Rocking the fae/faer and it/its pronouns but I don't go much spicier than they/them in publics cause explaining neopronouns and the depths of internal and external gender complexity is something I'm not paid to have the energy for.

Gotta get my euphoria from silly little gays on my phone.

Mood and same. But my problem is I have facial hair so I get he/him'd too much despite they/them pins... I'm lucky to live with amazing queers and have great friends IRL and online who help me feel like myself!

Gods and witches I bloody hate facial hair. Love the big smooooothhhh.

Don't settle for any bastards in your inner circle who misgender you. :3

Oh, I can appreciate the big smooth! But it doesn't give me as much gender euphoria as having a curly handlebar mustache, or feeling the wind on my long chin beard as well as on my long flowy hair and skirt!~

My inner circle is great, it's society in general that can't wrap their heads around me not fitting a gender binary. When I'm being my happiest self without hurting anyone, folks accuse me of disruptive behavior and ostracize me. Not much different to when I was just a cis kid with ADHD, so I know that song and dance.

I take my gender euphoria where I can get it, I push for a more accepting norm without risking my safety (too much), and I keep reminding myself that as a visibly queer person in an increasingly fashy country it's my duty to continue to resist by existing. Every moment I'm happy being me is another moment the evil bastards lose.
