You might want to look up cassgender or agender. :) maybe it fits for you!
Thanks! I think cassgender fits well but I need to think about it more.
Maybe. Or it might come off as you not caring which pronouns they use for you, and as far as I know apathy isn't a gender.
Some people identify as agender
I dunno how trans folk feel or think about it, and it's pretty obvious how jerks would react to it. But from an outside perspective, I think most allies are going to either ask, or assume gender neutrality without a specific preference, or perhaps fluidity. Maybe a newer ally is going to be a confused and ask what it means, but that's a good thing, isn't it?
In my experience, folks that list any/all tend to be not trans, and fall under one of the non binary self labels.
That last part was really confusing for a second until I remembered that not everyone thinks of transgender as an umbrella term that includes nonbinary.
Yeah, tbh, offline I don't know anyone that does. It's one of those things where non binary, gender fluid, and similar self labels function differently on a social level, so they get lumped as a separate grouping. I've seen/heard it explained that trans as a grouping leans so heavily into the binary via the distinct needs of medical transition that (despite there being overlap) it "feels" different.
I end up following the conventions of people I know irl as the default because that's where I use the terminology the most, so those speech patterns get etched in.
NB people can identify as trans. Usually NB people who go through any type of medical transition identify as trans. It’s quite common.
Sure. It's just that I don't tend to run into it much, so it isn't at the front of my head.
