#gendie

It has come to my attention that there is an indivual who has been impersonating me on the internet. My sources tell me that he goes by the handle @river-grunfeld

They are not River Grunfeld

I'm not sure how he got my name, but this is not me.

A special thanks goes to @catsinacottage who discovered this freak and called him out on my behalf

a gendie flag for anon!

gendie was commonly used in the community a few years ago in the definitions of various terms. it doesn't really have a set meaning — it's just a cuter way of saying 'gender', ie 'a gendie related to [x]' — but to me, it has sort of silly/happy vibes, so that's what i went with for the flag.

on a more serious note, I've instinctively wanted boys/men's labeled clothing my entire life. I have some serious news to break to my lesbian girlfriend.

good news: IDs already have no gender markers!!!

IDs only have an M, for male, or an F, for female. this is your sex, which is immutable, and will remain the same from birth until death.

the small M or F on your ID does not state how you wear your hair, what pronouns you use, what type of clothing you wear, whether your favorite color is blue or pink, whether you identify as a woman or a man or nonbinary, whether you are masculine or feminine, whether you have or have not taken cross-sex-hormones, or whether you look more like a woman or a man. it is just your sex. an entirely neutral biological state of being, just a data point about which out of the 2 human sexes you are. that's all. means nothing else about you. just your sex.
