Well, that is true. But Carlos is also trans*MTFTM, dolphin otherkin, with Loki and Barack Obama headmates.

But Carlos is also trans*MTFTM

I am now horribly awaiting the day someone on tumblr claims this as a valid identity.

fucking hell

Maybe that's what I am then. I thought I was a cis female with non-stereotypical interests and presentation, but no, I think I can lay claim to this label!!

Okay, so maybe there are some people for whom this works. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I think there's some snowflaking going on too.

There are actually some people who I've heard of who are detransitioning. I'm not sure if they'd identify themselves as, say, MTFTM so much as just straight up male, but I've seen the accronym used (with brackets around the TM).

[insanenoodlyguy]

in other words... folks that realized they made a mistake and were never actually trans? Cause it sounds like "look i'm still a snowflake" to me.

[poisonenvy]

Yep, pretty much. I actually find it really frustrating because I find lately a whole lot of people are like "Omg, I'm not stereotypically male/female, I must be trans*/Genderqueer/genderfluid" without sitting back and thinking about just how sexist it is for people to go "Lol, I don't like shoes/make-up/shopping so I must not be a woman"/"I don't like sports/cars so I must not be a man."

I realize a lot of people who identify as the above don't believe that sort of thing, but I've definitely had genderqueer friends be like "I got a new computer! Now I know how women feel about shoes" and I stare at them like "Uhm, I own like, three pairs of shoes. Including my winter shoes."

...shit. I have many feelings about this. Given my own relationship with my body and gender.

[poisonenvy]

I don't mean to offend anyone. =) I totally get that a lot of trans*/non-binary people actually are, truly, trans*/non-binary. For some people it just feels akin to someone being "Omg, I think Angelina Jolie/Johnny Depp is attractive, I must totally be a lesbian/gay."

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I was agreeing you. I've struggled with wondering if I'm non-binary for ages, comparing myself to non-cis friends. But the other objection I've had is that I think I might be gender essentialising myself, and that's what I'm leaning towards atm (while feeling conflicted), and it's just... depressing reading about genderqueer-identifying people saying ridiculous shit like that.

I'm NOT thinking this is all genderqueer people - but I have the suspicion that for some tumblr types, if they received even a tenth of the shit that some genderqueer people receive IRL in less supportive close-knit-inner-city-or-online-community environments, they might not be so keen on the identity.
