hi so i'm trying to figure out my gender, right? and she/her fits really well for me. but i don't know how i feel about other feminine gendered terms, "girl" might be okay but all the others feel uncomfortable and kinda wrong. do you have advice on this weird specific situation?
My advice is to keep doing what you’re doing! It’s okay if you only like some gendered terms! Remember! Gender is ABSOLUTELY NOT binary!!! You don’t gotta have ALL of the feminine terms of you don’t feel comfortable with them! Just keep trying out whichever ones you want, and if you don’t like some, that’s completely fine. Fine! FINE!!! And if you do happen to find some you like, I think that’s WONDERFUL!!! That just means that you’re figuring more about yourself, just like I did!!! And whatever your preference may be, whether it be pronouns, how people address you, or how you’re presented, just know you’re valid. Valid! VALID!!! So, go girl!!! I support you, mew~!!!

I think it's important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they're a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. "You're a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that's ok" how about you are a boy and a man and it's still ok if you want to do something that doesn't align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him¹ in a skirt and makeup.
Edits:
¹ People in the notes are correct, He/Him does not exclusively mean male. However in my defence this was a personal rant. I did not expect it to break containment quite this much so this is litterally just first draft brain dribble. I stand by the principle that gender is personal expression and not a dictation. He/Him ladies and She/Her men can do what they want with their gender. And they can also rock traditionally feminine styled fashion if they want to.
TERF's however can fuck off. This is a pro-Trans space, and this post was inspired by watching people be so pro-trans they reinvent the gender binary, which is in large part due to over enthusiastic Cis people.
Why has this post been iced?
Cause it has been going since August 2023 and I'm fucking sick of being told I'm a transphobe for saying respect the pronouns people give you even when they're wearing fucking pink eyeshadow.

Punk is whatever the state fucking hates so I'm sorry to announce to the functionally conservative but contemporary punk isn't leather jackets and punk rock from the 2000s, it's hyperfemininity, it's transsexualism, it's kinky leather harnesses, it's polyamory, it's Black female rappers, it's reading books from the library, it's pirating media, it's sharing your Netflix and Prime and Spotify passwords, it's patching up your thrifted clothes with cute embroidery until they're in tatters, it's "borrowing" groceries from corporations that make up inflation that doesn't exist, it's supporting small weird freaky artists on Etsy instead of buying the newest Official™️ boring low effort promotional image enamel pins, it's drawing and writing the raunchiest most disgusting and freaky porn you could possibly fathom, it's showing off your tits or top surgery scars in public, it's cis women packing and cis men tucking, it's dykefags and fagdykes and boylesbians and girlgays, it's paying for OnlyFans of trans people fisting themselves, it's making up new genders and sexualities and romantic orientations and editing whole new flags for them, it's refusing to label yourself for the gratification of a government that wants to know under what misspelled drafty legislation they should legally kill you
Punk is being/supporting whatever the state currently fucking despises and wants to burn off the face of the earth, not whatever you think is Punk Aesthetic. If you wanna be punk just to look like you were born in the 80s instead of actually BEING PUNK by supporting the degenerates and the freaks and the sex workers and the BIPOC and the transsexuals and the faggots and the dykes, burn your fucking $800 corp bought leather jacket because you're not Hobie Brown you're just a fucking poser.
Punk is fighting the system beside the ones the system is fighting against, Punk isn't a Pinterest moodboard.

the “in a 1000 years people will look at your skeleton and know ur birth gender” argument is so stupid because
Why are they digging up a graveyard that’s illegal
They get it wrong like 20% of the time
theyre probably all trans too
queer people tend to like bones I’ve noticed this
why would I give a shit I’m dead
EDIT
some people have made very good points so here
6. Archeologists are smart and know that biogender does not always equal gender, and they can often tell based of clothing what you prefer
7. Many trans people are apparently becoming trees, which rocks
8. Many people are also being cremated, fuck yeah
