Hi everyone! My name is Alex. I'm most certain that none of you know me but I stumbled upon this forum and I actually had a pretty legit question.

I think I'm gender-fluid. I've thought that for awhile now. One day, I'll want to dress more feminine then the next I want to dress more masculine. I'm born female and I use female pronouns. However, it doesn't bother me or anything if someone refers to me as male or uses male pronouns(since I have a male avatar, people refer to me as "sir" or "mister", and I never correct them. Sometimes I actually find myself liking it). I actually could care less if you used male or female pronouns to identify me. I just see "me" in the mirror, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I went through this thing where I believed I was trans*. But turns out, I don't think I am/was because a week later, I wanted to get dressed up in a dress and make myself all feminine like. But then another week later, I was back into my masculine state. =_= It's so confusing! I'm so confused.

So...my question is, do you think that I am gender-fluid? And what makes a person gender-fluid exactly?

Thank you for taking the time to read this! Much appreciated!

Honestly? No. Gender expression and gender identity are two different things. All of the things you're talking about are just ways you express yourself and don't really have anything to do with being trans. Don't worry too much about it.


Oh, no! I don't think I'm trans*. I thought/think I was/am gender-fluid! Because of how my femininity and masculinity seemed to be so close with each other. Like...let's say...tomorrow, I may feel as if I am more feminine and I dress more feminine then the next I want to dress more masculine and I feel more masculine.

I always get confused as to whether or not gender-fluid is a real thing or just an expression thing.


Erm. I'm not exactly sure. O:

Pretty sure it's just an expression thing, so don't sweat it.

I'm not sure I'll ever have a regular sleep schedule. I keep myself way too busy for that. I've never encountered anyone with any sort of depression or PTSD, but I understand that they can be sensitive subjects. All I can say is that I'm glad you've removed yourself from any stressful situation that made those conditions worse. Congratulations! I plan on moving to California, New York, Pennsylvania, or Canada (dunno which part yet) when I'm able to move away from the hellhole that is Kentucky.

You don't have to tell me twice that I need to lose weight. I've actually lost 30 pounds since starting a vegetarian diet. I'm proud of the weight I've already lost, but I know there's definitely more to lose. Although I would like to say that I don't think I'm big enough to reach a cut off for surgery. Regardless, I'm trying to focus on losing it all.

My mother used to always tell me that she wished she'd had a daughter. I actually have a cute little story related to that, but I'll tell it another time >.< My cousin got me into video games and such and I've always chosen the girl characters too. My father asked me once why I do and I told him "because they kick the most a**!" Now, he says it's because I'm gay.

So you moved to WA from Canada? Or was there a step in between? I love to talk, myself. I have to love it BECAUSE I'm so curious xD

I've never had much of a relationship, honestly. So I can't relate there. I honestly wonder what it must feel like to find out that someone you've been dating is different.. I mean, if I was dating someone and they came out to me as trans, I'd be shocked, but I'd be supportive... I think.

I guess that makes sense... But still, it's surprising to me. It's official. I adore you both xD You have a fangirl!

My mental illnesses keep my brain in a constant state of progressive thought, lending to some rather strange thought patterns. I actually moved from TN to WA, I was there for a total of 12 years of my life. Sort of not a happy place.

I'm vegetarian in morality, but vegan in diet. The reason for this is I'm allergic to milk and eggs. When you take milk and eggs out of a vegetarian diet you're effectively vegan. My body doesn't process meats well which is why I went vegetarian, then noticed my allegies to eggs and milk getting progressing more into danger levels over time. I was 160lbs when I started hormones, due to their effect on my metabolism and the strange cravings that follow I bounced up to 190. Which is sadly where I still am. Difficult to lose weight with my physical debilitations, and I'm lazy and a gamer. So there's that. Mostly the later.

CoCo and I are both avid gamers, I'm currently looking at a job game testing for nintendo. While she is an indie game developer.

I'm also a rather curious one, I also tend to not have a filter on my mouth. So if theres a topic that you would prefer lude things not said, its most likely best to avoid speaking to me in regards to such things.

