Thank you for "Your Identity"!

When I joined the community recently I edited my profile and was disappointed to find we only had two gender options, especially in light of the "now I know" campaign. So I sent a message requesting a third, and I just spotted that it's been changed!  We now have a non-binary option, and it's categorised as "your identity."

Thank you NAS people! I am feeling validated and seen in wonderful ways.

Anyone else here in the autigender category? I have never particularly felt attached to either male or female. I have aspects of both, but I'm also not quite either.  Gender mostly seems like a social construct to me, and I'm not always good with those.

  • That's great to hear! I'm so happy for you :) 

    I hadn't even noticed that it had changed lol I'm not very observant.

    Gender is something I feel extremely confused about at times and something I'm always trying to "work out" but I'm still not really understanding it or myself. Maybe one day. It helps seeing others like you because I know it's ok and that hopefully I can work things out too.

    I'm still working things out- it's definitely a whole process, and things change over time as well. If your gender of the day is just "confused" that's perfectly valid too! 

    I'm always open to answering questions on the subject.

    I've had a lot of gender issues this year until I finally bit the bullet this year and whilst I did consider a gender changer, I eventually bought myself a couple of female to female adapters.

    Now I can fit either of my dongles at either end of the cable and figure out what works best for me.. 

    Not sure why I felt the need to say it in public, mind you...
