[imnotokayipromise]

so i've, because i was assigned female at birth, always considered myself a girl. and i've always been a little uncomfortable calling myself a girl, but never enough to identify as a male. i just.. felt like a girl but not completely? [and this was long before i knew nonbinary genders even existed, like at age 6]

recently in particular, i've been feeling more and more uncomfortable identifying fully as a girl. and during the past few years it's been really difficult and i've spent so long trying to find a gender that fits how i feel. and i finally did - demigirl.

basically it means i identify as a girl, but not completely. [if you google it, the first result is a really good definition of it. better than mine haha] and reading the definition i actually started crying, because i finally know who i am. i don't have to spend hours at night questioning my gender. i.. i know it now.

so, yeah. i'm just really happy. [also, she/her pronouns please]

This is really good news!

And thanks for letting us know! (I had never heard of demigirl before.)

That's great!

Sounds like you're in a great place, imnotokayipromise! It's wonderful to be able to put what you know to be true on the inside, into words you can then use to communicate with the world at large.

Somewhere in this forum, I have a post I wrote titled: The Vocabulary of Transsexuality. In this post I wrote about my own struggles with not having that vocabulary & how wonderful it was to finally find it.

Congrat's!

Reminds me of demiglace, which is very tasty! So i googled it, and found some good and not so good words. I like aliagender, which is like alien? Cuz the whole concept of gender is alien to me. My parents pretty much switched roles when i was growing up, but they were weird and defensive about it. Bigender sounds like large butt, not that theres anything wrong with that! Its just a little too accurate in my case! I need a word that says i just dont care. Apathetic. Apathetexual. Apathexual. But thats sexuality not gender. Andrapath? Sounds a little crazy. Help!

This has a bad connotation for me cuz of when people used to say the gays had an agender.

That seems like a long time ago now.

Thank you for this post! I looked it up and found this list:
Gender Queeries

I am still not sure which term I would fall into... but this is good thinking stuff!

But I am probably agender.
