Genderfluidity

 Over the years, my gender identity has shifted many times. I knew initially that I was genderfluid, but tried very hard to be a binary trans woman, along with various other non-binary identities until I came to the conclusion of being a genderfluid hypertwink and otherkin (a partially nonhuman entity). 

I consider myself a girl, a boy, technogender, and aliencatgender. The latter two can fall under Xenogenders or agender. The reason I call myself a girl and a boy is because I'm uncomfortable with woman or man due to developmental delays caused by trauma that have put me in a near permanent state of regression. I am also a hypertwink and try to take twink aesthetic to its fullest reaches in my presentation, and I am on hormone replacement therapy primarily to preserve my youth, my hair, and make me more twink-like and androgynous. The only gender affirming procedures I find necessary for myself is further laser hair removal.

I would also like to describe how my genderfluidity manifests, as it is not clear-cut. I often experience these genders fluctuating and mixing at the same time throughout everyday life. This used to make me feel bad when I was trying hard to be binary trans, but I have learned to accept it as who I really am, and there's no such thing as one person being "more trans" than another.

Simply put, my gender fluctuates throughout the day, and you could even consider my identity a multiflux type of genderflux, but that is under the genderfluid umbrella, and it's easier for me to identify with the larger umbrella of genderfluidity. It also leaves room to continue to add gender identities and expressions to my repertoire as I see fit. You can also call my presentation genderqueer, and I also fall under the non-binary and trans umbrellas, which are much larger and cover more ground. 

Furthermore, I would like to list my pronouns in order of preference: they/them/their; ze/zim/zir; s/he /hir/hirs; she/her/hers; and xe/xem/xyrs.

 Please do not refer to me as he/him/his at this time, despite my earlier statements. I am not cis and never will be. If I decide later that I am fine with it, I will inform the public, but please respect my boundaries for now.

Mirror-touch Synesthesia & the "Empath"

 I personally do not like or adhere to the term "empath," but I believe I have figured out the explanation for this phenomenon, which I do experience. It's specifically called mirror-touch synesthesia, and is also related to mirror-pain synesthesia and mirror-emotion synesthesia, which I spoke of at an earlier time. Studies show that mirror-touch synesthetes experience heightened levels of empathy because, in addition to feeling at least an echo of another person's pain, many of us also feel their emotions as if they were our own. This sounds an awful lot like the horrific pop psychology term, "empath," but most people attribute it to a supernatural phenomenon if they're not lying about it, rather than a Neurodivergence. It's a lesser known type of synesthesia, but I experience mirror-touch, as well as more "traditional" types of synesthesia where many of my senses blend together. I was actually misdiagnosed with schizoaffective because I d...

Trauma Response on the Poet's Stage

 Last night I attended an event locally entitled Poetry Speaks, and it was a celebration of the life of the late Bill Sovern. I have known him since I was 15, and he gave me a stage to read poetry at a young age. The last performance of his that I attended when he was alive was over a decade ago, long before I started transitioning, and he made a comment about Jack Kerouac (likely in relation to my poetry style), and I took offense to it, although I should have taken it as a compliment since I was a voracious reader of the Beats and fashioned my early poetry after them, especially Kerouac. So, that was the last time I performed while he was still alive, but I had planned to start going to more poetry events since the publishing of my book, Cracked Around the Edges, and he tragically passed in a car wreck before I had a chance to read any of it to him. Well, going to Poetry Speaks last night was surreal. It was the loudest and most emotional poetry reading I have ever attended durin...
