The person that I am


Someone wrote…

I celebrate my femininity by cross dressing. I have a double life, and two names to go with it. I don’t think I’ll ever transition to female, it just isn’t who I am, although I know one or two people who are transitioning, and I really admire their courage do go through that and live the life they deserve!

I suppose that is what I have been learning to do as well – to live my life as the person that I am, rather than living as the person that I felt other folks expected me to be.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Pretty?


Submitted by PrinceCharmling, the model and photographer.

“Self-important selfie~
You know the ‘ulzzangs’ with the big eyes V-line chin, long glossy hair, etc.
Now I’m starting to realize I don’t look all that ugly. Just different.
I call it handsome xD
And I’ve decided to embrace it”

Profile: Heidi


You can call me… Heidi.

I identify as… gender queer.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … her

I’m attracted to… people…. I am engaged to an M to F trans person.

When people talk about me, I want them to… not judge me and accept me as a Christian.

I want people to understand… that you can love and serve God as you are.

About Heidi
I am a 31-year-old newly realized gender queer from Southwest Florida with a wonderful M-to-F trans fiancée, an 8-year-old son and 8-year-old future step daughter. We need support for transitioning with children and with familial rejection.

Favorite Makeup Look


Submitted by Edward, the model.

“I use makeup as my personal war paint against the gender binary. It helps me feel more secure in my gender.”

Attainment


Someone wrote…

I genuinely like the idea of attaining a body that acknowledges and facilitates my maternal/nurturing instincts, my preferred female pronouns, my female self expression, and my phallocentric sexuality.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Just Mickey


Submitted by Mickey, the model and photographer.

“I’m a pans grrrrrlyboi. I really just wanna love people. I think I was born with a vagina because, and I am ashamed to say this, I would never have looked in this direction if I wasn’t trans. I used to beat myself up over my sexuality. Not anymore. I love androgyny, which explains my fixation with people like David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Joey Ramone, etc.”

Recommendation: A Call for Cisgender Action


lorainekv recommends…

A Call for Cisgender Action

How Cisgender People Can Help

Change in everyday institutions, such as your school, office, home, church, and non-profit organizations won’t happen overnight. However, you can speed up that process by showing peers, colleagues, and bosses that gender inclusive environments are important to everyone.

Hi Genderfork friends, this is lorainekv checking in. This article is my own piece – I wrote it to get some queer visibility going on Medium.com. Please feel free to leave me your feedback and ideas, either in the comments below or within Medium. Thank you!

Instructor


Someone wrote…

My instructor messed up my pronouns in class the other day(I’m trans), but as they spoke they corrected and moved on. No big deal was made, it didn’t feel awkward, and I thought little of it afterward. But then I received this email the morning after:

“Hi [my name],

I just wanted to let you know that I realize I made a mistake in class yesterday.

I did apologize, correct myself and move on in the lecture but I wanted you to know that I really did feel badly about it.

I hope you can accept my apology. I will try harder in the future to make sure I don’t make the same mistake again.

Thank you, [my instructor’s name]”

There are no words to describe the happiness that I felt while reading that email. I feel truly lucky to have instructors and classmates that respect who I am.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Question: Absolute confusion


Kellie asks…

Where can I find closure? Peace? I have been at war with myself for about 9 years trying to figure out who I am. In the recent months I have been trying very very hard to identify who I am and what I believe and I have, at best, determined that I am at least pansexual and genderqueer. Though I feel somewhat glad that I’m finding out who I really am, I feel like I don’t belong anywhere when it comes to my community.

Some days I enjoy being a female, but some days I just want to tape the tatas and I don’t even want to be looked at as a female. I have cut my hair very short and wear men’s clothing more often which is liberating, but I just don’t feel…right still. I know that I know myself better than any other person…but it’s so intense sometimes that I have considered multiple times to go see a therapist.

Is this just something that I will have to live with?

Courage to be the Exception



A longer letter from the parent here. “Here’s my 4 year old daughter talking about how kids at preschool teased her for wearing ‘boy’ shoes…How many kids have the courage to be the ‘exception?’ And why has straying from pink or princess become an exception?”

The clothes we wear


Someone wrote…

Why do pants have to be the only gender-neutral clothes? Can’t I be gender-neutral or genderqueer and FAAB and still wear skirts and dresses? My gender is about how I want to be treated, and how I want to be seen – not what I wear.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Profile: Dani


Dani

You can call me… Dani, Dan.

I identify as… I’m used to female, but Genderqueer is how I feel as an identity.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … Again, I am used to “she” but at times I would rather be “he” or “sir.” ;)

I’m attracted to… femmes. Strong, fiery, opinionated, smart, fierce femmes. Pretty, genderqueer cismales, the more make-up, the better!

When people talk about me, I want them to… see me as Dani without pronouns.

I want people to understand… how I feel and how I look don’t always match up, and I like it like that. When someone makes a “mistake” about my gender, I am not offended, instead I feel what I am trying to do is working.

About Dani, Dan.
I am a DJ and learning about carpentry. I like blurring every kind of line and making people think more than they would like to. With my music I make myself vulnerable and wish to make my listeners feel the same.
