erin asks…
So hey, I have two questions. Firstly, what’s a good gender fluid/bi-gender haircut I can get that I can style for my male and female days?
Secondly, how do I come out to an un-expecting group of family and friends? I have been in the closet for about a year now…..

You can call me… Alana, or any nickname you can get from that (I love nicknames, hot damn).
I identify as… on the more female end of ambigender.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I’ve been identifying as female for long enough that it’s basically a beck and call now. Still, I’m fine with they/them/their or male pronouns or anything in between.
I’m attracted to… no-one! Bit of a misnomer, I’m asexual but I’m panromantic, again leaning towards feminine identities. But personality and intelligence are huge toppers, especially a good sense of humor.
When people talk about me, I want them to… say good things, if possible. I’d love to just go along in my life and not be troubled by any of my identities in social situations.
Or to comment on my puns. I do love puns.
I want people to understand… that asexuality is indeed an ID that exists, and it doesn’t mean I won’t get into a lasting and healthy relationship with someone.
About Alana
I am still a student, but I love everything related to science and/or creative writing with the burning passion of a supernova. Maybe two. I also make a lot of puns, and I am in the middle of too many television shows.

I found this great episode of an Australian show about queer youth on the topic of being genderqueer. I especially liked that it talked about finding connection, resources, and acceptance.

Good morning self.
Again I look at my chest as I wake.
Did they grow?
No.

I can’t try to make breast grow.
My friends tell me You look great.
I am trying hard to see that too.
What’s your experience?

I found this person’s vlog and it was really helpful. They are Australian, like me! And a non-binary/genderqueer trans* person who also identifies (I’m pretty sure) as a butch lesbian.

I’m disappointed.
It’s too hard to be a man. I always pictured freedom, and androgynous expression, essential things for me to be satisfied with who I am and how I consider myself good-looking.
Now my being male works against these two, as i’m a trans male in a non accepting country and environment, my gender therapists are not helpful and my family is pressing, combined with the suffering that my body brings me.
I just want my wings back. I’m somewhat afraid, and quiet and still.
I picture the beauty my society has forbidden me.

You can call me… Tab.
I identify as… I think of myself as genderless in my head, but for the sake of convenience (since it’s pretty obvious that I am 100% biologically female), I live as a woman. I will sometimes say “genderqueer,” because I’m still trying to figure all this stuff out.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … since I grew up with “she” and “her”, those are fine, but gender-neutral pronouns are cool too.
I’m attracted to… sexually-speaking, nobody–I’m asexual. I am panromantic, with a preference for men and non-binary people (the more androgynous-looking, the better). I’ve never been attracted to a woman before, but hey, stuff happens. I’m also attracted to intelligence, good humor and dorky smiles. :)
When people talk about me, I want them to… not make the mistake of holding me to typical female expectations. Just because I live as a woman for convenience doesn’t mean I will meet those expectations. I probably won’t, and trying to hold me to them is setting everyone up for disappointment.
I want people to understand… that just because I don’t make the rest of the world act differently toward me doesn’t mean that I don’t think of myself far differently than I did before I figured all this out. There are more than two ways to be, even if we ARE just talking about gender.
About Tab
This is the first year I started wearing shirts and ties, and I love it. I mentioned to my roommate that I wanted to get a binder (primarily because I think some of the clothes I wear would look better on me if I had one), and later on in the conversation, she asked me if I might want to transition later. I said no, because I wouldn’t feel any more or less comfortable as a man than I do as a woman. I would feel more comfortable, quite honestly, if “none” (or even “other”) was a more recognized option.
Also, I’m pretty new to this whole “genderless” thing, too… I just figured it out about a month or so ago. So if anything I said offended anyone, I’m sorry. Please cut me some slack.

As a transguy sometimes I get stuck in these weird situations with my queer friends, I’m stealth and happy about that.
However, it seems like sometimes I need to out myself to call on my friend’s mostly-ally-a-little-what-the-hell moments.

I had to share this. I love long hair. There is something magical about all kinds of men who are not afraid to express themselves in gender non-conforming ways — and they have long hair! Enjoy.
