Gender is a spectrum and that also includes the intensity of those feelings. You don’t need to place any specific labels on yourself but that is certainly relatable to someone like me who is genderfluid, as well as those of us in the system who are demigender. - Cass (xe/xem)
I don’t know how much of it has to do with being on the spectrum and how much of it has to do with people just being extremely judgy but a lot of things are tucked away until someone gets to know us. It also doesn’t at all help that in our experience, people have used information against us to get us in trouble.
As a result, we don’t discuss hobbies, even “normal” ones. Can’t talk about drawing because we’re furries and people are still weird about that. Can’t talk about hiking or nature stuff because it would lead to discussions of naturism/nudism which again, people are still weird about. Aside from hobbies, discussing being plural and trans is completely off the table unless we’re 1000% sure the other party isn’t going to be an asshole about it. - Phoebe (it/its)
