I think people can ID (or they can ID characters, whatever) in any way they please and that's cool; I'm not the identity police.

But...I also don't understand all the labeling, because it just seems so irrelevant to me. Sometimes I wear men's clothes/shoes because they are dapper or natty or they're Americana workwear, which I love, sometimes I wear dresses that are cute, I've had sex with men and a few women, but I just don't feel a desire to proclaim any sort of gender status or orientation publicly, like, at all. If people want to try to assign some sort of label to me, I'm like a.) why?? and b.) wow, reductive.

Just don't get why people feel the need to announce this. Or make a list of their disabilities or neurospicy diagnoses on their Bluesky profiles or anything. I dunno, I just find it pointless and kind of odd.

Maybe I'm destined to be a hermit or something, because I don't really think building community based on labels adds anything to one's life experiences.

You don't have to understand the labeling, but understanding why it's not about clothes at least is incredibly simple because people have explained it over and over, and you don't need to understand the rest to understand that some of us get dysphoria from always being treated as our assigned birth gender and equally get dysphoria from the idea of being the opposite gender. My anxiety attacks about it happen whether you understand my label or not. I'm jealous that you can just not care, but I also get the feeling most "I'm too cool for labels cuz I don't care" cis people would start to care a lot if being misgendered was the rule and not the exception, and if almost nobody believed you when you told them they HAD misgendered you.

I have been depressed since I got my period because I'm enby. But I dress feminine, right? Well... The depression is because I'm dysphoric. Clothing doesn't mean gender. I want to wear dresses but I'm not a woman. I just find those comfortable to wear. And knowing others with my same gender exists means I don't feel isolated and insane when the TERFs and transphobes scream at me.

A lot of women get depressed when they get their period. Because it often sucks and hormones.

(Anonymous) 2025-09-09 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No. As in consistently depressed, not just because I'm on my period. I experience intense gender dysphoria over my breasts and vagina. Is that clear enough for you?

Then you should probably have been seeing a psychiatrist for a while.

Which is also fairly common for girls going through puberty and should be addressed properly.

I think they're saying they've been depressed since their very FIRST period because it caused sex characteristics to be more obvious.
