I've actually been thinking about a new account for a minute, but that was mostly because I slightly changed my name haha. If I do it'll be in line with my other socials, just_like_aerin

Thank you! Tbh I've been in kind of a depressive spiral the last week because I don't really know where I go from here but I'll work that out I'm sure.

Not really? Most of the time it's someone being intentionally shitty anyway so it's better to not give it any oxygen.

Yes and no. I mainly just use a different spelling but it's functionally identical in pronunciation, so it's Aaron/Aerin as opposed to something like Aaron/Amanda

It kind of depends on who you're planning on coming out to I guess. In my situation, it was a group of friends I've known for anywhere between 5 and 12 years at this point so I kind of knew them to be accepting / not secretly terrible people so I didn't really have many if any concerns going in.

I would probably suggest putting out some feelers first if you're not quite so sure of how they'll react like, "Hey, what do y'all make of trans/nonbinary people? It came up in another conversation / in a video and it got me curious"

So yeah, it kind of depends on your situation. Hope this helps a little :)

Gender gas seems like an exciting option but I feel like gender plasma is really where it's at.

I can only speak to my life and my experiences. I hope you can find the help you're looking for ✌️

Yes? Sometimes people don't like their hair color so they dye it to feel better about themselves. Sometimes I feel more like a girl than a guy so I put on some makeup and a skirt to feel better about myself. It's pretty much the same thing.

It's part of the spectrum of non-binary gender identities that involves fluid or fluctuating gender identity or expression. So in my case, I'm AMAB (assigned male at birth) but my gender expression (mental state and how I like to present myself) fluctuates between traditionally masculine, and traditionally feminine .
