sorry this isn't a traditional ask, but I discovered maverique through your blog and I guess I kinda wanted to share my experience with it? or more specifically how I feel about the "strong inner sense of gender" part of the maverique definition
also this is long sorry 🙃
I have been exploring gender labels for a couple of months now, and although I'm fairly certain I'm multigender, I've tried on soooo many different labels in an attempt to cover all the facets of what makes me, me. In short, I switch between labels a lot.
With maverique though......there is just something truly special about it. When I first came across the term, it was like an instant lightbulb moment. It was like I didn't even have to question for a moment that was one of my genders, something inside me was instantly like "yes, yes, that's the one!" A gender that was truly my own, defined by me being my truest self, beyond any traditional descriptions. It really is a beautiful gender ☺️
The thing I find most special about it, though, is that "strong inner sense." Like I said before, I switch around my labels a lot. But I noticed that whenever I switched out maverique (usually because of the usual "what if I'm faking it" thoughts), there was this nagging feeling that I had left something important out of the equation that is my gender experience.
The way I describe it to others now is "my maverique gender is like that one 'it insists upon itself' Family Guy meme but in a totally positive way" lol
Realizing this was especially important to me as I am also nebulafade. If I'm not actively thinking about my gender, it's kinda just not there. But paradoxically, it still always is? Idk that made more sense in my head lol. I guess a better way to but it is that even when my neurodivergence affects when I notice my gender, when I eventually do, I realize maverique has always been there the whole time.
anyway, thank you so much for your blog. it's endlessly educational and I would've missed out on one of my favorite parts of myself if I hadn't discovered it. so I figured some repayment in the form of a firsthand experience would be nice 😁
This was really nice to read, thank you!!
I really love the maverique identity. I love everything about it. I love seeing people talk about it. It feels almost like a cousin to my own experience at times. I guess that's why I realized I'm transmaverine, because maverique was such an appealing label to me but I knew it wasn't me. It just has good vibes.
I'm really happy you shared all this with me. It's awesome to see other people's experiences.
