When I was figuring my self out, one of the things that cracked off a big chunk of shell was a reasonably famous dude on Twitter (well you know Twitter famous) saying he'd thought about his gender and come to the conclusion he was really a dude.

Up until that point I'd been hiding behind the assumption that anyone who actually thought about this would end up figuring they aren't their gender assigned at birth, and most people have just never thought about it but were probably some flavour of non binary at least.

So... Hay... Cis folk, I... Errr... Think there are some of you following me... Maybe...

Want to do a trans person a solid and chime in with your answers below.?

Have you thought about your gender? What it would be like to not be your current gender?

Did it feel good? Better? "Oh fuck no"?

@mindpersephone Am cis, considered my gender, came out still cis (but like, Wolf Male not Human Male), so yeah I'm like that Twitter dude!

DEFINITELY the idea of being a woman is "oh fuck no" for me. Being agender or something would be less INSTANT NOPE, but still, I like my gender and I'm keepin' it. :3

I still consider myself nonbinary since I'm not /human man/ male, though. I'm both male and nonbinary and that confuses the heck out of people. :3

@IceWolf @mindpersephone also since i find myself in a somewhat similar situation
i had never considered labelling myself as nonbinary, since that falls under
gender stuff really, no?
its an interesting thought, and being nb and fem at once does sound like a funny idea to throw a lot of folks through a loop

@det @mindpersephone Haha yeah! :3 It is gender stuff, my gender is kinda related to my species (which makes sense, since my species affects _everything_)

like, I'm male, but I'm male in the way you'd look at a male wolf and go "oh he's male". I'm not male in the way you'd look at a human man and go "oh he's a man", with all the associated Gender Role Baggage.

@IceWolf @mindpersephone actually, yeah this is true
i mean i thought of it as
my species informs my gender
so im a woman when you shift focus from human gender concepts to crow ones
though i suppose in something where the default is human centric, using something like nonbinary, isnt entirely wrong either yeah
Show threadFrost, wolf of winter πŸΊπŸŽ„Mar 5

@det @mindpersephone Yeah exactly!

I don't think I'd be nonbinary among wolves, just among humans.

@IceWolf @mindpersephone yeahhh thats exactly it
a fun little conversation wrapped with some slight self realization
or, maybe less so self and moreso how others perceive me, but
im still learning regardless
