#gender presentation

when i pull off a very “masculine”/androgynous voice on here while acting or singing, trust that it requires lots of effort. I was raised to sound and speak like a princess, and still enjoy princess iconography and ideas— not to mention, their FRAGGIN MUSIC IT IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE DISNEY MUSIC (i hate disney’s practices tho) and that made me end up lea salonga. Like anytime i speak or sing i sound like her. i did not actively manifest this or anything it was a complete mistake and fluke of genetics and evolution and autistic person social conditioning on my part. and yet, when people meet me for the first time, with or without knowing my name or pronouns, there seems to be something “off” about me or my voice or otherwise how i communicate as a “female” person. it’s odd. Like i’m neither male nor female, or perhaps both, to others; but in my heart i’m male.

[PT: Chapstick]

A flag for chapsticks. Chapsticks are usually defined as being "in between butch and femme", or being neat and "feminine" in their mannerisms whilst leaning more butch. They're similar to soft butches and futches/chemmes.

Inclusive of chapstick lesbians, chapstick bis, and others who describe themselves as chapstick.

(ID in alt)

An older, feminine man whose presentation and/or role could be considered motherly or even elegant in nature. Getting older as a man doesn't mean you're locked out of feminity, nor does it mean you're worth less than a janegirl or twink. With ages, one gains new possibilities to attractiveness. Aging with wisdom like a fine wine.

[PT: Fluid ambiguous presentation flag. End PT.]

[No spoons for ID. Sorry.]

Someone whose presentation is both fluid and ambiguous.

The thing that kills me is the number of TERFS, detransitioners, AND Transgender folks who demonize coming to terms with a new identity. Like, really? Yall can really be just as bad as the wizard bitch, but it ain't that deep.

I'm still your ally, we're in this shitshow together. My time as a man kept me alive and helped me learn to love myself a little - something I am legendarily fucking bad at. It just isn't the right choice for me anymore, because I've finally reconnected with parts of myself I'd resented or hated in the past.

Also what does it mean to have a xenine, aporine, outherine, maverine, etc. presentation?

You can absolutely use a presentation term even if you don't outwardly express yourself in that way!

I answered a question about abinary presentation here in another ask. Basically, it's personal and cultural. It's not going to look the same for everyone. It's entirely based on how you personally view those qualities for yourself and how you want to be read by others.
