Guys, I just had my third gender identity crisis 😭😭😭 I hate having them so bad!!! The first time I had one i was questioning my femininity and identified as demigender and started using she/they

After a while I started to feel more masculine and had lots of thoughts about being trans (and embarrassingly I had a “persona” of what I think I would be like if I was trans 😳🫡)

I used to stay up crying at night because these thoughts would burden me and I just hated the person I was

I still hate my gender now. My case now is that I would want to be trans because I would much rather have a man’s body than a woman’s body.

What I mean by this is that I just hate being stuck inside a woman’s body. I just hate having to menstruate every month for one week until I’m in my 40s 😵‍💫 and also the thought of pregnancy terrifies me

See, I’m a huge emetophobic and I would hate to have to throw up. I have a panic attack every time my stomach hurts. And also I don’t want to painfully carry a baby around in my uterus for 9 months just to painfully push it out of my woman hole

I also really hate when I lay on my chest and then my boobs start hurting so I cant comfortably lay on my stomach

So I’d kill to have a man’s body

But in my heart and my soul I feel both male and female. So as of rn, I’m bigender and use he/she/they

Does this make any sense or am I just spitballing here??? 😭

Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia

HII HELLO!!!!! can i ask for the pronounz of all the parallel botz if thats ok? :3

Shortly after news broke Monday of a fatal shooting at a private Christian Nashville elementary school, police said the suspect was transgender. This detail, according to trans people in the state, has poured fuel on an already combustive environment that has led many of them to fear for their safety.

Police say Audrey Hale, who was killed by responding officers, fatally shot three 9-year-old students and three staffers at The Covenant School. Though police have said there is no known motive for the shooting, some conservatives have blamed the shooting on the suspect’s gender identity.

Within 10 minutes of police saying that the suspect was transgender, the hashtag #TransTerrorism trended on Twitter. Around the same time, Republican lawmakers — including Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. — insinuated in social media posts that the shooter’s gender identity played a role in the shooting. And by Tuesday morning, the cover of the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post read: “Transgender killer targets Christian school.”

“We are terrified for the LGBTQ community here,” Kim Spoon, a trans activist based in Knoxville, Tennessee, said. “More blood’s going to be shed, and it’s not going to be shed in a school.”

Denise Sadler, a drag performer who is transgender, said she had already hired four armed guards before Monday’s shooting to secure a drag show she is hosting at a gay bar in Nashville this weekend. Following the anti-trans rhetoric spawned by the shooting, Sadler said she is now planning to hire eight.

“You don’t know if [the shooter’s gender identity] is going to trigger a community of people who already hated us to come and try to shoot us to prove a point,” Sadler said. “At the end of the day, there’s a lot of hurt going on, there’s a lot of anger going on, there’s a lot of confusion going on.”

During a press conference Tuesday, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said a motive for the shooting was still unknown. The day prior, however, his response when asked if Hale’s identity was connected to the motive left the door open to speculation.

“There is some theory to that,” Drake said. “We’re investigating all the leads.”

It is also unclear how police knew that the suspect was transgender.

Trans men are assigned female at birth and identify as men, while trans women are assigned male at birth and identify as women. When asked Monday whether Hale was a trans man or trans woman, Drake said “woman,” though Hale’s LinkedIn account and interviews with those who knew Hale indicate otherwise.

Bill Campbell, the headmaster of The Covenant School from 2004 to 2008, said Hale attended the school as a child in 2005 and 2006 and identified as female during that time. As an adult, though, it appears Hale may not have identified as female. Hale’s LinkedIn page, which has since been removed, states that Hale used “he” and “him” pronouns. And a friend of Hale’s, Averianna Patton, who said Hale messaged her shortly before the shooting, said Hale signed the message “Aubrey (Aiden),” using Hale’s given name along with a traditionally male name.

Aislinn Bailey, the acting president of Tri-Cities Transgender, a trans-led support and advocacy group based in Johnson City, Tennessee, said her initial reaction to news that the suspect was transgender was fear.

“I knew that as soon as anyone mentioned that, it was immediately going to become the center focus instead of what should be the focus, and that’s gun violence in this country,” Bailey said.

She condemned the choice by police to release information about the suspect’s gender identity when they did not appear certain about it.

