@ other genderfluid ppl who have come out to cis family/friends, how did you explain it to them?

Hey, so I live in a very Christian household and my school is quite Christian. This is quite hard for me when I'm genderfluid because I can't have people refer to me as my preferred pronouns (they/them) and preferred name (River on neutral and masculine days) but I can't exactly tell anyone either. But being called she/her makes me feel very uncomfortable. Any advice on how to cope with this type of problem? - River <3

Hey River!

So this is tough, and I really don’t have a good answer. I think you just have to keep your head up high. Try not to take it to heart too much, they only say that because they don’t know. And just think about the future when you are going to be able to come out and live your best life and be yourself. 

Just validate yourself, for every person that uses the wrong pronouns tell yourself the right ones. And tell yourself that this is just temporary. One thing that used to help me was I used to draw the gender/sex symbols the ones with the circles and the lines/arrows on my hand and that would just make me feel better. 

Also there are a bunch of pronoun validation blogs out there so if you feel really down you can just go and ask them to do some validations which might make you feel better.

Also just being out online is fun and at least you can be yourself on tumblr right? So there’s that. 

Being misgendered sucks and so you just have to be there for yourself. Try and ignore the she’s and her’s and just do your best to live life, and keep dreaming about the future when everything will definitely be better. And know that you’re not alone and if you ever feel down there is a whole community of people here ready to support you. 

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

PSA

Genderfluidity is not a sexist concept

Literally people who identify as genderfluid present their gender however they want and if it adheres to gender stereotypes it adheres to gender stereotypes.

People are forgetting that sometimes it does not adhere to gender stereotypes and someone’s female feelings translates to wearing pants and someone’s male feeling translates to wearing skirts.

Long story short, let people be happy and present the way they want to

For real though, we need gender neutral bathrooms in schools and in public areas (like shops) cause it would be wired if I just walked into the guys bathroom plus the school won't allow it, so gender neutral bathrooms please

I'm 21, and biologically male. I was raised in a Catholic home so I've always been in denial of my feelings. But I live on my own now and I want to move towards a genderfluid lifestyle. I've never embraced my own femininity before. Where do I start?

Nicki Says:

The first step is accepting who you are. Look in the mirror, see how you can move between genders, and what that would look like to you.

Personally, I’ve never been a feminine person, but when I feel female, I wear more makeup and put more effort into my outfit for the day. That’s what femininity looks and feels like to me.

However, your femininity will be different, just as everyone’s is. Maybe first try a few stereotypically feminine things, such as painting your nails, doing basic makeup, and wearing clothes made for women.

I’m glad you can finally accept yourself, and I wish you luck! :)
