[fancypost borderwidth=0;font-size:8pt; text-align:justify; line-height: 140%; width:450px;]1. How do you self-identify your gender, and what does that definition mean to you?
agender trans masculine - rather confusing for most but it is something that reflects my overall need to be primarily neutral and yet the want to change, to finally feel happy and safe within my body
2. What pronouns honor you?
they/them though those i am close to or speak to regularly are permitted he/him
3. Describe the style of clothing that you most often wear.
anything, much of it is still feminine but mostly shorts and baggy t-shirts no matter the weather, otherwise comfortably worn pj pants
4. Talk about your choices with body hair. How do you style your hair? Do you have facial hair? What do you choose to shave, or choose not to shave?
i don't shave at all if i can help me and no facial hair though i hope to grow a beard when i finally get on t, my hair is extremely long, nearly down to my butt right now, and in dire need of a cut to hopefully be close cropped
5. Talk about cosmetics. Do you choose to wear makeup? Do you paint your nails? What types of soaps and perfumes do you use if any?
don't use any makeup since i have no experience with putting it on and it makes me feel strange to have it on, though i don't mind it, and gimme the fruitiest smelling soaps you can, i love fresh scents that i can smell a few hours after i shower since i find it relaxing
6. Have you experienced being misgendered? If so, how often?
everyday of my life, i have not come out to any within my family and so am stuck with trying to push through until i have a safe space of my own before i open up
7. Do you experience dysphoria? How does that affect you?
on occasion and extremely bad, it gets to the point i have a panic attack or breakdown and tear at myself with my nails, it is not pleasant but it tends to be so rare that it is not a big worry right now. mostly it is my chest that i have come to hate, i am too big to use a binder safely and my only option would be surgery which is a few years away, if something i can ever achieve, and it kills something inside me to need to turn away from a mirror or worry i might break down into tears just because i am who i am still
8. Talk about children. Are you interested in having children? Would you want to carry a child if that were an option for you? Do you want to be the primary caretaker for any children you may have?
maybe one day i might adopt a child but i don't want to carry one, i have enough problems being female that such feels horrible to me, though i do adore children my lifestyle and overlying anger problems makes it hard for me to be around others without snapping or wanting to hurt them, i would not end up being a good father to any child
9. Talk about money. Is it important to you to provide for a family financially if you choose to have one? Is it important to you that you earn more than any partner you may have? Do you prefer to pay for things like dates? Are you uncomfortable when others pay for you or offer to pay for you?
i don't really see myself being present within a family, if anything mine will be cut off soon if it ends up becoming toxic, but being polyamory and the thought of being within such a tight-knit, loving little group is wonderful and i would love to be able to provide if such happened one day. i am not that comfortable when others pay for me unless i know them extremely well but i will do what i can to pay for others and make sure they have everything they might need when possible, and i turn down most offers as i like to have my independence
10. Anything else you want to share about your experience with gender?
i am an adult yet feel like a lost, lonely child when things like this come up, someone calls me my birth name i want to attack them and tear them apart or cry because that is not me, that is a person who was tormented and abused, who still is to this day, i am not her, i am cy, i am a man and i am proud of it even if i can't show it. i just want to be able to say who i am without fear, without worry i will be ridiculed and to be loved as who i am without worry, to not have others look on me with spite of hate because i am a larger person and look overly feminine and soft because of it, i just want it all to stop and have some time where i feel like an actual person rather than a husk hiding away everything beneath fake emotion just to make everyone else happy
