I went ahead and made the other version because my brain continues to be an enigma when it comes to gender
Obligatory Pride post
Iβm genderfluid now. Thanks byeeeeee (art: @grosspotoo.bsky.social)
i found it again!! my favorite bi enby meme ever!!
At least those feelings are coming from me and not my desire to fit in, I suppose. That feels much better than doing it because I "have to"
All this introspection and being brave and confronting folks with masc presentation so that I can try actually growing my beard out...
And of COURSE I feel more like a girl today and kinda want to shave it off. God damn it, brain LOL
Every time I feel super strongly masc I'm like "yeah this is awesome, I'm probably a trans guy" and then I have days like today where I'm like "fuck yeah I'm a girl!!!!"
And then I remember being genderfluid is a thing and it's fine for me to fluctuate between the two without always being either
In the past week or so, I stopped trying to hide my masc traits (mostly my ability to grow a beard) from "normie" friends & family... And it went pretty well! Not being instantly shunned like I feared I would be for the last 20 years over something my body naturally does is... Incredibly liberating.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that I do in fact identify as intersex. Lifelong hormone imbalances, having more facial hair than some cis men despite being AFAB, and my body/face shape both being near perfectly androgynous to where an outfit change is all it takes to pass either way... I'm intersex AF π³οΈβπ
So now I've created space to experiment and understand which feelings are *mine* and which were being driven only by fear and learned shame. Huuuuuge step towards unlearning a lot of internalized bullshit!!!
My body may not quite fit neatly into the gender binary, but Iβm trying to teach myself that it doesnβt have to. The way I present should be decided by what feels best to me, not the expectations of others.
Happy Pride!! Shame is lame, be your most authentic self!!
