Both appeared to be trans, or at least not fitting with certain gender norms.

This is not a question. This is fact. How dare u. (Lol thanks!)

Yup it is! Every year on the last day of March!

• I am female to male(ish), though I've always felt the way I am. I just never had words to explain it. I grew up a tomboy, and when I got my period and started developing in puberty I hated my body and thought it was normal. Acted and dressed very "butch" to try and overcompensate, even before I realized why I felt the need to assert my "manliness". Wasn't until I met some trans people in real life when I was just turning twenty or so that I went "....holy shit well that explains a lot"
• Oops kind of answered this above lol. Well as I said, I always felt uncomfortable with the identity of female, but I simply didn't know there was any other options. I grew up in a small town. I was the "dyke" of my town, to show you the prevalent mindset of it. Bunch of white farmers and riggers. Anyways, once I realized I was trans, I realized I couldn't do anything about it until I got out of my town. There were no resources, no support, and if I got shitkicked for being a lesbian I could only imagine how bad it would've been had I come out as trans. So I moved to the city to go to art school, and came out the next year. Failed school, but I honestly didn't care because I met up with a bunch of great people who helped me understand what I was feeling. Ironically, coming out made me STOP trying to be a hypermasculine oversexed mysogynistic asshole. Funny how that works. I realized I was actually pretty femme, asexual, feminist and.... well okay I can still be an asshole but at least it's not because I'm "trying" to be a man lmao Transition-wise, I haven't done anything. I have all my name change papers filled out, all I need to do is go get digital fingerprints and then I can mail everything off and make it official. But anxiety has kept me trapped indoors the last few months, but with any luck I'll be bypassing that. I won't be getting HRT until I'm more stable in the mental health department because I don't know how it'll interact with my meds, and I'd rather not turn into an uncontrollable ragemonster haha. And surgeries.... Eh. I want top surgery more than anything, but I'm not really in a rush? It's free in my province, but it's also a three year waiting list. I should probably get the ball at least rolling on that one, but again, mental health is taking front seat at this time.
• It made things pretty tense with my family for a while. Like, they were accepting, but then made zero effort to use the right name/pronouns. And then Christmas in '13 a post kind of blew up on FB where my Nana said I wouldn't be a real man until I had surgery (this was ignorance on her part, NOT meant to be hurtful) and my friends jumped down her throat and then my aunt and cousins jumped in and it was an absolute shitshow lmao I ended up deleting the status and reposting this in its place and everyone was amazed at how levelheaded and calm I remained. But lo and behold, my family started to make an effort once I told them how much it hurt that they misgendered me. It's only been going uphill (albeit slowly) from there. Uhhh, friends wise, it's been... difficult on some fronts, easy as pie on others. The friends I've had a long time have had a lot of difficulty adjusting and I'm trying to be patient but it's been over two years now so.... I dunno. I've made a whole bunch of new friends from all walks of life though, because this city has an amazing LGBTQ+ community. I befriended the local drag king troupe and have contacts from the queer community who can answer any questions I might have. My internet friends are almost entirely nonbinary or trans themselves, so that was no bother at all hahaha And my boyfriend is also trans, so it's been pretty great! Unfortunately, he's in the States, so for him to transition would take a lot of money and stupid shit like putting his name in the paper (because announcing you're trans to a billion strangers is a good idea but that's the LAW there), so he's gonna wait til he moves up here to do anything. I get the feeling that once I start moving forward with my transition, there might be some jealousy on his end, but I know he loves me and will be supportive, and I'll do my best to be understanding in return. Though other than the name change, I can't see me really going much further until he's up here anyways, so it might not come to that haha

WOW SORRY I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF

That's alright! A lot of them are lesser known.

• Demidude is my way of saying demiboy, which is someone who mostly feels like a guy, but sometimes feels like something else (usually agender). In my case I'm about 65/35 male/agender. Some days I'm feeling dudely, some days I don't feel like anything.
• Poly is short for polyamorous. Just means I'm open to dating multiple people, though at this time I'm not looking for anyone
• Gray-asexual is a type of asexual. Asexuals don't feel sexual attraction towards anyone, whereas gray-asexuals feel sexual attraction infrequently or not very strongly or possibly aren't quite sure whether or not what they experience is sexual attraction. I find a LOT of people aesthetically attractive but I've never wanted to get in their pants (so if I say "wow get in my bed" I actually mean "holy shit you're gorgeous let me just stare at you forever"). The number of people I've been sexually attracted to is minuscule.
• Quoiromantic (also known as WTFromantic) is a type of aromantic, where I find it difficult to differentiate between romantic and platonic feelings. Basically, I'm not romantic, but I will super-friend the fuck out of you. But sometimes I get confused about whether my super-friend feelings aren't just watered down romantic feelings so this term just really clicked when I found it.

If you're unfamiliar with any of the others, or are curious as to how they apply to me, just let me know! (In case you haven't realized by now, I am more than happy to talk about myself lmao)

:D
