You can call me… Dominique or Lelouch…it changes depending on how I present.

I identify as… asexual, aromantic and usually neutrois, although I am fairly fluid. Also a feminist and socialist and artist.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I’m used to the female pronouns since I present as female currently. However I would prefer gender neutral pronouns, I’m still fairly new to those though.

I’m attracted to… I don’t feel sexual or romantic attraction, but I do feel aesthetic attraction to cis-men who defy traditional gender roles e.g. wearing long hair. I like Ezra Miller. He’s great and many Korean pop stars since they wear make-up and have a ‘feminine’ look mixed with a male look. I like it when the two opposites are mixed, I guess.

When people talk about me, I want them to… realise that my clothes, hairstyle and make-up are a reflection of my artistic personality rather than my gender. For me, all those things are genderless. I can be biologically female, identify as male, but still wear eyeliner and style my hair. I don’t think that’s complicated, I just like drawing on my face and taking care of the way I look.

I want people to understand… that I’m not offended by people asking questions, as long as the setting is appropriate, and I don’t get humiliated in front of people. I would also appreciate no jokes about gender roles, since they’re nearly always offensive

About Dominique / Lelouch
College student, still discovering my identity. Tumblr is Dominique-Mae although not ‘out’ yet. Only just got a camera so will be uploading pictures throughout my journey of trying out different gendered ‘looks’.

In some ways my parents didn’t really want a girl. In some ways they didn’t really get one, but that was different.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

“Sometimes I feel like I wanna be a pretty boy and just embrace the eyes I was born with. When I wear makeup, I feel a sense of power and leadership buzz through my body, like I’m the king of the world.”

You can call me…  Christopher Dowdy or Chris Dowdy.

I identify as…  an SDA FTM Christian. An SDA Christian is a Seventh-day Adventist Christian.

[I believe] an FTM is a Female to Male Transsexual. A transsexual is some One that hasn’t had any surgeries. A transgender person is some One that has had surgeries. Note that some people use Transgender to describe themselves because the word Transgender is more commonly used. The word transsexual is an older term. I’m defining these terms because I’ve been asked to do this when posting on other sites.

I’m attracted to… any One that can love me for who I am, even if that changes down the line.

When people talk about me, I want them to… be respectful. I want them to use male pronouns.
I want people to understand that God made me who I am … I’m not extremely masculine, nor am I extremely feminine. I want people to understand that we are not all the same. Every One’s different in their own way. Please don’t try and make me be any other person then who I am. Please understand that this may or may not change. Do not try and shame me in to being who you want me to be. I need and want you to love me unconditionally. I know that every One can’t do this. I’m just asking you to try?

I want people to understand… that I’m Visually Impaired. I can’t see out of my left eye. I can only see a little out of my right eye. I play a sport called Goalball. I play for my state. I play on a girls team for now. I hope to some day play on a guys team. If I do not build my skills up to where I would feel comfortable playing on a guys team, I will be ok staying on a girls team. Goalball is a Paralympics sport played all around the world. If you would like to find out more about Goalball, you can go to youtube.com. There are lots of videos from all over the world. I like meeting and hanging out with new people. I would like to meet other SDA’s that are L G B T Q Q I A P. I hope I didn’t leave out any One. If I did I’m sorry. Please forgive me?

About You can call me Christopher Dowdy or Chris Dowdy.

“I identify fully as a male. I would dress like this a lot if I could, but now I am hiding who I am because it´s too much trouble. I just feel I need to get this out there since right now I can´t be who I want to be in my life.”

I don’t know whether cutting my hair would help me on my path to understanding my own gender. On the one hand, it would make me look less like a female, which is definitely a plus. On the other hand, I like my long hair. It’s wild and golden, and besides, some men have long hair. It would be nice if long hair wasn’t always read as cisgendered, huh?

“I took this photo on a day I felt more myself than I had ever since the day I cut my hair short and started really looking more androgynous. It was a happy day, and a start of better times.”

When I told my mom I was going to participate in a Trans* march at Pride, all she could say was “march pretty” and I realized how often as a female bodied individual I have been instructed to be “pretty.” Being gender queer, for me, means the freedom to be something other than pretty.
