::: spoiler spoiler Sometimes I doubt myself, but then I remember that when I was at an org meeting a while back and one of my comrades took out her estro tablets, my mouth kinda watered a bit, and then I think about going back to my old name and I'm like actually no I prefer the new one :::

no

::: spoiler spoiler is this some kind of honeypot to ban all cis people? because i support it if so :::

No

but a fan of the emotes

No, but vaxxed

no more half measures walter

I am the most cis het middle aged white man you will ever meet.

Still have nothing but love and respect for my Trans Comrades.

::: spoiler yes i havent made any effort to transition due to cowardice but I'm like 95% sure :::

Maybe? Would have said No a year ago, but I chopped all my hair off last spring and have been wearing less feminine clothes and have been wondering lately if my decades of super-femme presentation was another form of masking.

Idk, this question has come at a time that I'm questioning myself.

Maybe

Agender - ive chatted with some users here and they have said it falls under that umbrella, but not something i think deep about often. :::

No, but I've received a ton of vaccines and eat a ton of tofu.

No I'm a cissy

Yes

::: spoiler spoiler Nice try :::

No but yes but maybe?

I'm intersex, but don't ID as trans.

Yes

::: spoiler spoiler I'm nonbinary. Communism will win, death to Israel, death to America inshallah. :::

yes

::: spoiler spoiler but still very new at this :::

No, I'm here to listen.

::: spoiler i would say no I've been thinking about this some recently after doing some reading... and more and more I'm recognizing that the enforced gender binary is bullshit and bad for us, all of us. Like @Infamousblt@hexbear.net I've benefitted from many privileges being a cishet man and think basic male culture is especially bad and would like to distance myself from it when I can. But I don't really feel like I issues with my body. I've wanted to paint my nails and think that kilts should make a comeback. But I never thought of that of anything other than a different sense of style. Given all of that it really feels like I'd be stealing trans valor if I were to go "I'm gonna present like a normie cis dude but declare myself nonbinary for political reasons." I was going to make a post about this at some point so thank you for the opportunity. I accept being a part of the cis-purge if that's the plan lmao

Either way :::

Maybe

::: spoiler spoiler Every time I look at https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ or w/e I get too spooked and then just try to shove all the thoughts into a dusty corner of my brain. Definitely normal cis behavior, nothing to see here :::

Yes

::: spoiler spoiler :::

yes ::: spoiler spoiler whew! finally finished upbearing everyone who said maybe or yes. :::

yes

maybe

::: spoiler Yes! I began transing my gender almost a decade ago & I think anyone who's interested should give it a try! Maybe do not start by just "going fulltime" in highschool and yelling at anyone who refers to you incorrectly, though, lmao.

I'm hoping for over 50% non-cis responses tbh, I think we can do it. The bear website is beautiful, I just know it.

Edit: I sometimes wonder about the site culture being overwhelmingly transfem, so I am pleased to see many more transmasc commenters here than I expected. :::

Yes, closeted enby, no idea what to do about it

Maybe? ::: spoiler spoiler I look cis and present cis and get all of the privilege of being cis most of the time but I think "man" is meh and I don't like it for myself really because most of the time other men are not anything like who I want to be or see myself as. If all the other men in the world were more like me and less like how they are I'd be totally cool with man. But since they kinda suck and I kinda don't want to suck I don't feel like a man. I don't see much of myself in most other men. Also if someone refers to me as a gender other than man or uses pronouns other than he/him I feel totally fine with it and kinda like it sometimes. Love being counted as one of the theys when all my theys count me as one of them but I don't really feel like a they that often either. So I dunno. I'm still trying to figure it out but have been for years and haven't figured it out yet.

So count that as you will. A weak maybe by some pretty loose definitions of trans but if that's not maybe enough I won't be hurt at all if you're like "oh one of those dudes" and mark me down as cis. :::

Nonbinary gender identities

If you’re trying to get a handle on what it means to be nonbinary, you’re going to have to get comfortable in gray space: There are no specific, hard-and-fast rules about nonbinary identities or “what it means” to be nonbinary.

Maybe?

yes

yes

No. I have really thought about it because i frequent a lot of leftist and therefore trans spaces. I am 100% cis in so far as gender exists.

Yes

::: spoiler spoiler :::

yes

::: spoiler Yes Kinda late (started transitioning at 29 lol) but I got there!

And it could happen to youuuu! :::

yes

::: spoiler spoiler down with cis :::

Yes, I think/hope

::: spoiler Maybe. I kind of consider myself as not having a gender, but also I don't typically identify with people who typically identify as 'agender' so go figure.

::: spoiler Also it's really hard to figure out how spoilers work. Something about three colons, then the word spoiler, then newlines? I still don't get it. Include a tutorial :(

I've been mulling it over and I'm experimenting with peripherally fem stuff (longer, bigger hair, earrings, women's blouses/shirts, might fuck around with dresses this summer) but also I'm trying to increase my strength and muscle size and become a himbo and all of those things seem gender affirming and self affirming.

