so like. my faed crew. yes? i poured my heart and soul into those four i love them sm.
i may have poured too much heart and/or soul into them aihskdhsksha
so like. i made them (mostly) all together, and i refined their characterizations to something pretty close to how they are now by the time covid first hit.
ramona, the cis(?) woman(?) who honestly doesn't give a shit how she's seen but regards herself as distinctly "woman." an agent of chaos
alex, ramona's sibling who happens to be questioning their gender during the events of the main plot. (i know how their gender journey winds up eventually but they don't yet and they won't until the plot is already long since over.)
leroy, an introverted cis man whose first introduction to queer people was the other three in the group and who doesn't really know how to describe his attraction, only that he is VERY in love with…
gale, a genderqueer agent of chaos on par with ramona and who picks and chooses bits of various kinds of gender presentation purely for the enjoyment of it all, all while not actually belonging to any one gender. fundamentally unmisgenderable, so long as the would-be misgenderer is not intentionally trying to box them into one specific gender
ok. so now let's take a look at my own relationship to gender.
started out a presumably cis woman, but one who didn't really mind when internet strangers used he/him pronouns instead of the she/her i was used to
started questioning my gender one day and just sorta…never really stopped. had no idea where i was going or what i was doing, only that "woman" was wrong and i was curious what would be right
settled into a sorta "masculine but to the left" gender but didn't really want to worry too much about more specifics. it worked well enough for me!
coining "bitgender" in my head- as in, whatever gender best fits The Bit™- for a little while but not really sure how to really describe it to others, ntm how being able to utilize different bits of gender presentation (like having a massive vocal range for both fem and masc moments) then discovering "funnygender" exists and has already been defined and that it fits me just like "bitgender" does and getting hit by the biggest fucking tsunami of euphoria i've felt since i looked in a mirror and mistook myself for my brother in 2019.
what i'm saying is my beloved childhood OCs i first created like a decade or so ago predicted my freaking gender
