A million bucks


Reposted via nice skirt, bro.

“…she added, ‘Just wanted to tell you that you have a great body for that dress and your legs are amazing.’

I’ve been having some bad feelings about my body lately and even though I definitely still need to get into some better eating habits and exercise more, it really made my day to have her say that. I still feel like a million bucks.”

Profile: Larkalicious


Larkalicious

You can call me… Larkalicious.

I identify as… a gay trans man (with homoflexible tendencies…. sometimes) ;) .

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I like he, HATE she (it hurts my feelings!), and will definitely respond to they.

I’m attracted to… feminine men, and um…. yeah…. feminine men.

When people talk about me, I want them to… respect my privacy and also respect my gender … this is sometimes a very difficult thing to balance.

I want people to understand… that my transness is not on show. That the whole world needs to catch up on its research and get it. I’m not offended by good-natured mistakes, but I am sick of them. I want people to understand that my difference is beautiful and important, but does not define me. I want them to understand that I’m just a person.

About Larkalicious
I’m 30 years old, mid-hormonal transition, a student, an earth lover, and a radical hippie queer with a dash of redneck thrown in ;)

Profile: Carol


Carol

You can call me… Carol.

I identify as… human, academic, artist, friend, food taster/experimenter, androgynous alien with an equally masculine and feminine erotic power.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … you can call me rock, cloud, water bottle, IT, whatever you’d like. I’m over being anthropocentric. No pronoun shapes me.

I’m attracted to… new knowledge.

When people talk about me, I want them to… to take note that I’m just trying my absolute best to be a good life form and spread lightness/goodness. Also, I’d like my humor to be admired.

I want people to understand… that all life forms (from bacteria to whales to ancient trees) on earth are related and interconnected.

Cut my hair


Someone wrote…

I (faab) stood in front of my mirror yesterday in my tanktop and cut my hair ends. I turned my back to the mirror to see if I cut a straight line. I saw the hairs that had fallen down on the skin on my back, on my neckline. This was such a happy moment, it looked like I had my own manly backhair. I walked around with a grin on my face for the rest of the day!!

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Walking


Someone wrote…

Some weeks ago, i attended a show in my neighborhood. i went there by myself, and ended up having to come back home alone at 4 am. Since the gig was only a block away from my house, i decided to go by walking.

As i walked, i started to feel a bit insecure for being a “woman” alone in the street in the middle of the night. I was dressing real butch, so i thought – what if people couldn’t perceive me as a girl when they saw me? i put my hood on, hands in my pockets, and started to walk more “manly” – shoulders up, controlling my hips. No one actually crossed my path, but i felt (and it kind of saddens me, since it seems you can’t be safe being a female) a bit more secure by doing this.

My gender presentation varies, so i don’t feel like i “am” really that androgynous. in some occasions, people have already misgendered me as a boy – but this time was actually the first i actually TRIED to pass.

So far, i haven’t told this story to anyone, but i secretly enjoyed that moment a lot!

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Freed up


Someone wrote…

Until recently, I didn’t question the binary, but always felt a bit uncomfortable, but I didn’t know what I was uncomfortable with. I was assigned female at birth, enjoy dressing as a girl, and most of the time I act feminine, but I don’t feel just female.
The discovery that not everyone perceives gender as binary has really freed me up inside, even if it hasn’t changed much about how I act.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Question: Androphilic terminology


Wiley asks…

Does anyone know of an androphilic version of the gender identity “boi?” I know that the identity is rather unique to the lesbian and transmasculine community, and that desire is a fairly integral part of the identity, so I’m not even sure this word would have such a cousin. I was just wondering if there is an androphilic counter part floating around which I haven’t heard of.

Please post your response in the comments below.

who? what? me?


Submitted by JG, the model and photographer.

“I was feeling artistic and awkward. I took this self portrait while hiking in Washington State. I’m really uncomfortable with myself as a person, in addition to my gender/sexuality, and my expression here really captures that.”

neither/nor


Someone wrote…

I don’t know what I am anymore. If I’m non-binary and unhappy with both my options, what do I do? One set of gendered pronouns bothers me more than another but either way, neither of them fit me.

How do I handle body dysphoria and social anxiety around gender when I’m neither/nor?

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
