Been taking some time thinking about how my Pride Month post would go, since I've been having quite the paradigm shift in things.

After plenty of thought, I've settled on the flags that I feel are best for me. Feel free to read on and take in my thoughts.

To begin, there is of course pansexual. This one is pretty easy, I'm good with any biological sex and gender in any combination.

Next, the good old genderfluid. This one still rings true, even if the full story has shifted somewhat, which will be explained further below.

Next is otherkin. Considering how I am, some of you could easily guess I don't truly feel...human. My body's not the most comfortable it could be, and there's also my place as a system, which is also covered by the next flag.

Next, the disability flag. I've had quite a few disabilities since birth. I've been officially diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia, and am pretty sure I have some form of plurality. Lyn is one of my headmates, as you may have seen by her typing for me before. I have more headmates too, and I know one I'd love to introduce to the public when they're ready. Age dysphoria is a major thing I'm sure I have too, and it ties into my gender identity as well, which will be explained down the line.

Next, non-binary. This one kinda goes hand in hand with genderfluid, doesn't it? I've put it here as I've leaned more into that side, and found myself finding they/them sounding more right.

Now onto the trans flag. I might not have used this before, but I feel comfortable doing so now. My gender fluidity has leaned deeper into the fem side of things over time, I really like being referred to with feminine terms, and have found "good girl" especially sets me off in the right way. I wouldn't say I'm fully trans fem, but my age dysphoria really plays into this. To explain, I'll quote Nyxiette, "I want to be a girl, but I'm also fine with being a boy. I just really, REALLY don't want to be a "man" if that makes any sense".

Lastly, the lesbian flag. Regardless of everything, I do find my pansexuality still leans more towards girls, and as I feel more comfortable expressing as fem, I can say that I feel safe in calling myself a lesbian. @stoneth referring to me as her girlfriend only heightens that sense.

I know this was a long post, but I hope you read through to the end, and if so, I thank you for doing so. Happy Pride, everybody.
