As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer “Niko” and “Niko’s”. Like if someone says “He went to his house”, I would like “Niko went to Niko’s house”
I’m attracted to… Men <3
When people talk about me, I want them to… To treat me like any other person.
I want people to understand… That I’m not offended if you make a mistake, and that it gets hard to get used to people with a different gender. I understand it will take time to learn.
About Niko
Hello :). I am 16 y/o androsexual mascandrogyne. My journey with gender has been a long one, and this is what I have come up with. I also struggle with mental illness, though it isn’t related to my gender.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … they/them please!
I’m attracted to… all or most genders I guess? It’s complicated.

I want people to understand… Why misgendering and deadnaming me makes me so upset.
About Gainey Castel H.
I’m a 16 year old college student living in California. I’d really love to be a writer, but my depression interferes with my productivity and creates massive amounts of writer’s block.
When people talk about me, I want them to… Try to understand instead of putting me down for having a female body but looking like a boy and staying single because no one wants to date the genderless kids right?
I want people to understand… I’m a really great guy once you get to know me but I’m really awkward in the begining and don’t have many friends
About Dustin

About Theresa
I have 17 year old neuropathways, a 2nd level infant soul, and a disordered personality. I wouldn’t want to be anyone else, no matter how many years I spent forcing myself to want that. I’m proud to write this.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I go with feminine pronouns mostly because I look feminine and it is the easiest for my surrounding. Maybe I’ll change that in the future. Wow. That actually gives me something to think now.
I’m attracted to… crazy, reliable and romantic people (mostly men but also women)
When people talk about me, I want them to… be nice because words can cut deeper than knives. Believe me… I’ve been through that several times.

I identify as… queer punk (bisexual, gender questioning, currently settled on androgynous)
As far as third-person pronouns go, … whatever you got suits me just fine. Though most people see female, I’ve been referred to as he/they and that is perfectly fine too.
I’m attracted to… guys in crop tops, Shannyn Sossamon-type weird gals and anything inbetween.
When people talk about me, I want them to… drop the ‘for a girl’ suffix, and just accept who I am.
I want people to understand… that I want to pursue a predominantly male profession, I can hold my own when doing hard labour and I wish people would stop assuming I’ll be no good at manual tasks. And also that just because I’m growing my hair back out doesn’t invalidate my queerness. Just please be open and accepting.
About Liz
Like nigh on everyone else in the world, I’ve always felt different. From a young age music was there for me, and in my late teens I found punk rock. I’ve always dressed like the people I admire, be it male or female. I’m lucky in that only once or twice in my life has my Mum uttered the words ‘you look like a boy’ with the implied translation of ‘be more girly’, but my parents have never told me not to be myself or tried to stop me even if they didn’t personally like it.
You can call me… Eli… that is the name i feel comfortable with for me
I identify as… Genderfluid Pansexual, i dress like a man but and still have a girl-ish tendency at times and i get called a girl pretty much all the time. But im not entirely sure if I’m Genderfluid, or Transgender… something about having my chest have no boobs and looking in the mirror to see that, having my hair all up in a beanie so it looks like i chopped it all off finally, sitting like a man, acting like one, being called a guy when someone first met me once and that making me unbelievably happy, confuses me… because i still have moments were i act a little a girl-ish… but when ever someone says “she” when talking about me.. it seems kinda weird.. i guess..?
As far as third-person pronouns go, … At this point… I’m fine with anything.. “she.” “he.” “it.”
I mostly get female pronouns, and i don’t expect people to keep up with it or understand, because i don’t either… but one of my friends sometimes asks who i am and that’s really nice.
I’m attracted to… Every gender. nice, funny people that are accepting of who you are and don’t degrade you or others for being themselves.
When people talk about me, I want them to… i don’t really know.. male?… female?…
male…??? it??????? i have no clue
I want people to understand… that even if you don’t understand something don’t automatically think its something that’s wrong and should be torn down to nothing. I know that it might be confusing but just bear with them and let them explain it in there point of view and how they see themselves.
About Eli… that is the name i feel comfortable with for me

You can call me… Hannah, I guess. Idc. Whatever you want.
I identify as… Genderfluid, but mostly just Agender.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I’ve gone by she/her all my life, so that’s fine I suppose. It won’t always be correct, but whatever floats your boat.

