Any Genderfluid Members Willing to Share Their Experiences For a Character?

Recommended Posts

Hey, so, as a fiction writer; I'd like to write a book with a Genderfluid main character. The only thing is, I don't know anyone in real life to talk with about their experiences, and I'd like to be as thorough and accurate as possible. Anyone willing to deal with my questions?

I'm intersex and for a while I identified as genderfluid.  Mostly living in my "boy form" now, but it doesn't fit 100%.  You can PM me if you'd like, although everybody's experience is going to vary tremendously.  My sister is also a writer, so I can ask her questions as well.  Let me know what fiction genre you are working with 😊

wow, that would be great! It's probably going to be realistic fiction, but I might add some fantasy elements.

Hi!

I'm female genderfluid, mostly living my "girl phase", but I can switch between boy, girl and "nothing" within months, days, hours.. (though outside I always appear as a female but would like to be more masculine too). I actually have written stories as a hobby (mostly short stories and poems) for years, currently working on a fantasy novel! 😊Sadly I'm such a new member, that I can't send PM yet (if I got it right), but feel free to ask me anything if you need to! (I think one way would be sending a file with questions and me replying with a file). 

 

Kind regards, Salted Caramel (SC)

Hi Glitched,

 

I am MtF genderfluid, although I have identified myself using lots of other labels.  I am mostly male, but possess a very strong female personality who needs plenty of her own time to be fulfilled.  I can honestly say that I live in both gender worlds and for the most part, keep those worlds separate and apart.  It probably sounds complicated, but it is the way I've made peace with my dual genders and it works.  Occasionally, I feel as though I'm cheating, not choosing one gender over another, but then I remind myself that do doing so forces me into the gender binary camp.  That doesn't work for me, because the binary world is too constricting.  My personality is too complex to reside in a singular gender.

wow, that's really interesting!

      Sounds great to me can't wait. Still long wait once consult done wait to see if insurance will pay for it. Then an appeal. Then booking OR and DR. Final fitting. I feel still many steps but a start

      I like the vibrant colors of spring.  I love all seasons.  I like the changing.  I'm putting my yard through a transition this year and look forward to it being nice and clean in the spring in a year or two.

      https://fb.watch/jvJKCT52lo/   This isn't strictly "news", but I found it so uplifting. Marama Davidson, a Maori woman who is Minister for Sexual Violence Prevention in Aotearoa New Zealand, responds to accusations of violence at the Posie Parker protest in Auckland this weekend. Parker, for those who don't know, is one of the most virulently hateful anti-trans activists in Britain. She left Auckland unscathed but doused in tomato juice. Ironically, given the journalist interviewing Marama Davidson is only interested in the so-called violence against Parker, Davidson was knocked down earlier that day at a pedestrian crossing by a member of a motorcycle gang who had come to support Parker. But Davidson doesn't want to speak about that, she wants to speak of her love for trans people. So moving.

      https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/25/anti-trans-activist-posie-parker-ends-new-zealand-tour-after-violent-protests-erupt   Posie Parker (AKA Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull), one of the most extreme of UK "gender critical" activists, has recently been on tour in Australia and New Zealand. Early in the tour, she made headlines when a gang of neo-unhealthy politics showed up for her Melbourne appearance and -- with the protection of police, who held back the large and vocal group of trans people and allies who had come to protest the event -- mounted the steps of Victorian Parliament House throwing unhealthy politics salutes and carrying a banner saying "DESTROY PAEDO FREAKS". From then on, an increasing number of protesters turned up to each of her appearances. On her last stop in Australia -- in Hobart, Tasmania -- she was drowned out by boos and left saying it was the worst place she'd ever visited. But far worse awaited her in Auckland. She has now cut the tour short and returned to England.

      Oh, and as to the bills denying gender-affirming healthcare to children, I agree, almost nothing depresses me more than this. I work with trans kids and I see what that healthcare means for them, and I sometimes wonder what I will do if I have to watch it taken away from them. I don't know if I can bear reading anything else about Florida; it is truly devastating to witness, even from this distance. 😭

      I'm not in the States or the UK so, at this point, I'm not dealing with the same levels of despair, frustration, fear and anger that many of you must be. I see it from a distance. It affects me, and I'm pretty sure Australia will experience more of this transphobic madness in due time, but for the most part I feel safe where I am. I'm out and visibly trans every day and generally only receive positive feedback. That said, and I'm sorry if this sounds naive, but I believe ultimately we will win, because we have young people on our side. Not just young trans and gender-non-conforming people either, but a large percentage of young people who have grown up with trans friends and acquaintances and just don't see what the fuss is about. I think the gender genie is well and truly out of the bottle. That's why the transphobes hate and fear us, because of the power of what we have unleashed. And yes, I know it may take a while, and it may get even bloodier in the meantime, but gradually society is simply going to have to accommodate us. And I firmly believe that as that happens society will change, not just wrt gender but fundamentally, because gender is so fundamental to society.   @Ivy I totally admire and support you for being out and proud in your little village; I'm sure you are doing good work educating people simply by being yourself. But I'm also sad to hear you don't interact with the younger trans people in the area. I think one of the biggest drivers in disharmony in the world, both in the wider society and within the trans community, is the generational divide. Simply by interacting, by swapping ideas in a calm and friendly manner, and NOT just on the internet, I think younger and older trans people can both learn so much, and in the process help strengthen our community. Not only that, but trans young people give me hope, probably more than just about anything else in my life at the moment. I know it can be intimidating to approach them, but in my experience they are always gracious when I do.   Please don't give up Ivy. You are an inspiration. We have lost too many trans elders already.   Sending love from across the seas.

      "Why not F-35's or tanks?"  He sounds like Biden...when did that happen?  What he says sarcastically I'd love to see literally.  Pretty sure my GF would have a tank in our yard if she could find one.  🤣    Honest pro-2nd Amendment folks should be happy for anybody to have weapons for self-defense, and revolt against government oppression.  Tucker is sounding like the old-fashioned Southern Democrats post-Civil War.  As in, the "Army-Navy laws."  Gun control's origin is totalitarian and racist.  After the war, states that were uncomfortable with minorities passed laws prohibiting the sale of guns not of "Army or Navy type."  At the time, those were prohibitively expensive for folks without much money, effectively putting the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms out of the reach of most freedmen.  That's just one example of regulation.  Here's others: https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/media/29093/the-racist-origins-of-us-gun-control.pdf   We've overcome that kind of discrimination, but it takes work in every generation to prevent totalitarian regulations.  Nothing pleases me more than to see women, trans folks, minority folks, and recent immigrants lining up at the gun shop, attending shooting competitions, and enlisting in the military/law enforcement/local defense.  Exercising your 2nd Amendment rights is like lifting your fist to oppressors, racists, thugs, and degenerates in high places, declaring solidarity with the downtrodden and disadvantaged.      Guns for me but not for thee?  Disgusting and un-American.  Tucker's effigy should be dressed up like King George III.

      https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-gun-tucker-carlson-pumps-brakes-on-armed-transgender-people     Not the first time I've seen staunch 2nd Amendment types tying themselves in knots when groups they don't like; Blacks, Gays and Trans, for example, want to take advantage of the same 2nd Amendment rights as everyone else.  I guess he sees no reason why trans folk should "panic" over violence aimed at them.    Carolyn Marie
