Last post aside, I figured out my gender, finally. Not fully, but enough for me to be able to be happy with a label.
I’m shiftfluid! Keep in mind that I still generally use he/him pronouns.
What that means, is my gender changes based on alterhuman shifts. In most of my shifts, I’m male, but in one (Peridot shift) I’m xenogender (not sure if a gem-specific gender term exists out there, but xenogender fits best so far) and in another (Angel Dust shift) I’m a demiboy! In other words my gender is a bit of a mess, but I’m dealing with it and figuring it out.
I haven’t met too many people whose gender is affected by their alterhuman identity, so I figured I’d make this post as both an update as well as a sort of “I’m here” for other people who feel similarly but don’t talk about it openly. You’re valid, and I think more talk of the intersections between alterhumanity and gender would be great to see around the community.