About Hannah, I guess. Idc. Whatever you want.
I’m 17 now. Mum was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 8. She’s pretty much lived in the hospital since then, but she has her own place. I was bullied all my life, but it didn’t really get to me since I always had my head in a book. On the outside I’m a really boring person, but that’s cuz I like my own company much more than I’ll ever like the company of others. Who’s had three existential crises in as many years? Me!! Woo. Um, I’m pretty good at singing, I guess. I play piano and violin. Uh… That’s it.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … she/her (but I feel like I would be fine with gender-neutral pronouns too)
I’m attracted to… I’m asexual (so don’t feel sexual attraction) but I am romantically and aesthetically attracted to more than one gender (bi). I’m not sure if I am attracted to people despite gender, so I don’t identify as pan.
When people talk about me, I want them to… speak as effortlessly as they do about someone more conventional, while respecting my identity.
I want people to understand… that most of us probably do not fit in the binary options we’re generally taught as the only options for gender, and that gender has been and continues to be used as a tool for oppression and marginalization.
About Kristen
I struggle with some mild anxiety, and have lingering issues as a result of childhood abuse and neglect at the hands of a narcissistic parent. I am struggling to explore my sexuality and gender identities, but feel fairly confident that I am asexual and biromantic. I’m not yet sure about my gender identity, but I think I might be a demiwoman.
I identify as… My body says it’s female, although most of the time I don’t really feel female or male or I just feel both at the same time.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … Mostly she/her/they/them, but I’m not offended if people use he/him.
I’m attracted to… Open-minded, unique human beings, mostly androgynous, as far as looks go.
When people talk about me, I want them to… Talk about my achievements or character traits, without reducing me to my gender or sexual orientation or saying that I’ve done something impressive, considering that “I’m a girl”.
I want people to understand… that gender roles are mostly concepts created by society and they can’t force everybody to appeal to them, the world is much too diverse for that.
I identify as… A man in a woman’s house who is asexual and demiromantic.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer They/Them
but not many people listen
I’m attracted to… people who use my correct name, people who don’t care that I don’t look like a traditional “male”, people who can love me back.
When people talk about me, I want them to… use my pronouns and remember that what they can hurt me.
I want people to understand… that I’m a man even if I can’t express it right now.
About Mikhail
I’m Mikhail born name is Marissa…
I live in a house that would hate me if I told them the truth about who I am, dysphoria is alive in my home.
I want to be accepted but I know it will take awhile.
I identify as… asexual, agender, possibly demiromantic who’s still hiding out in their closet.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … she/her in public especially if my family is with me. I tried they/them pronouns among friends but it never really stuck that well.
I’m attracted to… well….I guess aesthetically men, women, non binary people, transpeople you name it. I like intelligence as in wanting to have deep, intense conversations about everything with people. I also have a strong “cuddle drive” directed at primarily men.
When people talk about me, I want them to…
I want people to understand… that this isn’t a stage or some kind of late bloomer thing happening with me. I’m also sick of coming off to people as a rather prudish straight cisgender girl who’s too afraid to get involved with anyone. There’s nothing wrong with me, ok? I most certainly do not require admittance to a psychiatric hospital.
You can call me… Akaiya, or Tia if you’re not as familiar with me.
I identify as… More female than male, but I feel like that’s been slipping away. The only reason I ever thought I was female was because a) a vagina and b) what everyone told me I was. Now I’ve become a bit more of my own person and I don’t feel as though I am male or female. Make of that what you will, but I have no label for it currently.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I really like “they/them”, though I tend not to correct people when they use “she/her” since I look more feminine than masculine.
I’m attracted to… Well, it fluctuates… a lot. And, to be honest, I’m not afraid of that. I’m attracted to a lot of characteristics, and therefore a lot of people. :)
When people talk about me, I want them to… Not to mock me for my religion (Christianity), my sexuality (pan), and of course, my gender. I am more than just these things. And not don’t say “somethink”, because that really gets on my nerves.
I want people to understand… That though labels are not that important to me, my gender and sexuality still make up a large chunk of my life.
About Akaiya, or Tia if you’re not as familiar with me.
Hi there! I’m @sseptum on Instagram, I’m a Christian, 14 year old Australian and a complete try-hard perfectionist. I’ve known I wasn’t straight since I was about 11 and began to question my gender last year. If you have any questions of any kind, don’t be afraid to message me here or on Instagram!! <3
As far as third-person pronouns go, … he him his and they them their
I’m attracted to… girls, boys, in the middle, and outside. NOT PANSEXUAL! Romantically attracted to: girls, non-binary,and trans guys
When people talk about me, I want them to… I want them to respect my point of view on how I perceive my gender and use the pronouns I have chosen. And please realize opinions can affect me not always in a negative way.
I want people to understand… That I don’t fit the gender norms and I am scared and awkward about. I have found out the terms that feel right when referring to me but I still can be confused or nervous if other people judge me for it or I am in a situation were I have to defend my identity. I hope we can all be kind to others and understand more about people so we avoid any unwarranted conflicts.
