Hi um I know this isn't about bisexuality but it is about my queer identity and I'm to scared to talk to anyone else about it. But um anyways am I like aloud/able to make my own label for my gender identity? I currently identify as genderqueer and agender I only recently realized that I can infact have 2 labels but i kinda wanna combine them into a separate but similar thing cause I identify with both so my thought was hey why can't I just say agenderqueer as one big combined word but like from one nervous queer teenager to the queer person i wish I had irl can I do that and make a cute little flag for it for myself. I know they aren't the same identity but on my head they are similar and I identify with both but I like don't know what to do. If you don't wanna answer this that's fine i just needed to say it to someone and your the queer mentor I guess I wish I had irl. Sorry it's so long btw i just want it to make sense
Hello hello! Thank you for reaching out! I love getting asks from you <3 I am glad that, while it is saddening that you feel scared about who to ask this to, that you feel safe to ask me 💜
I’m a cis woman so I’m not sure how much help I can be with your question, but to my knowledge genderqueer is synonymous with nonbinary? A big disclaimer here: I could be wrong but that’s what I know so far. And my bad if I am wrong, but that’s what I’ve learnt. And agender falls underneath the nonbinary umbrella! So you most definitely can identify as both! This combination complements one another and isn’t disrespectful to the meaning of either definition; I think identifying as both is beautiful and it sounds like it works for you! <3 I’m so glad to hear it makes you happy and comfortable!
Here is an agender + genderqueer flag I found!
And don’t overthink things! There is no need to be nervous! You a thousand percent have good intentions, so trust your gut, you don’t need permission for something harmless, if you ever were to find out something isn’t harmless (not talking about this! it is indeed harmless!) I know you would handle it accordingly, and I’m always here if you have more questions! Just keep being your lovely self!
Please don’t hesitate to ask me more questions, and I will answer to the best of my ability!
I’m honoured that you see me as the queer mentour you wish you knew irl :) that warms my heart! I wish you were the queer apprentice I knew in irl!
Thank you so much for the ask!
