We are Gender-Fluid!

Suggestion! Genderfluid People—Self-Introductions!

So how do you all feel about self-introduction posts here at Genderfluidity? I’ll go first of course, to get things rolling, but I’d love to have more contributions and ideas shared around. I wish I were more knowledgable so I could give more awesome answers instead of just asking you all, even though you folks often really come through for the community.

I want to meet more of you and we could use this blog as a way to mingle and get to know each other. :D

I’m Hermie in general and Anna when I’m in my more femme moods. I’m a lit professor and music teacher, I’m creative (writing, music, drama, and voice acting), and I’m polyamorous and panromantic in addition to being genderfluid. I love wordplay and good conversation, and I’m sapiosexual, attracted to intelligence. For friendship and romance I am attracted to personality rather than bodies; for turnons though I guess I love faces and hands, eyes and eyebrows; once I love you as a friend though I’m attracted altogether. Not that it matters much in real life. 

I love friends and making new ones. I’m dead lonely here in Asia where I’m an expatriate, and would love to know all of you better. 

Hugs!

Sometimes I’m pretty sure I’m insane.

Like right now, typing that in, I’m being honest, but the back of my brain is telling me that I’m a liar. It does that a lot. It says I’m lying when I’m not lying, and it makes me doubt myself constantly. Am I lying? Am I just looking for attention? Probably. That’s what it tells me, I’m a liar looking for attention. Just jumping on the bandwagon of things people are talking about to get noticed. Genderfluidity. Could that be me? No, you’re just looking for attention. But I’ve always felt weird about being a girl. Uncomfortable. I like it sometimes, but sometimes I just don’t want to be. You’re lying you like being a girl just fine, it’s fine, you know people would make fun of you for it anyway, why would you lie about THIS? I don’t know. Sometimes I type up posts or replies or comments on reblogs and just close the tab because my brain yells at me for lying or trying to get attention and I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. I’ll post this. I’m promising myself I’ll post this. Maybe it’ll remind me not to listen to whatever it is in my head that calls me a liar. Probably not. It’s stronger than me. It’s always been stronger than me… am I insane? I need help. I think? Maybe I’m just lying. There it is again.

If it make you feel any better… I do this, too. I do this all the time. That constant nagging second-guessing voice in the back of your head that always talks you down. It’s not insanity, but probably anxiety. We think too much, and it makes us worry more than we should about our own actions and thoughts and beliefs and everything. All too often I back out of responding to things for the same reasons.

I’m always terrified to tell people about it. I feel like they’re going to lock me away somewhere so I don’t spread my crazy..

I’ve felt this way before, it took a long time to really feel comfortable accepting my genderfluidity, I had decades of self-denial to overcome.
