberated, happy, and like myself than I have in a long time. I’m not nervous about what my family or friends think, either. I’m excited to show them. For a step I thought I’d never take, it sure felt amazing.”
