Any other gender diverse people here?

womandrogyne

i think this counts as a special interest - of mine, anyway. I've met so many other people on the spectrum who are gender diverse in some way, and I'm always happy to connect.

By gender diverse I mean trans, intersex, genderqueer, gender questioning, agender, non-binary, and so on...

I'm genderless and trans female, I began transitioning six years ago in my 40s. Gender never really made any sense of my experience at all (though I have no problems with it working for other people), I just knew my body was supposed to be female, so I got it upcycled :-). I co-lead a non-binary support group in the South West, and kind of unofficially mentor younger trans and/or non-binary people, many of whom as I said are also on the spectrum.

  • I agree. I do like sparkly glittery things, I rarely go out without s little make up on, just I feel ugly and look pale without it. A friend said to me a number of years ago "I haven't met a female who doesn't watch the soaps" I replied "Well you have now". Sitting through East Enders Or Dead Enders as I call it is like watching paint dry!!!  I hate shoppiing there's one or two female friends who tend to browse and I'm  thinking "C'mon hurry up, if you want it buy it, don't just stand there looking at it saying , OHH that's pretty". If I do need to go shopping for clothes/shoes I get frustrated if I can't find what I'm looking forin first shop and have to trawl round loads of shops. I usually browse online first to see if the store have what I want, then try it on in store, or take a chance I've ordered the right size online. I hate crowded shops (tho will happily be in the crowd at a rock concert). The only shops I do enjoy browsing in are CD/record stores, have found some gems especially secondhand or in indie shops. Saying that in 1989 I found Queen's "The Miracle" 45rpm with limited edition holographic cover in Woolworths of all places. I thought I'm getting that!!!!
