a quick thread that in no way targets any specific people. i just wish to educate :)

last week i tweeted that people who misgender me would be blocked, which was really @ strangers who didnt bother to read my pronouns in my bio

before that i let friends calling me girl/she/her slide because i did still have she/her pronouns in my bio. they have been removed.

since then a few friends have referred to me as “girl” and it is done out of innocence so i let it slide. this is just notice that i don’t really want to be referred to by feminine pet names any longer unless i do so myself ie gf, bitch, etc

i am genderfluid, meaning i switch between gender identities often including femme but also masc and androgynous, so referring to me by things that are strictly feminine is inappropriate. just because i may be presenting as femme at the time does not mean i’m okay with femme term

i am also non-binary, meaning i present my gender outside of the binary of femme/masc, either by combining or ignoring the binary altogether. so knowing that, pronouns and terms that are strictly femme or masc don’t always suit me.

being gender fluid and non-binary has been very confusing for me. it has taken me years to realize what i am and i am still learning about my own gender dysphoria. it would help greatly if close friends affirmed these changes by respecting my pronouns/terms

and you can always ask me!! some friends have already asked what’s okay with me and that means so much to me!! it really shows effort and kindness!

i love my friends very dearly and i always appreciate it when they go out of their way to make me feel respected and affirmed. thank you for taking time to read this thread, it means so much to me :)
