    I knew I was agender because I never felt fully any gender and liked acting male and female. Like I wore boys shirts because they were in the boys section and wore skirts because I liked how they looked. I played with boys and girls and generally feel happiest in a mixed gender group of friends. I find being called a girl uncomfortable but being called she/her completely fine, as well as they/them or he/him. I feel more comfortable ticking the male box than the female.

      You gender identity (being agender) and your gender expression (being feminine) don't have to be a perfect match. You are valid no matter what and if you don't think you're a girl and you might be agender, no one can tell you that but you! 💚

    When you call certain things "girly", it's offensive to me. I'm not a girl, but I like some of the stuff you called "girly". I don't suddenly turn into a girl as soon as I put on a skirt! I'm still Agender, and slapping a gender on stuff is like an invalidation of my identity, and it reinforces binary gender stereotypes. I believe that dresses, make-up, heels, long hair etc. are for anyone who likes them, regardless of gender. A person's outward appearance is not always reflective of their gender, or lack of gender.

    Hey, would love some advice. I have been struggling with my gender and need some advice. I was born female and whatever I identify with i would present fairly fem. I prefer jumpsuits and trousers but will wear a dress in a few instances. I dont feel connected to any gender and any pronoun feels the same for me. I think I might be agender/librafeminine but would like to hear what anyone thinks from what I said. Thanks

    I was always very tomboyish and thought I was non binary since I knew I wasn’t a girl but also not a boy, so I thought the only other option was non binary. I’ve never cared for any gender and especially pronouns, I hated it. Like whenever I thought of my gender and pronouns, It felt so empty, like a void (idk how to explain it). Then I came across agender and EVERYTHING clicked.
    I use any pronouns cause I just really don’t care but using my name just feels so much better!
    Also It’s really funny coz when I heard people feeling euphoric when others use their pronouns I didn’t get it AT ALL. Coz I thought I uses they/them since I ‘was’ non binary and i never got any euphoric feelings. But now when ppl use my name instead of she they or him, it feels AMAZING!! Totally feel the euphoric feeling now lol

    Hello! So.... I started questioning my gender about two months ago... I narrowed it down to either genderfluid or agender fairly quickly (although for a few weeks I've been considering that I am a trans man. I don't dislike my body, but I prefer that I'd been born with a male body.)
    While I do feel more inclined to male or female on different days, most of the time I feel like neither (although I am definitely NOT a cis-female). But if I had to describe my overall personality, behaviour, thought and emotional patterns I'd say I'm a little bit of both.
    Is genderfluid fluctuating between male and female? Or can they feel male or female or both or neither, as I do?

    • @HeyItsMoog
      @HeyItsMoog  9 років тому +5

      +Cleo Green genderfluid is fluctuating between genders. any genders. you can also be demi(gender). for example, demiboy: you sometimes feel as if youre a boy, in fact most of the time you do but other times you dont and that fluctuates. there's also pangender, bigender, trigender, polygender, and thousands more. if you feel somewhere in between male and female you might be neutrois if you feel no gender you might be agender

    hello, i saw this video because i was curious about how other agenders transitioned. i am agender myself but i have not started any transitioning for my body, mostly because i have a thyroid problem and i've just been scared as to what would happen if i did use hormones to physically transition. i have thought about ordering a binder but i'm also scared of how my mother would react to me ordering and wearing a binder. i did a coming out post on face book for my family to see, but i dont know if shes seen it and ignored it or she just never saw it. all in all i'm scared about how she would react most of all

  • @littlefish9825
    @littlefish9825 3 роки тому +1

    Is it agender to just be indifferent? I already don’t follow nearly any gender norms I can think of. As such my life feels like it would be the same regardless of gender. I try to talk about myself in the 3rd person with varying pronouns, but I’m having less reaction to any of ‘em than I would expect. I don’t necessarily *dislike* being a cis boy, but I want being cis to be a complete coincidence, a big coincidence that my gender matches my sex. Tryn’a explore my gender, but the more I think about it, the dumber the whole thing is. Why have any expectations of a person bases on whether it looks like they like blue or pink? It’s dumb. I honestly don’t care what pronouns someone calls me. I don’t see a major difference in my life if I am a girl or whatever. Is that was being agender is? I don’t really feel like I know what being a boy is, because I can’t see what would change if I wasn’t. I feel like me, and I’ve been called “he” for my entire life, so do I really need to go further than that? Idk.

