It was like this at my middle school too (except I was one of the lesbians). Probably toxic masculinity culture or smth.

You say some days you feel masculine, some days you feel feminine, and other days you feel neither. Sounds like a textbook definition of gender fluidity to me. (In that what you feel your gender is different at different times) As for whatever it is you're talking about in the spoiler tags, I'm not about to tell you have to say it or anything, but if it's something you feel strongly about, and you really want to tell someone, it's probably a good idea. Maybe not on this thread if you don't feel comfortable about it, but maybe a PM to someone you trust?

Aww, thanks. I am a bit of a nerd about gender. They/them can be used for bigender people, agender people (I've never heard the term gender apathetic before, but it sounds kinda like agender, except without dysphoria.), gender-fluid people, systems, xenogendered people, and just about anyone non-binary who wants to. It should be noted that the term non-binary just refers to any gender identity that is not "Just male" or "Just female". And I also saw someone here was confused about their gender but called themselves "not trans", but I think you might be conflating the term "trans" with "binary trans". The former just means your gender identity is not the same as your gender assigned at birth, while the latter refers to when someone's gender identity is the "other" gender compared to what they were assigned at birth (Like yours truly). Non-binary people are trans, since they identify with something different then what they were assigned at birth. I don't want to assume anything, or tell you what your identity is, @shortcake, but from what you've said, this apagender label seems like it would fit you better than the genderfluid label. Again, please don't take what I'm saying as fact, even if I do know a lot about gender, you are the only one who really knows you. I'd still do some introspection, since you still seem unsure of things. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

I'd love this place to be more active, but idk what to talk about.

Glad that you could feel confident enough to post this here! There's absolutely nothing wrong with being aromantic while still being allosexual! (Allosexual is the word for someone who feels sexual attraction to others, opposite of asexual.) In fact, while no large studies have been done, the current evidence suggests that around 25-50% of aromantic people are still allosexual. Feel free to ask here if there's anything else about this you're worrying about!

Y'all have been congratulating me, and yet none of you have guessed yet. (Yes it's me)
-
Guess who just had her legal name/gender change go through! :3
-
*shrug* I see it I guess.
-
But he's a trans man (and unambiguously so). I was asking about the trans woman allegory.
-
Shallan was confirmed bisexual, and I will fight to my last breath explaining why Yumi is bi. Who is the trans allegory you were referring to though? Also WaT minor spoilers

Well, just so you know, gender-fluid people are considered non-binary, and I don't exactly know what you mean when you say you don't fit into either of those categories. Non-binary is just any gender identity that isn't just plan male or female. To me, that sounds genderfluid. My own transness manifested as a constant desire to be a girl, so while I'm not genderfluid myself, I imagine that sometimes longing to be a man could be a symptom of being genderfluid. Still, I can't say I know for sure. If I were you, I'd try to find someone you trust enough to talk about it. Well, if you're non-binary, you're still not necessarily straight, and you can think of a label that works best for you.
-
Oh that must've sucked. Glad you'll finally get to be yourself soon though. Also for research purposes, what was it like to realize you're gay? I know it's probably different for cis people, since when you learn it it's not tied directly to your gender identity.
-
OOF, must've sucked. I've temporarily sworn off romance, because I want to get comfortable in my own body before I get into a relationship. Hasn't stopped me from having romantic fantasies though.
-
Glad I could help. Though the whole situation does remind me of an embarrassing story. Back when I thought I was a guy and thought I was str*ight, I had a crush on this girl in late elementary/middle school. But eventually, I found out she was gay. So, I was naturally sad, but I moved on. But then, when I realized I was a girl, after all the shock was gone, I was like "Wait, so it could have worked out with her all along!1!1!2!!1!" (We go to different high schools now btw)
-
No, you've got the Wheel of Time
-
:3 maybe
-
Don't think there's anything you could/should do. I assume all girls are gay until proven otherwise, but usually they're not, so I think we're definitely biased. It's simply something that lots of us have to go through, and I'll agree, this does suck.
-
Hey y'all! Still socially awkward, but I have a question. Specifically for the trans people: How did you pick your name, if you have chosen a new name? For me, I first considered a fem version of my deadname, but I didn't like how it reminded me of my deadname, so I asked my friend for help. They gave me a bunch of suggestions, and one of them stood out to me, and so I picked it. (btw if anyone from the future is reading this, this question is always open to answers!)
-
That was the original plan, but than that "talking to them" seemed too hard to attempt. My autism also makes talking to people scary.
-
Helllooooooo I'm a 9th grader, and I saw this existed, so I decided to join! So, do any of you have any advice on how to make friends in high school? I was a really antisocial person for a while, and only now do I really care about making friends, but I have no idea how to do it.
-
And so we return after two months. So, an interesting side effect of not knowing I was a girl for 14+ years is that I didn't care at all about having friends back then, but now I do. However, I am so inexperienced that I have no idea how to do so. It sucks.
-
Well for me I knew I was gay as soon as I knew I was trans, so I can't exactly relate to questioning sexuality, but as I understand it, for cis people it varies from person to person, some realize very early in life, others learn very late.
-
Hehe thanks Things are somewhat complicated by the fact that I plan to not come out during the new student orientation. But I can probably handle it
-
I enter high school soon. Gonna be fun when everyone who "knew" me before sees me in full fem mode.
-
Oh come on, what about the guy Drehy is seeing, Dru, who shows up *checks notes* a whole three times.
