Like ā€œsparkly cisā€ (my own term?) or something like that? At first, I started using the pronouns he/him. Then, when I realized that I actually don’t identify as a man and that it didn’t feel right, I started switching to they/them, as I felt like neither a man nor a woman and didn’t feel strongly about gender either way.

Well, I’m fully aware that what’s in one’s pants is NOT equivalent to their gender, but the thing is: I don’t really want a penis. I don’t want both. I really want neither, maybe just a hole, but the vagina I have is fine to me because it’s not a penis.

I’m AFAB and identify with feminine terms and neutral terms, like the pronouns she/they. If I’m dating someone, I want to be referred to as ā€œpartnerā€ or ā€œgirlfriendā€ but not ā€œboyfriendā€. Not ā€œmanā€, ā€œdudeā€, or ā€œbroā€, though I also see those as gender-neutral, so I’m more okay with those than ā€œboyfriendā€.

ā€œHomieā€ or ā€œfriendā€ is my favorite, though. I don’t even mind just ā€œpersonā€, but I prefer homie or friend like I said.

I feel impostor syndrome or whatever though and it feels like I’m just a cis woman with extra steps or ā€œspicy/sparkly cisā€.
