New Friends

[brightlotusmoon]

Hallo, new friends. I've been friended by a bunch of people in the past couple of weeks. Could those new friends step forward and comment on how they found me, why they friended me, and if we'd met in another online media or forum? Because, you know, memory problems. If we met on Facebook, can you tell me your name, or at least part of your Facebook name? Cool.

I call myself genderfree, it could also be called agender as I am pretty sure that is the same thing but I don't like the word because it doesn't have the right connotation for me. As far as sex, I experience myself as intersex but do not plan to have surgery. I don't think it is weird to reject gender but identify with your birth sex, 'cause I know many people for whom that is true. Yes, I am okay with other people having genders, that's their business, and I will respect trans people's pronouns.

I am a gender abolitionist in the sense that I feel a perfect world wouldn't have gender, and I feel that really, there are more genders than there are human beings so finding a word that fits more than one person seems counterproductive. But I also understand that gender, and group identity, is very real in the world we are in now, and I do not desire to push anyone to give up gender (however, gendered expectations I super do push people to give up).