    I just realized I was afab agender a couple of weeks ago. I'm still figuring out what that all means for me and what I want to do about it. I'm considering a low dosage of T hormones because I'd like to have the option of sideburns and facial hair and a slightly lower voice. But I have an afab gender fluid friend who's doing that and one side effect was that their hair started falling out with male pattern baldness stuff and now they have to keep it shaved and wear wigs. I'm worried about that happening so I'm not sure what I should do. Do you have more info or advice about hormone pros/cons for afab agender people?

    I'm really confused tho. I don't mean to sound ignorant at all, because I don't totally understand it all. But why are you undergoing the transition process to be more male-like if you don't identify as totally male, but you're trying to seem more masculine.

But then again I'm perfectly comfortable with typically 'male' stuff just like the female stuff. But also they/them and all that. And I don't feel gender? if that makes sense, like I don't know what feels like let alone describe it?

    I nearly cried so many times. I am also a person who kind of use drops hints. I told my best friend on snapchat (cause in person shit.. nahhh) and she told me that I didn’t need to know and I was fine to question (cause I told her I thought I could be agender but I wasn’t sure) but we haven’t really talked about it. One of their person knows but he is a online friend. I was afab and I think I am quite lucky to have a deep voice. I have a deeper voice then many amab people Ik so that isn’t a problem for me. I also stopped wearing earring after like a year because I didn’t like wearing them (probably because they made me look very feminine) and this was years before I found the agender label. I don’t like having long hair and I want to cut it but because my parents don’t know I am agender I am too scared to ask. I don’t know If they will react well. I only found the agender label like a month ago (I also found the asexual and aromantic label that fits me) but I was always labelled as a tomboy. I always was confused when people said “female do/don’t do this” or “males do/don’t do this”. I don’t like feminine clothing. I wear a skirt to school (didnt in primary but did in highschool to avoid bullies and never changed back). I have recently been wanting to change back to wearing trousers but I only have a couple months left of having to wear uniform so I’ll just deal with it. I was bullied in primary and part of me thinks that my identities (agender and aroace) may be a part of why I felt and was perceived as being so different and that really sucks. Maybe that is why I don’t want to come out in general.

    • @HeyItsMoog

      Hi Charli
      This video was posted about seven years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I relate to what you said, I have always had an issue with femininity and I never quite understood the expression I wanted to have, and there really wasn’t words for it when I came out all these years ago.
      Not everyone in my family was accepting. Most people tolerate it. Few understand. Actually, I would say to this day, I feel more like an inconvenience to my family being non-binary than if I was just a trans guy because of the language that’s used.
      My mom came around, she helped me get on hormones. She thought the hormones changed my personality and tried to take me off them. I got kicked out over it. Her and I are really close now. She has been calling me “he” and her “son” behind my back and I have repeatedly asked her to stop doing that but she continues to slip up and I know she hasn’t stopped.
      My dad died thinking I picked being transgender, but I wasn’t particularly close to him.
      All this in mind? I wouldn’t change a god damn thing. Being trans is such a back burner part of my life now, I don’t really think about it much. I apply my hormones, I live my life, I finished all my surgeries. I’m relatively happy. My best friends and closest circle are all queer, most people I know now are non binary.
      In every aspect of life there will be ups and downs. We will never be able to control how other people respond to us but we can control how we react and let that affect us. It gets easier with time, as do most things. And ultimately the comfort of being truly you will outweigh anything else that may come your way.
      It’s simply a piece of who I am, but it’s not what makes me me.
      Right now, in this discovery period, it takes up every bit of your thoughts and actions and that’s normal. But I promise some day it will not hold the same weight.
      Keep pushing forward, we only have one life here, we deserve to live it authentically.

    Hi Moog I have a question, wondering if you could help me understand. With all this business of gender I hear people say "I identify as..." I don't actually know what that means. You identify as no gender but what does it mean to identify as a gender in the first place?
    Like, I know I'm a woman because of my biological sex so I don't understand where you're coming from. Just know that I am truly curious and wanting to understand and I mean absolutely no offense if I stepped on your toes. I think you're great for putting yourself out there like this and speaking candidly.
