#gender fluid problems

[carpediemblog]

being genderfluid is so dumb sometimes because why my brain considers acne something masculine but the pimples in my nose something extremely feminine

like its all SKIN WHY DO I GENDER THEM

I wonder if, someday, my bf will be like "omg look at my boyfriend, he's so hot" when im on masc

I just tried to explain to him what "being on masc" means, and, although it was very very confusing for him (due to the fact that I'm scared I might suffer transphobia), he said he understood

I doubt it

might have to come back to this talk

I'll keep you guys updated

I went to a family function today, wearing a suit instead of the traditional female clothing cuz yes. And everyone was like "ayo wtf" and I asked them to refer to me with he/him pronouns the whole time. They were confused but agreed. Later, I was discussing about fucking period cramps with some of my cousin sisters and again everyone was like "you just asked for he/him pronouns, now you talking about your cramps."

....

And then, there were like 40 family members of mine, sitting together and arguing over... my gender....

*tired wheezing*

Genderfluid problems

When I tell people I’m gender fluid they usually ask what that is, which is fine, but when they turn on and say stuff like “your just confused” or “that’s not a real thing” i can’t help but feel so lost or hurt.

It’s really annoying being gender fluid (or trans in general) and not being out, because I’m sitting here feeling super dysphoric being like “I NEED SOMEONE TO REFER TO ME AS HE/HIM RIGHT NOW” but like...who’s gonna do that? Literally one person knows, so they can only use he/him when we’re alone, but whenever we’re alone they have no reason to refer to me in third person, SO I JUST SUFFER

Traveling as Non-binary, feeling different

Personally, I hate packing. As a gender fluid human, I don't know how I'm going to feel when I wake up much less 5 days from now. So, when I pack my clothes for a trip I try to keep it as neutral as possible but as fellow fluid humans know, that doesn't always work.

Today I woke up with my dial closer to the male side then the female side. So normally I would spritz some of my treasured cologne and wear a sports bra because friends, I have tits but that does not mean I'm always female. Don't make that mistake.

I would also speak a little lower, man spread and hang with the boys. I can't do that right now and although my dysphoria is not diagnosed, it's very present. Kinda like my chest is tight and my skin is crawling. It's not a fun feeling.

Tomorrow may cause me to feel different so I've had to pack my makeup and wedge sneakers to pair with my all black, flannel Butch look. Then the tightness won't be as bad if I know I'm wearing makeup and wedges. Hell, if my gender switches halfway through today I'll have to put on eyeliner or something just to help with the tightness.

If I had my way, I would pack some supper fem clothes and some male clothes but only 5 outfits for 5 days, not 10. By the time I would be finished, the suitcase would weigh half of what I do and look like I'm taking all the clothes I own which tbh isn't exactly a false statement.

Life doesn't always go my way though. So, to help with this wonderful difference that I have been gifted with, I listen to how I feel, pack as non-binary as possible no matter how I'm feeling at the moment and bring accessories to trick my mind. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Life goes on whether I'm ready for it or not.

So, gender fluid problem number one out of many, packing for any amount of time.
