On the Hunt for a Tux

You can call me… Aeron
I identify as… Agender
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I’m not too picky, but they/them sounds really cool.
I’m attracted to… Various kinds of people! I find many cute.
When people talk about me, I want them to… Just see me as a person, and the fact that I’m still me no matter what I identify as.
I want people to understand… This world is filled with all sorts of different people. It’s impossible to stick people into tiny little boxes and expect them all to fit. Humans are too diverse for that, and it should be celebrated!
About Aeron
Aeron is a silly artist doing what they can to become a professional. They hope they can make it out there!

Last year, when I finally got the guts to shave off all my long hair I remember how happy and free it made me feel, and how it began to close the gap in my mind between how I looked and how I felt I should look.

This digital book is like a gender 101. It would be very helpful to start the conversation with someone who doesn’t know anything about gender. It’s also very affirming to browse for someone who is gender non-conforming in one form or another. I also like that it’s open access and they encourage people to download and distribute it.

For awhile I was playing straight and just fell hard for a queer man who helped me let my queerness back out.
Now I’m plunged into the same level of “huh?” as I had when I was first coming out in my late teens.. So nice to find a space where all the in-between is embraced.

“Attention: People With Body Parts” commenced as a drive to collect letters from folks who have written to one of their body parts. Our bodies are filled with histories and identities, which change the way people look at each other and look in the mirror. Together, we self-construct and self-destruct our bodies. This project is about accessibility of control, celebration, and space for connection to and from body parts. This project is about establishing safe spaces for anyone who has been told or forced to believe safety is not something he/she/ze/they can find within the home, the body.

I never truly felt feminine or sexy until I shaved my head and started dressing like a boi.

You can call me… Bill or Mina will do for me. Presently, I am in the middle of defining myself.
I identify as… gender neutral. I have been raised to think of myself as male, but the truth is a great deal more complicated.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I will go with what is used, presently it isn’t as important as just talking.
I’m attracted to… men.
When people talk about me, I want them to… see me as the caring, compassionate, emphatic person I try to be.
I want people to understand… I am doing the best to get through from one day to the next. I am as clueless as everyone else. And frequently more scared than you about being me.
About Bill/Mina:
I am 56. I have blue eyes. Up until August of 2010, I was relatively content living life as a gay male. That changed because I had my prostate removed, which essentially neutered me. It also has made me review my gender identity. Because while I am still physically male, I no longer am really male for all physical purposes. Not that I ever really was. But when my equipment was functioning, I could at least fake it. Now, I am for all purposes a female with testicles, and a penis. At least that is how I see it from my viewpoint. The equipment is there, but no longer has a reason for existing as it no longer does anything.

Who said I have to be a boy or a girl? Why can’t I just be “me”? “Me” is pretty great and “me” doesn’t want to be one or the other.
All my life I’ve been labeled as a girl, and while there isn’t really anything wrong with that, no one asked how I wanted to be labeled, which is really just another issue, there really isn’t a specific label for me. Anything other than “me” just isn’t right. Is it really that complicated?

What’s a good way to explain the ‘FtM’ feeling? When someone asks, I say that I feel as if I’m trapped in the wrong body,and feel I should have been born a man, but they just get really confused. All ideas very much appreciated. Thanks!
