Cw: illness, death, etc.
Me: if I were diagnosed with a terminal disease today and told I only had a short period to live I'd socially and medically transition immediately. It would probabaly be my first thought to be honest.
Me: *buffering wheel*
Me: ........oh.

Genderfluid culture is being absolutely delighted when your friends ask you what your pronouns at the moment are!

people who spent a long time questioning their identity, what resources/books/etc. did you find comforting or validating during that period of your life?
or, if you're currently questioning your orientation or gender, what brings you comfort right now?

I don’t remember mentioning here that I was setting up a transition fundraiser, so it may come out of the blue, but here it is. I also want to thank everyone who already donated, I honestly didn’t expect such a quick reaction. 
P.S. You don’t need my permission to share this, if anything I’d be all too happy, sharing means a lot.

Gender Hypotheticals (Part 2)
6. Imagine there’s a test that can conclusively determine your gender.
What gender would you hope for?
Would you try and skew the answers?
Which way?
7. For the four parts of this hypothetical, imagine you’re stranded on a deserted island, by yourself, with no hope of rescue.
a. You find an abandoned town and enough supplies to live in comfort. What would you wear? Would you present masculinely? Femininely? Neither? A mix of the two? One way some of the time, another way the rest?
b. You later find a lifetime supply of hormones, with perfect instructions for use and dosage. Would you take them?
c. Later you stumble across the room containing the two buttons from question 3. Which button, if any, would you press?
d. You also stumble across the machine from question 5. Would you use it? If so, what would you change?
8. Imagine you take the perfectly accurate test from question 6, and the results are “Mild gender confusion. Not trans; do not transition.”
How would that make you feel?
9. Imagine you take the perfectly accurate test from question 6, and the results are “Trans; begin planning transition.”
How would that make you feel?

Anyway I think everyone should know that your gender and/or your understanding of it can change over and over again.
I first came out as nonbinary and then I came out as a trans man and then I was a nonbinary trans man and now I’m nonbinary again and that’s cool with me :)

Gender Hypotheticals (Part 1)
These are a few hypothetical questions to ask yourself if you happen to be questioning your gender identity.
1. Imagine you discover a magical button. Pressing it will change you into another sex, painlessly, with everyone else understanding and relating to you as the associated AGAB. The button will break after you press it.
Would you press it?
2. Rather than the above, imagine you discover a different magical button. This button erases any and all doubts you have about your gender - from now on, you will never doubt your assigned gender again. You will have no memory of finding this button or pressing it.
Would you press it?
3. Imagine you’re in a room with both buttons.
Which, if any, would you press?
4. Now imagine you see the buttons, but are instantly stopped by a guard, who says “You are obviously your birth-assigned gender; what are you trying to do?”
How would you feel?
5. Imagine you find a magic machine that lets you design your ideal body, and then changes your body to match this design. You can mix and match or omit and include anything from any body you like.
What features would that body have or deliberately lack?

One thing questioning my gender has taught me is that after you answer the question "what gender am I?" the questions "who am I?" and "where am I going?" Are insurmountably more difficult to answer.
