    Gender is really complicated for me... To put it simply, I'm not 100% happy with identifying as male. I'm fine with being called "him", and I'm happy that I've got "boy parts"... I just feel kinda in between on the inside. I'm not outward about it, cuz to be honest, it doesn't matter, but it's something I think about pretty often.

    I don't identify with either gender but I'd rather not look and feel like a tumblrite by discussing pronouns; I just want to be kawaii.

    I'm female and I identify as female too. I think I'm for the most part pretty typical of a girl especially in person, and I really don't understand a lot of "guy" things either. I mean I've heard many guys say that girls are complicated but I think guys are the complicated ones. :v

    I'm a cis woman and go by feminine pronouns. Not sure why people are mentioning their sexuality or crapping on the idea that gender is kinda complex.

    I'm a cis male and prefer he/him pronouns. I have some feminine features and internally feel more feminine than I do masculine, but if I'm going along with the binary then I suppose I identify as a male - like, I've presented myself as male and have been addressed as a male for all my life, so its kinda what I'm used to, ya know? I think, perhaps, in a different world if I were to have been addressed and presented myself as female I wouldn't have noticed much of a difference or felt "male". I've thought about my gender a lot before, but I guess, in the end, I'm a male.

    I'm intergender.

    That means I'm a mix of male and female, and some other stuff, but I'm not quite male, nor am I female, I prefer to call it "mixed gender" but the official term for this is intergender. Note, this is different from intersex. I am both masculine, feminine, but agender is mixed in there, too, but I'm not one or the other, nor am I genderfluid, my gender does not fluctuate.

    My pronouns are they/them/their. Do not call me she, I am not a girl. Just because my gender setting is set to female, doesn't mean I identify as it. Don't call me a he, either, unless I say otherwise. And if you're using gendered language, Neutral gender terms, so instead of princess or prince, royalty, etc.

    I've never really been male or female. And, I want to change my body to be more genderless. Ask about it in a private message if you want to know more.

    Gender can be such a weird, confusing topic sometimes.

    I'm Female, and I prefer she/her pronouns. I identified as male for a long time, mainly because of pressure from my family and generally people I know, but I never really felt like I was male, and I was always uncomfortable because of it. But I'm not gonna go on about that stuff, considering that most of you probably don't care. x:

    I see the person above me is probably transgender. Good luck, it's a rocky road.

    Anyway, onto me now...I'm a tentacle demon.


    No but, I prefer to go as just something. I really don't see the point of displaying a gender on the internet, and I personally get a kick out of being called some genderless or inanimate object or being. I simply see a tagged gender as unwanted attention (I've gotten needless PMs based on whatever I was...). Therefore, I'm a broom.

    Did I ramble again? Just know that gender isn't a big thing on the internet for me.

    i don't bloody know anymore
    sometimes i feel like i'm a boy and sometimes i feel like i'm a girl
    i don't call myself genderfluid because of the stigma around it and the hate i would receive
    i present as mostly feminine irl for fear of being made fun of and mostly masculine on here because it feels ... better
    i don't care about pronouns that much? she/he/they are all fine? i think?
    it isn't your business what i am "physically" so i'm not stating it eheh

    I don't really buy into the whole gender cultural phenomenon that is around today. Gender is determined by characteristics of masculine and feminine attitudes, which is labeled by the culture we live in. So all in all, it's determined by society, which is basically a mass of individuals ideals on how someone should behave and think, is it not? It's not something I view as concrete as sex where-as if you have XX you are a woman, and if you have XY you are a man.

    Just because someone is more masculine and feminine, I don't understand why that has to make them one gender or another. People are complex individuals with a wide variety of traditionally masculine or feminine traits and characteristics. Not a single man or woman alive can say that they are entirely masculine or feminine, as defined by the characteristics society has.

    Because of that, I don't really think gender is a thing and I don't understand why it has to be a thing. Why can't men and women just be men and women, in terms of sex?

    i was born a female
    there was a time i identified with masculine traits and wanted a masculine body
    there was a time i experienced a significant amount of gender dysphoria
    there was a time i bounced back so hard the other way that i became more feminine than i ever had been
    there was a time i identified as truly genderfluid
    i currently identify as female

    there is always the possibility of fluctuation and change as one discovers more of themselves and society

    To sum it up, I'm a heterosexual, aromantic transgender girl. At least that's how I feel at the moment.
    in no way am I illegitimizing (this isn't a word but Yolo) what you've said here but I've gotta ask -- how can one be aromantic and anything else other than asexual? you don't have to answer this of course but like how can you feel that way? romance is kind of an important part of sex no matter who it's with, isn't it? or am I misinterpreting this entirely?

    You can be. I'm basically aromantic heterosexual myself; I have a sex drive but no desire to enter a romantic relationship. While romance and sex often go together (people generally want to have sex with people they have feelings for), you don't necessarily have to have one to have the other. **** buddies and hookers are things.

    That's probably a poor explanation, but when we have all these different nuanced gender and sexuality identities, I don't think that aromantic hetero/homo/bi/sexual is unfeasible.

    I am bigender: there's a male and female side to me, with no in-between. I've been identifying as a female for a while now, so female pronouns are preferred. That may change, but for now that's how it is (my gender changes when it wants to).
