Like my come out?

Umm here's the story a la gender: I was talking to my friendos at lunch and we were talking about making a dodgeball team for the dodgeball thing we're doing at school and I asked the vp where i should put my name if im a demigirl cuz turns out they're not cis they're queer and he said "Either in the middle or, for the joke, halfway on the girls line" And then in the process my friendos became aware of my demigirl-ness they knew i wasn't cis but now i had a name for it yeet

A la parents and my bisexuality which is actually biromantic grey-ace-ism but im not explaining that: Was listening to dodie. I said I was like her: bisexual. My folks found out. They were cool with it. Yeet.

Hi I have a gender-related problem, may I rant here real quick?

Who’s stopping you? Rant to your hearts content!

So recently I've decided to grow my hair out. I have a lot of reasons for that but that's not what I'm here to talk about
My dad thought that I'm growing it out because I want to be feminine. He went on this whole rant about how it's probably the smartest decision I've made because "women who have long hair and feminine bodies and dress well are more likable and get better jobs."
I identify as non binary, and that's never going to change. But I feel like he has a point. He told me I should take advantage of my appearance and use it to my advantage. My dysphoria hasn't been that bad lately, but it's not gone. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable abandoning my baggy hoodies, sweats, and sports bras. It's hard enough for me just growing my hair out after I've had it short for so long. I want to be smart and take advantage of what I have, but I'm not sure I'll ever be comfortable with myself if I do. I could always try, but what if it has a bad effect on my mental health? I'm not sure what to do…

I came out to my best friend last night as genderfluid so yeah that was fun.

She was really accepting of me when I came out to her as bi/pan but I still didn't know how well she'd react to my gender identity.

She's still super accepting and just was totally cool with it and just askgjslkhsjk

I cherish her so much.

Be whatever gender you want. Don't let your dad tell you what gender to be! I'm sorry about that. I'll be here for you no matter what.

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

For Jensen. Do what you think is right. I personally don't see any difference between females with long hair and feminine bodies, and more androgynous looking females. But I know others probably do, it's not for me to say anyway.

For Ace that's totally awesome my dude! I I'm glad to hear that that went well! She sounds like a real keeper, you should definitely cherish her as you're doing!

@SaltyLasagna

I'm not sure what's right anymore… I don't know what would be better for me. I'm terrified either way. I'm terrified of facing discrimination if I choose to keep looking non binary and dress more masculine, but I'm also terrified of how I might feel if I choose to look feminine. When I first got my hair cut and started wearing less feminine clothing, people looked at me differently. Some of my friends got upset with me. My father told me how disappointed he was. And although I don't really show it, it really hurt. I started getting scared of looking and acting masculine around certain people. But at the same time, just thinking about my hair being long and wearing things that don't conceal my curves scares me and makes me feel uncomfortable.

Huh. I'd suggest checking out some hairstyles and stuff that aren't quite short or long, and finding some clothes that are maybe a little less baggy/loose, maybe a size smaller or something, to be a middle ground of not super feminine or masculine? I'm not really sure…

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Jensen, I can't understand how you feel, but I don't understand one thing. And I know what gender you are is not all determined by what clothing you wear, how you wear your hair, or how you speak. What gender your is Define by you. I understand the bodily confusion. And I understand that it's not just something you can get rid of, or think away. So I'm just going to offer my support, I'll always be here to listen to you, and if I have to, to offer advice. Maybe I can help you design a more androgynous fashion style that blends in with everyone around you. If you'd like one of those come see me on PM.

@thehobbit
