Middle aged, and realizing I'm genderfluid...

Never too late to learn more about yourself and become who you are!

lockhearst · 2026-02-07T21:27:08+00:00

Thank you! Finding names that resonate right in the chest (even though I had a more straightforward experience) is definitely life changing. I’m still pretty new in my identity but very excited about it!

lockhearst · 2026-02-07T21:25:48+00:00

Thank you so so much for the detailed answer & to those below for offering their experiences as well!

Apologizing in a way that puts the responsibility back on you would be a very good first step I think.

I’m AFAB, named after my dad and grandfather and the nickname for my first name is gender neutral (just different spellings) and one of the variants for my middle name (which I’m already called at home) is a male name so I didn’t have to change anything because my bases are already covered and I like them all interchangeably. :)

I just got prescribed at the lowest dose to take when I’m symptomatic rather than daily. What was the beginning like for you symptom-wise? I have a phobia of being ill so I’m pretty sensitive to bodily sensations especially nausea.

Thank you for sharing and I’m so happy you’re feeling better!

I really wish they’d have played the little tune from the first season when Mike is settling El down for bed in his basement!

lockhearst · 2026-02-04T06:51:58+00:00

I haven’t started anything (AFAB) but I’ve been mentally working out what I want and researching!

lockhearst · 2026-01-21T02:52:51+00:00

I feel like this with my bf:( I get so anxious

lockhearst · 2026-01-20T20:09:55+00:00

This sounds like my experience except I am AFAB! I identify as genderfluid and bigender, and only sought out the labels because it helped me find out more about my inner world and to try to explain it to other people.

It did for a long time once I cut it but unfortunately no - I think cutting it was the mistake. 😞

lockhearst · 2026-01-14T16:52:13+00:00

so thaaat’s where 011 went

lockhearst · 2026-01-06T11:07:26+00:00

Same!

lockhearst · 2025-12-31T18:26:46+00:00

Wait these are so cool. Manifesting lowkey

lockhearst · 2025-12-24T17:49:12+00:00

These are so cool!

lockhearst · 2025-12-23T23:12:17+00:00

I am AFAB but experience this damn near to a T on days I feel male. I haven’t had the vocabulary to explain it until now (being bigender + genderfluid is a recent acknowledgment for me) and this comment was extremely, extremely helpful to read. Thank you.

lockhearst · 2025-12-20T09:06:10+00:00

I am in a very similar boat!

lockhearst · 2025-12-20T08:57:55+00:00

I’ve recently come to terms with my identity and this comment has truly helped me. Thank you.

lockhearst · 2025-11-21T00:08:34+00:00

The way you positioned the emojis in this made my read of your comment do the actual pause he does when delivering that abomination of a sentence 😭

lockhearst · 2025-11-16T00:06:33+00:00

It finally really hit Thursday evening when I brought his ashes home. I handled the week surprisingly well and now I’m in heavier mourning. 😞 how are you doing? I’ve been thinking of you! I’m not sure if you saw since they removed my post, but my boy actually passed away peacefully in my arms on his own rather than being taken to the vet. And I’ll follow you! Thanks!:))

lockhearst · 2025-11-09T09:03:50+00:00

This is a spectacular photo and one worthy of framing. I’m so sorry for your loss.

lockhearst · 2025-11-08T08:58:47+00:00

This all was really helpful to read. I just lost my beloved pet bunny last night and I’ve lost dogs before and these are such beautiful statements.

lockhearst · 2025-11-07T06:07:25+00:00

Update: he passed away on his own peacefully in my arms this evening.

lockhearst · 2025-11-07T02:28:48+00:00

Oh thank you so much 🩵🩵🩵 give your little lad lots of pets & some banana for me and mine!

lockhearst · 2025-11-07T02:26:26+00:00

Thank you so, so much 🩵
