ph0513 asked: hey, I just wanted to say--thank you for this wonderful blog! i'm 14, have always identified as female and felt pretty comfortable with it but sometimes just sort of felt, well, more like a dude. anyway i didn't really know what genderfluidity was before now and i think i might start dressing a bit more masculine every now and then, maybe like come out really gradually. thanks for being awesome and helping me figure stuff out! :D
You are very welcome. :D
I never ever expected to have such a huge reaction. Thank you darlings!
Big loving hugs from Anna
Thank you very much for your encouragement and support, everyone. I even told her I had started a genderfluid blog and was just about at 2000 followers. That’s you guys. Kind of my extended family. I love you.

Anonymous asked: hey! your blog is amazing, keep up the stellar work, mates! your answers have really helped with things. okay, so my question: i'm finding pronouns kind of tricky for me. sometimes i'm OK and like female pronouns other times i really hate it, and i'm not sure if i should stick with gendered pronouns or start using 'they'. which do you think would be better? thank you!! <3
Well, it’s totally and completely your call, as everyone has their own feelings about what works for them. It’s an individual thing; some like pronouns that are always applicable, while others like to change the pronouns to suit their moods. Try things out and see how it feels for you. There are lots of possible pronouns; check the pronouns tag.
Personally I have come to like “they” for myself, but that might not be perfect for you.
Whatever works, that’s a good choice. Thank you for the appreciation!
Thank you for joining the readership and participating in discussions, reading and thinking and responding, and for forming a core of the genderfluid community here.
Big loving hugs and respect to each of you, and all of you as a group. You enrich my life.

Anonymous asked: You don't have to respond, but today I found out that I wasn't alone on WIKIPEDIA of all places, researching the original meaning of the word faggot. From there I went on a quest through the different articles, like I so often do, until I came on one about being genderqueer. I had never known that such a thing existed. I've dealt with feeling like a boy and a girl mashed into one body my entire life and thought I was alone. Thank you for proving that I'm not.
You’re welcome! ~bear hugs~
The word faggot is not such a bad word in its origins and in some of its uses. In fact, a form of it is used as the word for ‘bassoon,’ which is a home away from home for me.
Love from Hermie…please don’t be a stranger!

keplermira asked: I've got to say, I get a really good feeling in my gut when I see you guys on my dashboard. Thank you for having this blog. :]
Thank you too! :D You’re welcome. I love to hear appreciative messages like yours. Hugs!
enviouslittlerobin asked: I understand the Anon, I don't always feel female or male, I feel lost in between. There are plenty of days I fight with myself in front of a mirror trying to figure out what to wear or loathing that I have to dress a specific way because I'm going to see someone who doesn't necessarily understand who I am. I don't feel like a change of pronouns even if I wear boy clothes, and I don't feel like I need different parts. What I do know is that I'm welcome to be who I am, whomever it is, here. <3
Bless you for the very lovely and gracious way you said that. You are, of course, very correct.
All are welcome as they are here at our blog and in our welcoming arms.
Love from Anna!
Anonymous asked: Hello. :-) First off, I would like to thank you for posting such positive and diverse things. You brighten my days. I wanted to see if anyone else had the same kind of gender stuff going on. I don't really know how I identify, but I am unsure to weather it is the result of a lack of understanding/education or weather I have my own identifier. :3
Hi! You’re welcome, I’m glad that we can do something to help the community…the main thing I’d love to do is to think back in ten years and realize that we have helped to actually form a community! Ah, aspirations…!
But I think that you can get the feeling for different sorts of identifications through this blog and others that focus on such things…you and you alone can determine this for yourself.
All I can do is send hugs and tell you that you’re OK as you are, however you are, and even if you change, you’re still a valuable person and we want you to be here growing with us.
Love and all that
Anna
tea-timelords-and-221b asked: I thank the cosmic intelligence, or whatever's up there, for blogs like this. I thought I was weird. I didn't know other people had "boy days" too. As a gender-something-or-other-non-binary individual, I want to thank you for all the support you provide, the advice you give, the hope you establish in people-- how you make us feel less alone. It's a beautiful thing, to feel like you belong.
We love readers like you who actually remind us that we’re reaching an audience and being helpful to them. I started this out originally because I was so lonesome and wanted friends who would love me back. So
you guys
I still want more close friends
I can hug and kiss and say good morning to
and love forever
I got sidetracked, sorry, but in the spirit of your URL,
