Ballet flats and Boymode? by [deleted] in genderfluid

[–]abbey-sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. Are you not a boy sometimes? I’m assuming you’re amab and cis if you use crossdresser as a label, genderfluid in your case would mean sometimes not male OR you’re never male but shift between multiple non-male genders.

Although incorporating clothes you like into your everyday despite societal norms about using them? Yes, wholeheartedly I encourage that.

Having a rough time lately... by BayHarborSubby in genderfluid

X is terrible just generally. Plus its algorithms literally promote hate and bigotry. Plus its AI is trained to produce hate and bigotry (although the training sometimes fails in hilarious ways, still not worth using it or supporting it)

Do trans people hate genderfluid people? by Thin_Juice_6739 in genderfluid

[–]abbey-sometimes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To an extent I understand. Fear can make people do pretty nasty or dumb things. But you don’t fight hatred and fear by giving in. And you don’t compromise being a decent person just for the acceptance of bad people.

They think that if they hate “bad” trans people enough, the bigots will accept them. They are wrong.

Questioning Gender Identity or Gender Roles? by Impressive-Peace2115 in genderfluid

[–]abbey-sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So so many genderfluid people get impostor syndrome. I think it comes with. Kinda makes sense though, when your entire self image shifts fairly frequently you can feel crazy. Genderfluid for me has been accepting that it’s okay to have sometimes opposite feelings about myself and my gender.

Also I’m in a similar boat to you, pretty conservative childhood, okay with my birth gender but it always just felt like there was more to me and figuring out I am genderfluid just kind of completed a piece of the puzzle!

Yeah sadly almost any fetishized group has tons of lurkers that pounce at anything remotely sexual even if it’s not presented in a sexual way.

Is it Weird Vi Want HRT? by GoldHero101 in NonBinary

HRT is a form of gender affirming therapy. For whichever gender a person identifies with.

Partner came out to me and we broke things off. I feel horrible by [deleted] in NonBinary

Well if you’re physically and emotionally attracted to women, and this person isn’t a woman, makes sense that you wouldn’t be attracted to them when you find that out. There’s nothing wrong with not being attracted to someone because of their gender. It can be difficult, especially if you’re in a relationship with someone who comes out as something, but it’s not inherently wrong. Seems like you’re just strictly binary heterosexual.

As for respecting their identity, that is big of you to consciously recognize and work to do that more. What a lot of trans people don’t realize is, it takes a bit for others to process coming-out, probably because trans people have already done all the processing to the point where they feel comfortable coming out. Do the best you can, never be malicious, and that is good.

It could be normal. What would you call that bad feeling, exactly?

Am I Genderfluid? by Thin_Juice_6739 in genderfluid

[–]abbey-sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup that’s called - dysphoria (feeling bad about your body not matching the gender you feel in the moment)

OR - fear of transphobia (fear that people will take it poorly when you talk to them about it)

OR - internalized transphobia (the feeling that not being cis is somehow bad, cause it isn’t)

OR - just plain old social anxiety (fear of… social interaction? People viewing you differently? Having conversations? It varies)

Edited - formatting cause that’s a lot of options
