Sorry to post on an old-ish thread but I just wanted to chime in and say how great this discussion has been. (I've actually been impressed with how welcome Neopets spaces are in general to different genders identities.) My gender is complicated, so I appreciate it. (BTW, on Neopets some people have their gender as "Robot," they should make that a standard option!)
For the longest time my mom didn't understand gender identity or preferences. She said "You're either a boy or a girl" and said something about how you're either gay or not gay.
I've been trying to tell her that I'm gender neutral and bisexual for a very long time and well, I finally did and she finally acted like a civil human being about it.
While I am still comfortable in a female body even though I lack a body shape I still lean towards having a more masculine mentality, personality and get along very well with guys. I've always idolized males rather than females and one time at school they wanted me to do a timeline of famous females in history when I really wasn't comfortable with doing one of females and wanted to do famous men in history.
I am worried though, that jobs won't hire me all because I identify with males better than females, but they don't have to know.
It took a lot for me to finally come out because I was very fearful of how my friends and mom would react to this.
squishyslug got a reaction from lizzyjane101 in Gender Identity!
squishyslug reacted to Naamah D. in Yay for finally telling!
