​ Agender - a gender identity that is neither "woman", "man", nor any other gender. Being agender can be defined as having no gender identity. Some feel that they identify more as a person rather than a gender, or feel genderless, or like they're outside of the gender binary.

@nuz ....but I want sparkles too 🙁

(nah it's fine, every option on the poll will need the sparkles way more than a generic straight white guy  )

@nuz Oooh, I've never heard of quoisexual before. That's an interesting one! And possibly useful for me. Will have to look deeper.

Anyway, I ticked the something else because I mostly identify as ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯, because identity is complicated and confusing and difficult, and I don't know what I am, and I'm very tired.

Folk like me even have a flag! I share this as often as I can, because I like it a lot. It was made by parakeet.tumblr, https://parakeet.tumblr.com/post/651640948575682560/just-invented-a-new-pride-flag-for-people-who-have

@nuz I’m kind of surprised there are so few of us transmascs. I kind of expected there to be fewer transmascs than transfems but not such an extreme difference.

Also my gender is many things, and I’ve kinda given up trying to find exact labels, but I guess almost all of the things I’m fluid between fall under the term aporagender (genders that are unrelated to the binary genders, but also not agender).

@nuz so I picked other because of the lack of “panromantic”

It’s a weird thing being ace and panromantic. Love all— cuddle all — no sex. 

@nuz

I checked "something else" to indicate my xenogenders . No pressure to make any sparkles. 😊

@nuz
As someone identifying non-binary, describing attraction in terms of straight/lesbian/gay/pan/bi all feel a bit unfitting. The best I’ve found to describe my ”thing” is gynosexual, attraction femininity in all it’s forms, wether it’s cis/trans/demiwomen, femboys, sissies, femleaning nb’s etc…

Hence ”other” for me = gynosexual. And now I see there is even a flag for this! I did not know…
