MODERATORS
 

Hey, we haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet, and I've really been itching to ask everyone this question so we can get updated numbers on our trans population here. This isn't going to be scientific or anything, but just a quick guess.

Please respond to this post with a 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'. If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

spoilerhi!

Remember to respond even if you are cis.

Maybe?I am what I am because it's the social default not because I identify with it. I don't care to change though so does that make me cis? Or some type of agender? idk

Maybe.

I've been mulling it over and I'm experimenting with peripherally fem stuff (longer, bigger hair, earrings, women's blouses/shirts, might fuck around with dresses this summer) but also I'm trying to increase my strength and muscle size and become a himbo and all of those things seem gender affirming and self affirming.

I'm aware that many of the above things aren't necessarily strongly gendered (women can build muscle, men can have long hair, etc etc). But it's been kinda freeing to make the jump to some women's cut garments.

No.

Maybe a little bit at times but not really. I feel fine about being a cis man but I also feel that if I had a magic button that would turn me into a woman for a couple of hours I would press it once in a while, just to get some of that experience as well.

I feel that some of it is due to all the things that sucks about patriarchal gender roles. A break from some of the bullshit that is part of masculinity could be nice. I know women have their own bullshit as well but at least it would be different bullshit.

yes

No, 100% satisfied with factory settings.

No

spoilerI guess I say no here. I present masc, and definitely lean that way, but I've come to realize that a lot more people are gender fluid than think they are, myself included. It's all kind of silly how we get drilled into our heads what we are supposed to be and how we're supposed to act, when we are all our own unique individuals.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

You wouldn't consider gender fluid to be gender diverse?

Maybe?

details

Assigned and socialized male, never had huge problems with it but I did get frustrated with all pressures to perform any kind of masculinity. By my early 20s, probably the majority of my physical and social characteristics are gender-ambiguous. To this day I like it that way, I see myself as "somewhere in-between", and I get euphoria when young children ask me the "are you a boy or a girl" question. The first time I voiced any preference for eh/em pronouns was like 7 years ago, but I don't make a big deal of it. I don't think I really understand gender in myself and most of my experience of it is an experience of exclusion. I do understand gender in others and am attracted to femmes and enbies. My queer friends all say I'm queer-coded, but I doubt that this fits, or maybe I'm a self-deprecating enby.

I just don't want anybody to be boxed into a category that they didn't want to be in.

No

ish?

Sometimes I want both parts like I have both "in me". I feel more happy when I don't have to put on the mask of being "man". I'm more happy being womanly. Fantazise, but I'm ok with being a male save balding, stupid facial hair that I have to manage constantly and circumcised. I think circumcision took something from me. I wish I could have sensitivity in my nipples.

I've always said to my family I'm "half woman" kind of as a quip to excuse my femine side, but I identify more male.

I don't know if that's eggish or fluid or what not, but it isn't like I have dysmorphia about insisting on being a woman. I didn't have those issues through puberty with my gender. AFIK I'm cis gay male.
