shooting beer cans with a gun would heal me

love a gender thesis as much as the next trans scholarTM but sometimes you get through a Post and realize the person writing it has soooo much genuine disdain for femininity it's like ohhhh my god. oh god. ohhh my guhd you have Got To Unpack That before i can take you seriously.

for my bilingual, trilingual or polyglot trans/non binary homies, is it just me or is it common to feel comfortable with a certain set of pronouns in your non-native language but not in your native language? /gen

im a girl but im not a woman but im a dude but im NOT a ‘lady’ but im a guy but im a babe but im a bro but im not a man but im not a boy but im a king but im not a queen but im a mx but im a sir but im not a ma’am but im not a miss. you feel me

you gotta be kidding me

I need to start packing just for fun tbh. I think it would make me one hundred times awesomer and sexier and cooler and better

I wish I could exist outside of what other people think of me and what I mean. I wish I could go out wearing whatever I want and ignore the stares and comments I'd get because I'm not what im supposed to be. I wish I could still wear skirts and cute shoes and have long hair and makeup if I wanted to and I wish that didn't mean anything to anyone.

I wish I didn't mean anything to anyone in that I wish that my identity wasn't held against me and I wish that I wasn't forced to act in accordance to my past. I wish I wasn't forced to have an identity and I wish I could just be myself and express that rather than having to conform to an identity that defines and constrains me when the only thing I've ever been is myself. I am tired of having to perform and I would like to just be able to be me without that meaning anything.

My gender is not the most interesting thing about me and I wish it was imperceivable so that only I have access to it. I wish no one could see me or interpret my existence and assume that it says anything about me... im just here and that doesnt have to mean anything. I would like to just live peacefully and without having to subscribe to indicators and definitions created people other than me who don't know my experience so that other people may understand me better and digest me easier. but my words can only describe so much and I dont know what I mean to myself and I wish that sense of "me" wasn't so confining

The problem is,

there are two wolves inside you; one goes to renfaires and needs hair to braid, the other is a shadowrun character and wants you to get the undercut again already

Anyway, new genders just dropped, fantasy and cyberpunk

What I've been thinking about today.

Huh.  I just reblogged the Trans Hannigram project thing again, and again I was like “I probably have nothing to add to this,” but suddenly I’m thinking about Hannibal and being nonbinary, and huh. 

I mean, I’ve already had most of these thoughts.  @queerhannibal ‘s already talked about the concept a nontrivial amount, and that’s influenced my attention on the subject.  But blatantly projecting my own genderstuff onto Hannibal, specifically, has never really needed to happen before.  I’m not sure it needs to happen now.  But it might.  I think it might want to.  We’ll see.
