Profile: Brother from another mother

Brother from another mother

You can call me… Brother from another mother / Sister from another mister / Oi.

I identify as… a dog lover.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … When I was younger I would always feel awful whenever I was referred to as “sir” because I am biologically female and I wondered why nobody could see that. Now I understand that people judge others based on their outward appearance and clothes, and so I take whatever pronouns people throw at me because it really doesn’t matter – they only see what they think they see.

I’m attracted to… the idea that there should be non-gender-specific bathrooms. As if anyone has specific bathrooms in their households for men and women. Oh, and dimples.

When people talk about me, I want them to… abide by that withstanding motherly advice which dictates that if one has nothing nice to say, then one should say nothing at all.

I want people to understand… that all this mulling and fretting over the diversity of human bodies is pointless, aggravating and farcical. It will be much better to stop worrying, share around a bottle of schnapps and dance.

    I think it's fabulous that you identify as "a dog lover."

    Thank you :) I think that if anyone is going to categorise me as something, they might as well categorise me as a dog lover, because that is more pertinent to my character than my gender.