That particular relationship was a disaster, I temporarily lost several friends due to it. Everyone told me to break up with her all the time. I was being used and I couldn't see it because I have developed a very bad sense of abuse, due to my childhood. I seeked out relationships that felt normal to me, to others they were viewed as purely one sided with me on the lesser half. I had been dating her for 3 years, I had just lost my grandmother(who was the only person I had come out to in my family and supported me, for all intents and purposes was my mother) and decided to come out to my then gf, because I had already proposed to her a month or two prior to that. To explain how much of a bad idea coming out to her was. On numerous occasions I had to purchase Plan B(the abortion pill), while I am sterile..though I did not learn that fact until I was 21. This particular girlfriend arrived at my grandmothers funeral drunk and high with a few of her stoner friends, not dressed for the event at all and asked that I leave to join her at a party. Regardless, I had lost my only support so I tried to regain it through her. When I came out to her, we cried, she told me she would always love me, we had sex, and then I woke up the next morning with a note that read (verbatum) "I'm sorry I love the d**k too much". The above is a worst case scenario when coming out to your SO, she was never really a keeper if you get my drift. Some people accept it, try to help you along and give you support then you slowly drift apart due to sexuality change in the trans person or what have you. Though I must state that your sexuality will not change persay, as much as become your true sexuality..as most of us hold in our actual sexaulity due to numerous reasons such as denial or societal pressures.

Awwh, why haven't you had a relationship if you don't mind my asking? You seem like a wonderful person.

Why thank you, darling. I love having fangirls, you should make a fan club for me and recruit others. My own personal arm---fan club. ^^;

Well, I'm certainly glad I'm not the only one feeling a bit of jealousy. I'm not usually a jealous person either, so I guess this is my one thing.

I don't know why I'm so surprised by that. I guess it makes sense, but still. I'm not going to worry about figuring my sexuality out just yet. I'm single, so I don't have to worry about hurting any partners should I decide that I'm right about myself. (Which I'm comfortable with saying is very likely.)
Also, you're very welcome. I always feel like I have to comment on couples that I find adorable. I just love your story together 3nodding

Umbral_Necropolitan

Would it be safe to assume that you've always been bisexual? And can I ask about your other half? I'm a sucker for couples.. As I believe I have made obvious.

Thank you very much for responding and reading! I just wanted someones' opinion on it and some clarity. Sometimes I just get so frustrated with myself and wish I could just pick if I wanted to be more feminine or masculine. >.< But generally, they're the same. But I do think that I am gender-fluid. Perhaps I will consider myself it now. :3

I understand your position! :3


No problem. And remember that it is YOUR identity, no one else's. It is totally normal and alright for you to change your mind later if you find yourself gravitating towards one or the other. In the meantime, enjoy the freedom!


Aw. Well, thank you very much! That makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. You're very nice. ^^


Not a problem at all. And we're always here to be all supportive and whatnot, haha ;D


So sweet! =D I'm glad I found this forum. Haha. My kind of place.

Welcome Alex~ And might I just say that Alex is a PERFECT gender-neutral name XD (Also I just like the name Alex)

Anyway, it is completely possible you are gender-fluid. I like the idea of gender-fluidity, since it really lets you have all-around comfort regardless of how people perceive you :> I am jealous. I used to think I was gender-fluid, but alas, over time I couldn't come to terms with having a 'female self' as much.

It's up to you to decide how you view yourself and what your internal identity is, but I'd say if you are comfortable as either gender, you'd fall into the gender-fluid category.

I get this one a lot. People have this misconception about transpeople and their ability to pass. In short, they think we can't. If you pass, some people will automatically assume that you must be going the other way.
And every time you ask him for another vanishing act,
he half smiles as if to say...


Wow, that's actually really interesting to think about. A little mean towards transpeople, assuming we can never pass though. But I guess it's kind of comforting to know it happens to others too.

..."Whatever you want,
whatever you want,
whatever you want is fine by me."
Happens to me all the time. Of course I dress pretty masculine.

And you're MtF? I probably get it for the same reasons.
Yeah.
