Transgender Tropers, Aggregate!

>genderfluid isn't technically trans according to everyone I ask

We presume you're asking the wrong people, then. Trans is an inclusive label.

also bleh @ whistle's mom, that's some bs on her part

If transgender means not identifying (exclusively) with your AGAB, then most nonbinary people will count as trans by definition. Only intersex people who identify as non-binary would -or at least could- be considered cis.

Even that wouldn't be certain ("nonbinary" isn't just "neither of the above", and neither is "intersex")

Absolutely. That's why I added the could. Only if their gender identity always matches their body could they be counted as cis.

Just named my new computer "AJPC" after my initials. Let's hope my parents do not notice...

In other news:

Name: Athena Jen
Gender: Female (she/her)
Sexual Orientation: Ace lesbian

My engineering teacher called me my declared name, and I'm so excited!!!

Woo!

Nice!

I told my speech therapist that I didn't like to be called "Sir" back on Monday. He assumed it was some sort of thing to deal with authority, and I didn't feel like elaborating. He also proved that he knew basically nothing about trans issues, given that he mostly deals with younger children who may not know their gender yet. When talking about trans athletes in women's sports, he used "people born as men who want to become female."

The fact that he's inexperienced might just make me afraid to even come out to him, not to mention that he's literally friends with my parents.

So ~Bisected 8, are you excited for your GCS?

Well, it happened a little over two weeks ago, so past continuous might be the appropriate tense, but I am pretty happy about it!

Congrats!! So happy for you!!

You ever feel somehow simultaneously euphoric and dysphoric about a nether-regional pain?

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but does anyone else feel dysphoric/uncomfortable when being associated with things of their assigned gender? Like even "ftm stereotypes" or "ftx stereotypes" make me uncomfortable because of being associated with being afab. It's not even that I want to be a guy or not be a girl, I just really wish I was amab. It's like my brain just glitches when thinking about gender because it's waiting for me to be like "Ok you're amab but questioning your gender... wait you're afab? Uhhhh..." Like I feel like I should have childhood pictures of me as a boy but I don't and I never will. Anyone have a way to cope with this?

Do you think maybe you are transmasculine? It means that you don't exactly identify as male, but you still wish you were. I had often wished I was AFAB in my past but never thought anything of it.

Maybe. I did have a period of time where I identified as straight up FTM but then I woke up one day and suddenly really wanted to be a girl again. I have no idea if I want to do anything permanent, but even if I did, I can't until I'm older as my parents insist I am a girl. I can't even do temporary things because my parents say it will only confuse me more. Shit sucks.

What about genderfluid? Does that fit you?

Eh, I've considered it but I'm not really sure. The shifts to wanting to be female are rare. I can be a transmasculine-leaning genderfluid enby but I don't really know. Lots of nuances that make things more confusing, such as me liking looking at myself in the mirror, having a childhood of preferring to associate with fictional female characters, et.c.

You don't need to completely hate your body or feel crushingly dysphoric to be trans. You can just be happier that way.

Do any other binary trans people ever wonder if you'd still question your gender if you born as what you identify as now?

I feel like I likely would. And then I'd likely arrive at the answer that I was cis then, most likely.

I feel a lot like I'd have been way more of a tomboy than I am now if I was cis.

Got my hair cut very short. Feels nice. Feels right.
