I am male assigned at birth and identify as genderqueer. I got some estrogen from a friend. I wonder if I just opened something I can’t undo. I wonder if I can transition to a more non-binary body. I wonder.

What’s your experience?

My coworker of 6 months still misgenders me in conversation, he says because none of the other trans* people he knows care about pronouns. Just me.

I don’t have a fight with my body, this frame of flesh I inhabit, its geography holds some hills and some valleys; maybe as a map it confuses people, but I’m not a representation of me, I’m me and it seems like all the words, for what I could be, just try to trim an effusive loving & expansive being into a pre-judge-able unit to be sorted like hardware.

Why does it feel like these labels are just a thousand ways of saying “not like me”?

I want the opposite effect when I introduce myself….

“we’re beautifully similar.”

I’m bigender, and recently I’ve figured out an excellent way to describe what one of my genders is and what kind of style is associated with it. Since it’s a gender that is not at all male or female, it feels great to be able to concretely define it. It has given me amazing confidence that this gender is in fact just as real as either binary gender.

However, this makes me want to define my other gender in a similar way. A gender which I’ve supposed is male for over a year now. Male is such a widely recognized gender that it doesn’t need to be defined as specifically, but… it would help give me more confidence that I have this gender, too. I wasn’t assigned male at birth, so I don’t have the privilege of being able to claim it without justification. And sometimes I fear that “I feel happier as male” or “looking in the mirror and seeing a non-binary man feels right” isn’t justification enough.

What makes a man a man? How do I know that what I’m simultaneously feeling is male and not some other gender?

If I presented less binary, I think the people at work wouldn’t take my transition seriously.

“A project by photographer Chloe Aftel aims to give greater visibility to the diversity of gender beyond “male” and “female.” For her series “Genderqueer,” Aftel photographed self-identified genderqueer individuals in their homes in an effort to explore a community that she says is too-often misunderstood.”

Someone asks…

I identify as Androgyne and Genderfluid and I bind at times and have recently started to consider packing. (I don’t want to be male as I feel very androgynous, if I’m pushed leaning a little more towards the female side).

Where can I get a really small packer from so that it wasn’t too noticeable that I was packing? I want to be VERY discreet about it and I only really want to use a packer so that I know I’m doing it if that makes any sense?

My brain’s responses to my gender non-conforming:

* Pfft, foundation and concealer are barely make-up anyway.

* Well… it’s not like anyone will see your underwear anyway. If you want to wear lacy thongs, that’s your business.

* Okay, fine, you can wear the bra underneath your shirt out in public. But I swear, if people see the straps, I will kill us in embarrassment!

* …Wow. I expected skirts to be comfy, but not this comfy. But you definitely can’t wear that out in public.

* You bought another skirt? But you already have two! Why would you need a third o–Oh. Ohhh. Wow. It feels like wearing a cloud around your waist.

* …Crap. You are really frikkin’ cute in that. Now you need to buy the perfect shirt to go with it.

“Tim O takes his inspiration from snacks. Specifically, the colour combinations on chip bags and soon, even beer cans! Tim has been posting these pictures and tutorials to Instagram and YouTube for 11 months, and was surprised to see them become popular.
“I just love by accepting yourself flaws and all,” Tim O told Bored Panda. “We’re all going to be judged by someone, might as well embrace the flaw we have and get comfortable with them so that when people judge we’re confident within ourselves to know words can’t hurt you. And that’s all live by embracing my fatness, baldness, all that!”

It has taken me 30 years to awaken to the notion that my vagina doesn’t make me any less of a man — and that being a man doesn’t make me any less of a feminist.

E. asks…

As an AFAB who wants to appear androgynous, I am considering taking testosterone one day. But some things about it just seem pretty risky to me…

Can I possibly get some views on it, or some personal experiences?

Thank you!