“I think it was unethical and highly suspect that information like that, which they had to have known could cause backlash on the trans community — releasing information like that without it being verified, that’s unconscionable as far as I’m concerned,” Bailey said.

She added, “We were already fearing for our lives. Now, it’s even worse.”

Over the last several years, historic numbers of bills targeting LGBTQ people have been introduced in state legislatures across the country, including in Tennessee’s. This year, state lawmakers filed more than 400 such bills — more than half of them targeting trans people specifically — according to the American Civil Liberties Union and a separate group of researchers who are tracking the flow of legislation.

So far this year, Tennessee lawmakers passed two bills targeting LGBTQ people: A first-of-its-kind law that will criminalize some drag performances takes effect Saturday, and another that will ban gender-affirming care for the state’s minors becomes effective July 1.

Nathan Higdon, the chief financial officer of Knoxville Pride Center, is helping organize protests against the new drag law in Nashville and Knoxville this upcoming weekend. Higdon said that while he and other organizers are “scared shitless” that the conservative backlash over the shooter’s suspected gender identity will prompt violence, they’re going forward with the events as planned.

“The people who hate us are always going to hate us,” Higdon said. “We can’t not do these things. We just can’t not show up.”

Threats and attacks of violence directed at the LGBTQ community have spiked recently, with drag performances becoming a particularly popular target.

Last year, there were at least 140 incidents of protests and threats directed at drag events, which have deep roots in the queer community, according to the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD.

Just last week, one man was arrested and another was left bloodied as dozens of people protested a Drag Story Hour event in New York City, and on Sunday, an Ohio church alleged on its Instagram account that it had been vandalized with Molotov cocktails after advertising that it would be hosting a Drag Story Hour event in April.

Jace Wilder, the education director for the Tennessee Equality Project, a Nashville-based LGBTQ advocacy group, said the suspect’s gender identity “does not change the horror of what they did no matter their reasoning.”

“It is unfair and inappropriate to ask trans people to speak on this person and the lives they took,” Wilder said in a message to NBC News. “We, just like all other Tennesseans, are mourning. There is no politics I could possibly care about right now when children are dead. End of story. I pray and will stand with the families of all the victims and for peace for our community and I hope we can all show up for them and each other in this time.”

gender identity. it's confusing. idk what mine is anymore. I used to say I was genderfluid but that doesn't feel right anymore. I'm afab and I don't mind being viewed as a girl but I don't like being called a girl. I'm ok with being called girlfriend. I like being called "she" and "they" and "it" but I don't know what label really describes me. demigirl doesn't feel right. neither does demigirlflux. in a way demiboy feels more fitting, but still highly inaccurate as I'm not a boy I'll never be viewed as a boy. I like being feminine. I like liking straight men. I like dressing up pretty and being seen as a girl but I just don't feel attached to "cis girl" I feel like I have no gender yet all of them at once. I'm confused.

Enboy Mesh: a Multigender label for those who feel their gender is a combination of nonbinaryness and maleness which feels so intertwined that it’s hard to tell where their manhood begins and their enbanhood ends

To me one of the best feelings in the world is if you're gender queer and decide to change your name, or just change your name in general, and people start giving you a nickname for that name and they call you by it.

Andromale

An identity for when an individual is both androgyne and male. This could be used to describe a person's gender, body or both.

There are many ways to identify with this term, such as:

feeling more male than female in your androgyne identity and wanting to reflect that

feeling like you are separately androgyne and male, either fluidly or simultaneously

feeling like you are androgyne mentally/physically but you wish to be perceived as male by others, for any reason

and many more...

There is NO wrong way to identify with this term.

I adjusted some coloring on a previous version of the androgyne flag, I take no credit for the flag itself. The only thing I've coined is the specific label.

Pride OC Asks

A tough one! I spent a long time looking for the right term(s) for her, actually (which was great for educating myself on other identities OOC!). She was quite sex-repulsed, and didn't/doesn't like to be touched (except by one specific person, and that's after a lot of effort on his part to make her feel safe). I kept hovering around the pseudo-ace spectrum... but her repulsion was out of trauma, not a genuine lack of desire? Though she remains kind of put off by the idea that so many people can and do just have sex with almost anyone - it's mind-boggling to her... people will be at their literal most vulnerable around a stranger just to... mate??

