You can call me… Jaz

I identify as… genderfluid/transgender

As far as third-person pronouns go, … don’t use them; he/him, she/her

You can call me… Gryffin! Yes, like the mythical beast, I’m kind of a nerd. Fuji and the nickname Fuzzy are also cool!

I identify as… Nonbinary, somewhere around Demiboy. It’s confusing!

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I like the sound of He/Him and They/Them. You could also call me Sir, and son, but with other categories I like being more neutral; if I were ever in a romantic relationship, I’d want the other person to refer to me as their Datemate.

I’m attracted to… Friends! I like a good pal who I know well before it gets to that stage. Gender doesn’t matter, although their sexuality and level of comfort/discomfort with dating a person like me is highly considered, and I’d never force anything.

When people talk about me, I want them to… See me more for my current interests, like lizard catching and drawing, than for what I’ve done in the past.

I want people to understand… Misgendering someone, even as a brief word, can really ruin someone’s mood. Please stop saying “right this way, ladies!” when you don’t know whether someone in the group you’re referring to might not be a “lady.” It also bugs me when “he/she” comes up, because it’s easier to just say “they” and it covers so many more groups of people.

I also want people to understand that being my gender is not my choice. It’s not some edgy rebellious phase, and admittedly, I’ve googled “how to be cisgender” a lot in the past, and been really disappointed when every result was saying that you shouldn’t try and suppress. It took a friend abandoning me before I finally realized that I should try and accept myself. It’s still hard, especially being a christian with mostly all Christian friends, but despite still being mostly closeted I feel I’ve grown a bit as a person.

About Gryffin! Yes, like the mythical beast, I’m kind of a nerd. Fuji and the nickname Fuzzy are also cool!
I like the critters that few other people like. Cockroaches and lizards are my best pals! I also draw a lot! I’m insecure and mostly closeted, but striving to get better!

You can call me… Ian

I identify as… a heathen, a metalhead, and brainweird. Gender-wise, the most concise words I can put to is is non-binary femme man. My gender feels like waking up ten minutes before the alarm goes off and drifting in and out of peaceful relaxation before getting up and starting your day as well as the weird, heart-dropping feeling when you climb stairs in the dark and there’s one less step than you thought there was and your foot just… falls.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer xe/xem/xyr, but he/him/his is just fine too

I’m attracted to… kindness and curiosity. I tend to prefer people who are at least a little androgynous or willing to play with their presentation, but that might be because they feel safer than the alternative.

When people talk about me, I want them to… engage in good faith. It’s OK to make mistakes, it’s OK to not like me, and it’s OK to not understand who or what I am. What’s not OK is to assume that my gender is related to my mental health or infer that I’m making this up or doing it for attention.

I want people to understand… that just because you read me as a woman and I’m not interested in transitioning physically, it doesn’t make me any less of a man. You don’t have to understand me to accept me.

About Ian
A baby academic, I am currently unemployed and crying in Texas. I am scared of everything and, unfortunately, very little is scared of me. Very interested in promoting human rights, which shouldn’t be a polarizing thing, but, in this day and age, is.
I’ve got punk politics, goth sensibilities, and metal everything else. (kvlt is a subtype of femme and those who disagree can fight me).
All of my mistakes are developmentally appropriate.

I identify as… polysexual, and right now i identify as agender, but i’m actually not totally positive of that

As far as third-person pronouns go, … i use they/them

I’m attracted to… lots of different people, lots of different things. definitely only female genitals. i definitely like girls, and as for non-binary genders, it really just depends on the individual person. no guys though

When people talk about me, I want them to… get to know me for me, instead of focusing on and getting hung up on my gender and identity

I want people to understand… that my gender identity doesn’t change who i am as a person, and that i’m struggling, and while i do appreciate the effort if you try to make me feel better or cheer me up, it more than likely won’t work and will just frustrate me. and that, more than anything, i need you to just listen to what i say and what i need if i’m depressed, dissociating, having an anxiety attack, etc.

About Alex
i’m alex, and i’m a kid that’s depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria-ridden, way too personal, obsessed with hamilton, youtube, and all things music, an avid reader, fiction writer, and poet, a singer and drama nerd, and a full time procrastinator

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I don’t really have a preference. Choose whatever you perceive me as at the time.

I’m attracted to… Girls and more feminine features. I love huge nerds.

When people talk about me, I want them to… See me without my gender getting in the way. My gender doesn’t define me, I am more than that.

I want people to understand… That I’m still figuring myself out. I’m experimenting and trying to learn more about myself. I’m not doing this for attention, I just want to feel comfortable with myself.

About Nick, Nicky, Nicole
I’m 16 years old. When I was a young kid I would play Pokémon a lot. I would choose to be a boy half of the time because I liked how it felt to be perceived that way. Sometimes I feel more like a girl, sometimes I feel more like a boy, and sometimes I’d rather be neither. I’m so thankful for my lgbt+ friends who taught me it’s okay to be yourself.

You can call me… Ormi Fay

I identify as… A genderfluid pansexual

As far as third-person pronouns go, … She/her is fine. My gender expression has been mostly female, for the sake of keeping my job and not confusing the hell out of people. It doesn’t feel right about a third of the time. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to demand neutral pronouns.

I’m attracted to… Kind, thoughtful, beautiful souls. It doesn’t matter what parts they have on the outside.

When people talk about me, I want them to… Stop qualifying my achievements, behavior, or aspirations within their perceived gender limitations. Don’t tell me I am doing great for a “woman.” That’s offensive and wrong. I am doing alright for a human being.

I want people to understand… I can’t relate to the cis female experience, anymore than I can relate to the cis male experience. I’ve never been just one or the other. I am both and neither.

About Ormi Fay
A 31-year old who started their career in art and graphic design, only to gravitate years later to talent management. Because the most important part of any business is its people. Still loves art, music, tattoos and all manner of self-expression. Hopes to one day see a world free of gender bias.
