enby swans? I love,

Marlo also interviewed Meredith Lee/Derek Moo who identifies as "dual gender." They have been out publicly for six years, and in "various semi-private spaces" for up to 20 years. "I pretty much live openly as either presentation, and it seems to work. I go to work as either Meredith or Derek. My kids are fine, my kids are almost adults. All of my family knows, all of my relatives know," they say. "The software company I work for has been pretty proactive in terms of the whole diversity and inclusion thing. I was the first openly trans person in the company, to my knowledge. "When I first presented as Merri, it was at one of the Christmas parties, which is the classic way to do it, right? Might as well wear a dress to the party!"

Using multiple identities is actually pretty common for multigender people! When you look through the history we have of people who identified in some way as multiple genders, like on the Digital Transgender Archive, there are a lot of people who would go by different names or explicitly see themselves as having different personas for their different genders (there's a precedent for lots of plural/multigender overlap).

[ID: A set of four flags with 8 stripes, going from mid purple, to dark blue, to mid teal, to lighter green, to very light orange, to mid red, to darker pink, to dark grey. The flags on the top have a circle symbol with a plus sign inside it, and two diagonal lines coming out of it. The top and bottom right flags are more saturated and bright than the ones on the left side. End ID]

Multigender flag

I wanted to make my own multigender flag!!! The symbol was also made by me, and I tried to model it to look similar to other gender symbols. The plus sign is meant to represent having multiple genders, and the two diagonal lines are based off of the epicene symbol and subsequent genderfluid symbols, to represent people in those groups as well.

I kept in the blues and orange from the original flag to pay respects to it, as well as added in a variety of other colors to showcase the spectrum of gender identity. I didn't base every stripe off of individual umbrellas, since it would be inevitable that doing so would leave some groups out.

This is a flag for anyone who has multiple genders, at any point in time. Whether bigender, genderfluid, pangender, or any other identity that encompasses multiple genders in some sense.

Here's the symbol (it's black, so on some themes you might not be able to see it):

This turned into a small rant and so I’m putting it in its own post here:

You are never going to get yourself in trouble at work by privately writing down the details of bullshit that happens at work. Dates, times, names, context.

In a note on your personal phone, or in a notebook you don’t leave at work, somewhere other than on a work laptop or work email (if applicable), keep a record of things that are outright fuckery or even just don’t seem right to you. Maybe they’ll be few and far between and it will never come up. In which case, great! But if it’s six months later and that creepy coworker has slowly escalated their personal questions and pressuring offers to drive you home, you are GREATLY benefited from having something written down on paper with specifics to bring to HR or to your lawyer.

I know there is a temptation to hope things go away, which means you won’t need to do anything. But if you come to your boss later saying “they’ve been doing this for a long time”, and you only have a vague recollection of how and when the abuse started, you’ve left yourself at a huge disadvantage.

You can't fake things by accident

Faking has to be intentional, it's an action you have to do on purpose and for a reason, so if you were actually faking, you would know it.

If you ever think "what if I'm faking it", then it means you're not

My requests are open if you would like me to do a flag sticker for your gender/sexuality/romantic orientation! I am also working on another set of pride stickers, which I'll probably have out by the end of this week.

I feel like genderfluid people are treated as a joke, especially when their spectrum involves specific nonbinary gender labels.

I made two redesigns of the polygender flag, since im not a fan of the current one.

For each, pink is for feminine genders, yellow is for non-binary genders, purple is mixed genders, blue is masculine genders, and black/white is for neutral or mysterious genders :3c

People who experience different genders at different times? Radiant

People who have multiple genders at once and experience different genders at different times? Wonderful
