Detailed explanation
This section will be devided in 3 sections, one for gender, another for sexuality, and the last one for other labels.
Gender
Trans / transsexual :
I am trans, but specefically transsexual. Medically transitioning and the desire to alter my sex is an important part of my gender and identity to me.
Genderfuck :
Genderfuck is an important label to me. My gender will never be something I can quite pass as, an "fucking with gender" is the closest I'll ever get to be autenthic.
I want to present, and often do, as both masculine and feminine, at the same time.I also reject the concept of gender and gender roles as we know them. Identifying as genderfuck prioritize and center this rejection in my identity.
__ Girlboy / Boygirl :__
My gender is paradoxal in a way. My gender doesn't exist as one fixed and simple thing, but rather simultaneously one thing and its polar opposite. I am a girlboy because by being a boy, I am simultaneously a girl, and by being a girl I am simultaneously a boy. If I am "genderless" then I am simultaneously pangender. Etc.
I also am "cusper" between trans man and cis gender woman, which is also a big part of why I idnetify so much with the term girlboy.
Genderqueer :
I am not non binary, but I am genderqueer. Just like how I am queer in a reclaiming the "queer" identity, I am genderqueer in a "reclaiming" way. My gender is queer in the old fashion "queer" way. Similar as to how my gender doesn't relate easily to human concepts, my identity as either man or woman doesn't quite fit into peoples perception of manhood or womanhood. My gender is, regardless of the label I put on it, queer.
Butch :
I am a butch lesbian, and butch is an important part of my gender. So important that it can often be reduce to "simply" butch lesboy, but I still can and like to describe it more precisely and use other terms as well.
Lesboy / Boydyke :
I am both a lesboy and a boydyke.
A lesboy is an umbrella term, but I use it for many reason. Mainly because of the intersection of my idnetity between man/manhood and being a lesbian. As explained sooner, I am a girlboy, and I am cusper between butch woman and trans man, and lesbian is also a BIG part of my idnetity.
Boydyke is an historical identity which I like to use. I take a lot of pride in that identity which is why I prefer it to the term lesboy. I know it is "controversial", but I do not care, I'll keep that pride and won't let others percerception of me teint it, and I do hope for all of you to reach that level of confidence in your own identity.
Aliengender :
Aliengender is a xenogender defined by having a "non-human" gender/interpretation of gender. I have always had trouble understanding or relating to the concept of gender and it often feel as tho I cannot relate to it in the way that is seen as/is human. My gender is more complexe than the usual understanding people have of "man", "woman" or "non binary", and so its easier to relate to an almost non human experience with gender than a human one.
Birdgender :
Birdgender is a xenogender that relate to birds in some way. Personally I use it because my gender relate to birds in many ways. As I said I have always had issue relating my own gender and understanding of gender to human concepts such as femininity and masculinity or boy and girl, but birds do succesfully express partially what my gender is/feels like.
Crowgender :
Crowgender is a xenogender relating to crows, it can be seen as a subset of birdgender. My gender is well described by crows, way more than by any usual gender concept.
Sexuality
Queer :
Queer is quite an important part of my identity. Reclaiming the slurs that were used to hurt me has been a very important part in my journey of healing and accepting my queerness. I am not just queer, I am "a queer".
This identity make me feel so powerful and confident in myself, which is why even tho I use other label, I will never not identify as queer.
__ (Queer) Bi-lesbian : __
I may be a lesbian, but I have never been "mono-spec".
I have been attracted to multiple genders, including woman and other genderqueer identities.
Some may say it make me bisexual, other may say it make me just lesbian, but I'd argue that it make me whoever I say I am, and what I say I am is a queer bi-lesbian.
I am also using older definitions of terms.
I do not use the nmlnm definition, as it is both dysphoric for me to use it and feels inacurate and not the best way to define my identity as a lesbian.
Lesbian :
My attraction to woman is queer, even if I am "partially man" as other people like to explain it, my attraction is still the one of a woman.
I have always been a lesbian, being a lesbian is a big part of my gender, and my experiences in how I navigate my qieerness is the one of a lesbian.
Even if I don't feel romantic or sexual attraction, I still feel attraction to women and many genderqueer people, and so define my identity with that attraction I feel.
Bi / bisexual :
The bisexual identity is still quite important to me.
Aside from how long I spent identifying as bisexual, my attraction being m-spec is important to me.
As someone who identifies outside the binary, with a gender who is different than man or woman, I wouldn't date someone who is mono-spec. It would be extremely dysphoric, and I do respect the fact that some of the people I am attracted to are a different gender than woman, making me m-spec, but bi is truly the only label that explain that attraction to many genders, and when mixing it with the lesbian label it accurately describe my identity.
Aromantic :
I am aromantic, meaning I do not feel any romantic attraction. While it took me much longer for me to figure this out than any other part of my identity, including asexuality, it plays a much more important part in my life than most other parts of my identity.
While I am aroace, and do identify with the aromantic label on its own, I don't feel the same connection to the asexual label.
My aromanticism plays such a huge part in dating and my romantic life, and that's part of why I feel so connected to that label.
Oriented aroace :
While yes, I am aroace, and do not feel any romantic or sexual attraction, there are still other things that impact my identity and attraction I may feel.
Personally, aesthetic and queerplatonic attraction are important parts of my identity.
Those type of attraction are how I define my identity, as a queer lesbian.