I'm aware that many of the above things aren't necessarily strongly gendered (women can build muscle, men can have long hair, etc etc). But it's been kinda freeing to make the jump to some women's cut garments.

Yes

I don't think so, unless gender apathetic is a thing

No.

::: spoiler spoiler

Maybe a little bit at times but not really. I feel fine about being a cis man but I also feel that if I had a magic button that would turn me into a woman for a couple of hours I would press it once in a while, just to get some of that experience as well.

I feel that some of it is due to all the things that sucks about patriarchal gender roles. A break from some of the bullshit that is part of masculinity could be nice. I know women have their own bullshit as well but at least it would be different bullshit.

:::

yes

::: spoiler Title Hell yeah 😎 :::

Double yes

Yes

::: spoiler spoiler Gender diverse :::

Yes

no, sorry

Maybe?

:::spoiler details

Assigned and socialized male, never had huge problems with it but I did get frustrated with all pressures to perform any kind of masculinity. By my early 20s, probably the majority of my physical and social characteristics are gender-ambiguous. To this day I like it that way, I see myself as "somewhere in-between", and I get euphoria when young children ask me the "are you a boy or a girl" question. The first time I voiced any preference for eh/em pronouns was like 7 years ago, but I don't make a big deal of it. I don't think I really understand gender in myself and most of my experience of it is an experience of exclusion. I do understand gender in others and am attracted to femmes and enbies. My queer friends all say I'm queer-coded, but I doubt that this fits, or maybe I'm a self-deprecating enby.

I just don't want anybody to be boxed into a category that they didn't want to be in. :::

No, 100% satisfied with factory settings.

maybe

Yes

No

::: spoiler spoiler I guess I say no here. I present masc, and definitely lean that way, but I've come to realize that a lot more people are gender fluid than think they are, myself included. It's all kind of silly how we get drilled into our heads what we are supposed to be and how we're supposed to act, when we are all our own unique individuals. :::

Yes

Yes

No

::: spoiler More info I have asked myself this question many times, and the answer is still no. Probably the most gender diverse thing I have done is have an anime girl pfp, but on the other hand that's a very cis thing to do too. :::

Yes Yes

I'm voting yes twice to cancel out somebody saying no

yes

Yes

Yes

It's in the name.

No

::: spoiler ish?

Sometimes I want both parts like I have both "in me". I feel more happy when I don't have to put on the mask of being "man". I'm more happy being womanly. Fantazise, but I'm ok with being a male save balding, stupid facial hair that I have to manage constantly and circumcised. I think circumcision took something from me. I wish I could have sensitivity in my nipples.

I've always said to my family I'm "half woman" kind of as a quip to excuse my femine side, but I identify more male.

I don't know if that's eggish or fluid or what not, but it isn't like I have dysmorphia about insisting on being a woman. I didn't have those issues through puberty with my gender. AFIK I'm cis gay male.

No. But a very soft no because I think I'd like being a woman just as well but pretty sure It's not reflective of gender that I present or feel? But no accounting at the moment should count me as gender diverse lol

No

No

::: spoiler spoiler I'm living as a cis guy, so ig I'm not, but I've been toying with the idea. I don't necessarily want to be seen as a guy and if I could press a button to be born different, I'd definitely give it a long think. But a maybe seems like it'd be giving me too much credit. :::

Yes

I may be genderqueer.

I am Autistic and probably autigender.

I have been questioning lately.

Yes

Maybe, but little enough to probably say no.

I'm ostensibly straight and cis, and looking at my life you'd mostly assume that.

I have never felt super masculine, but that could be caught up with anxiety/ASD/ADHD shit. I've never felt like I belonged, so it's kind of hard to assess.

Yes

maybe

::: spoiler spoiler I pondered this heavily when I was introduced to TF media in my late 20s and early 30s. Came out with the decision that I'm a mildly gender nonconforming cis man. I don't feel any gender very strongly, but I don't know if that's just because masculinity is 'unmarked' in the culture I live in. :::

yes

no

::: spoiler spoiler More like “probably not” or “not exactly”. I don’t really like the word “man” for myself. “Boy” is nice for some reason. I think I have some “Peter Pan syndrome” thing. I really would rather be a kid and am kind of depressed that I just can’t anymore. But all of that feels adjacent to the things I’ve seen trans and nb people say about their gender.

I read about an NB person who wanted to stay on puberty blockers indefinitely, and honestly I think I would have liked that. Maybe like a couple years after puberty started though.

I’ve seen terms like “demiboy” and I think “yeah maybe, but not exactly”. Femboy isn’t really a gender but I’d love to be one.

But regardless of all that, I still consider myself a cis male, because “boy” is just a type of male anyway.

Gender non-conforming is a good general label IMO that I kind of want to be but don’t really feel like I’m pulling off right now (not that I’ve tried all that much). I much prefer not having a beard, but shaving is so much work and I don’t have much experience. :::
