You can call me… Hutch.

I identify as… a high-maintenance tranny queer.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer “he,” but am content with anyone looking at me and treating me like an adult.

I’m attracted to… big, classy ladies who don’t take any shit and gayest of the gay men.

When people talk about me, I want them to… not stop. Talk about me and talk about me and talk about me.

I want people to understand… that I don’t necessarily understand, and I don’t want to have to explain myself.

About Hutch.
A bitter ex-Mormon who enjoys long conversations over coffee more than going out partying. I’m in need of friends, connection, and community.

Every day I feel between genders. I wear my pink nail polish and my boyish hats and ties, my leather jacket and my jeans. People can like me or hate me. The people that love me are those that matter.

So I think I’ve figured it out. I identify as neither male nor female but feel best presenting as male. I’d like to take low doses of hormones and have top surgery. But I’m also okay with where I am now, since I actually know where I am.

“I identify as androgynous, but I’m always changing my mind, so perhaps gender-fluid would be more appropriate. I don’t really care that much; what I do care about is that for the first time I think I’ve managed to pull off a really feminine outfit – and that makes me happy!”

You can call me… Shawn or Shauna

I identify as… genderly confusing gender-queer automotive technician, who doesn’t like to live in a narrow box with a small mind.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … he or she, it all depends on the clothing that I’m wearing.

I’m attracted to… men and women who love life, and are not afraid to let their true self shine.

When people talk about me, I want them to… realize I’m just a person who is trying to be happy with myself and the world around me.

I want people to understand… that I don’t care if you refer to me in the masculine or feminine, as long as it isn’t done in anger or hate. I just want to love and be loved.

About Shawn or Shauna
A 40-something lipstick grease monkey who happens to wear a skirt and loves to look pretty (even if it’s just in my own head).

One morning I woke up only legally able to marry women. That evening I went to bed only legally able to marry men. What changed that day was that a judge signed a document that legally changed my gender from male to female. But, I felt like the same person between when I woke up and when I went to bed.

“I can’t break the rules because I’ve never known them. I have a secret desire to be male…so secret that I don’t know if I’m totally ready to accept it. I don’t want to transform fully; I wish I could play Androgyny instead of one side or the other. There’s no rule against or for that, right? Wouldn’t matter anyway.”

My mom and I have been talking about gender. She argues that by considering myself androgynous I’m overdefining myself. She thinks that if I could just let go of my questions about gender and think about myself as a person, then I might be happier.
It took me a few hours of thinking to realize that I really do just want to be a person. The reason I’m choosing to live outside the gender binary in the first place is because I don’t want to be defined -as a person- by anyone else’s conception of who I should be.

“After the 8th march parade in Istanbul, I am at the international feminist forum in Ankara, feeling really tired of discussions about whether trans-women and/or trans-men should participate in 8th march parades and asking myself the question of why they are trying to allow or ban people to come or go?”

Which one, which one? Why am I forced to choose my gender every day with things as simple as which locker room to use, because the gym doesn’t have any other options. Everyone else seems to know which one is right for them without paying any attention to it. Why do I think so much? Why does it have to matter?