It's so hard to put any one specific term on it, though - she approached relationships through the lens she grew up with, in a tribe, so traditional marriage is confounding, and she sort of sees polyamory as the default (for herself, at least - though she is in a monogamous relationship at present bc her partner is not poly).

As for the types of people she can be attracted to? Gender isn't a big deal - she's just never met a female/non-male OC who could meet her high standards for what she seeks in a lover! But that leaves me holding a handful of terms like Sapiosexual, Demisexual, Bisexual, and potentially Grey Romantic. (The things that would be 'romantic' to her aren't often things others would find romantic, and traditional romantic gestures are... well, kind of gross and performative to her - based in societal expectations and not actual, genuine affection - like giving flowers/chocolates, etc). She's attracted to someone who can challenge her - but also someone who won't judge the broken person she is, so much as always help her to reach for higher heights, and constant self-betterment. Intelligence is important... but so is understanding her, and how her mind works - she's very different from normal people, and knows it - and what's the point of letting someone in, if they just judge and criticize who you are? She would almost prefer that her partner have achieved more than her, as well - maybe even be stronger/smarter, the better to challenge her - and not necessarily book smart, so much as clever in the ways of the world, in practical/useful ways. (Plus there's her god complex that says she will not be with someone not 'worthy' of her/beneath her... this could encompass a lot of things, lmao! But getting to be intimate with her is a gift! Not just anyone gets that.) Honestly pansexual may even be better than bi as a term? I inevitably use them interchangeably for myself, lol. Gender is irrelevant - if you're a simpleton and a fool (or an optimist /cough), she wants none of it.

As for her environment? There's no homophobia on Hydaelyn! Be queer as fuck!! Hooray!! Other than that, her polyamory has been the sticking point for the men who have been in her life - in the end I think they just hated the other guys she was with, and then one of them cheated on her and tried to claim he was suddenly poly (yuck), and in the end the last lover left was the fellow she would do anything not to lose, and was absolutely fine with him wanting her not to be in other relationships... all it took was a simple conversation to express that he didn't like it! Amazing what trouble you can save by talking to your partner about what bothers you, and talking through it before hurt happens!

I don't think she would ever feel ashamed of these facets of herself though - the ways in which she hates herself and feels monstrous at least have nothing to do with her sexuality/gender identity. But if you tried to talk gender identity with her, she'd mostly be confused about it all... just tell her your pronouns, so she can insult you properly... she doesn't need to understand why they're different: she detests all people equally!

No sorry, I can’t tell you my pronouns. I’m a firm believer in practicing show-don’t-tell in every aspect of my life, so I can only present my pronouns through metaphors, symbolism, and hella descriptive language.

That moment you realized you got circumcised because no one showed your uncut penis any love and saw it as repulsive and always pointed and asked questions "Why's it look that"?

And now your circumcised and you appreciate it more because trust and believe it was tough dealing with the rejection stares looks and points as well as there's no one there to show the new work and appreciate it. At least none of the olds who have not seen or heard the news.

That moment that you think you are better off as saving up to transition to the inner woman in you.

But that tingling Fading in and out moment of wondering by what it'd be like as a woman or what it would be like without the genitals of a man.

That moment that keeps coming in of what's my gender?

And the moment you realize that either way you ARE ATTRACTED TO GUYS.

I love masculine white twink boys who are vers.

That moment you realize without the male genitalia you won't be able to top a cute white boy's ass.

That moment you realize you have a cute spanoable twink bottom yourself and would love to be topped.

That moment you still don't know what your gender is after all these moments passing.

That moment you're giving up on trying to figure it out because the anxiety and depression from it is unbearably loathsome.

That moment you're secretly but high keyly hoping a cute white masculine vers twink boy messages you so we can start our polycule family with me as the focal point with more masculine vers twink white boys.

That moment you hope your application to become a porn model pays off and they accept you and your body for who you are so you can start your onlyfans and the rest of your life with showing the world that nudity is beauty.

Folks, is it trans to want to get a male cosplay just so you can have an excuse to get a chest binder to make the cosplay "accurate" because that was the only way you thought you could get your hands on a binder without getting questioned too much?
