I am a MAAB 29yo that has recently come to terms with my genderfluid pansexual identity. I am struggling with feelings of isolation as I do not know anyone else that is dealing with similar issues or feelings. I am just starting to discover sites like this and other social networking groups (like genderqueerchat on youtube) and it is a great relief to know I am not alone. But, I still have a strong desire to connect with others in a more tangible way… to have someone who can give me a hug and tell me they understand what I am going through. I could really just use a friend.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

How do you navigate aggressively gendered spaces, like gym locker rooms? I want to get in shape and work out, but no gym near me has a single-stall bathroom.
I’d just exercise outside but sometimes it’s cold, rainy, etc. I can pass in street clothes, but to work out you generally wear less and need to breathe.

I come on here and see people so much older than me who are either still struggling or have just discovered themselves, and it makes me afraid that I’ll never find myself.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer gender neutral pronouns like Ze, Zir.

I’m attracted to… androgyny, gender-nonconforming people. Compassion, empathy, intelligence, an unending rage against kyriarchy.

“This beach was a favorite haunt of mine during high school and college. Many late nights were spent staring out at the water, wondering who I was, feeling lost and alone. In the past, the beach had brought on feelings of being uncomfortable and at war with my body. Revisiting this location allowed me to see how far I’ve come in loving, accepting, and finding joy within myself.”

You can call me… Rusty.

I identify as… female and genderqueer.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer “he” and “him” and “his,” but consider it a hassle to remind people all the time. Most people call me by feminine ones. If you ask me, I will tell you to call me by whichever gender pronouns you think fit, to test you. But it makes me sooo happy to hear a few of my friends greet me with “buddy” or “bro,” etc, or refer to me as “he.” Just don’t call me “miss” or “ma’am!”

I’m attracted to… punks! Male feminists make my heart ache. Compassion. “Good” dancers, consent, hip hop. Playful eyes and desensitized eyes. Mostly a resonance of spirit, or perhaps an illusion of that resonance. I think my attraction to female-bodied people has been buried by years of homophobic affection, which I hope to get over.

When people talk about me, I want them to… be impressed? I don’t tend to think anyone thinks about me :)

I want people to understand… that it’s okay to question authority and act against it. It’s trite but important. I want people to be their own idols and consider vulnerability as part of strength.

About Rusty.
I’m a sociology student/wannabe musician who works with a sexual abuse survivor program. I like to make things with my hands, wilderness survival, training to fight, dancing and dressing up fabulously. Full of rage and love.

I have a female body. I like when my girlfriend calls me ‘they’ instead of ‘she’, and I love being called handsome and manly. I still am her girlfriend, I still feel that way. It’s funny how sometimes you need to try a couple different combinations to see what works.

I’m transmasculine, in the process of transitioning. I’ve recently found that in bed, I really dislike gendered language and names (both anatomy and personal). Does anyone have ideas/suggestions for body part/pet names that are gender neutral?

…That awkward, wonderful, equivocal moment when you’re not sure if the cashier addressed you as “man” or “ma’am.”
