New job


Someone wrote…

I need to buy business clothing for my new job, and I have to decide whether to present as primarily masculine or feminine. I’m neutrois, and being uncomfortable with either, I’m looking at everything I can to try to find something resembling a neutral medium.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Figuring out


Someone wrote…

I identify as gender non-conforming, and I’m trying to figure out if I’m a trans guy. I feel way more comfortable in “male” clothing, and I like it when strangers call me sir/male identify me, but I’m not sure and don’t really know where to turn. Does anyone have any advice/stories/experiences they think could help?

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Knowing


Someone wrote…

I’m kind of freaking out. I know what I want to do and who to be but it seems that the world makes it so complicated. Am I making it bigger than it is or is it truly this challenging?

What’s your experience?

Profile: Damascus


You can call me… Damascus (Oliver Damascus Enderbury).

I identify as… a genderqueer transmale nerdly McNerdsome.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer he and him.

I’m attracted to… geeks, nerds, bibliophiles, and queers of all persuasions. Not misognynistic transphobic/homophobic dickholes, however–which include a certain percentage of the above list!

When people talk about me, I want them to… say, “Oh my gracious, what a delightfully interesting and lovely human being! I cannot believe he really met Joss Whedon!”

*shameless namedropping*

I want people to understand… French. Ou, le français, si on, en fait, est français/e.

About Damascus (Oliver Damascus Enderbury)
I wish I was as clever as Oscar Wilde, or as able to deliver florid prose with as much gravity and effect as Angela Carter, or perhaps as funny as Randall Munroe, but, failing that, I will only say that I am a university drop out who hopes to be a student again soon, 22 years old, pre-everything-related-to-medical-transition, rather effeminate (for a man), an owner of five dogs, a son of four (mostly) magnificent parents, a writer, an artist, an aspiring musician, a nascent activist, and a bad actor.

My spirit animal / Patronus / animal I would like to come back in another life as…is a ring-tailed lemur. There was this picture book when I was young…

Face toward the camera, teeth somewhat clenched as if surprised; half face with drag make-up, the other with stubble

Platypus Warrior


Submitted by Nika, the model and photographer.

“I’m transgender. This is me on a fairly androgynous day, ready to battle the minions of banality. Why the platypus? I feel that one of the best explanations of my gender is the platypus. I’m not entirely pangender, not agender, and not incredibly fluid. I am gender platypus.”

I’ve discovered that I’m a lot more butch than I thought. 41 years old and still learning, I guess.

Psyche


Skye wrote…

Everyday I wake up and wonder, is today going to be a good gender day, or a bad one? I wish that I could stop thinking about it and just let myself be. It seems like my worst gender enemy sometimes is my own psyche.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
