Description: A meme in two pictures and two text boxes.
The upper image shows an anime-style character, joyous and smiling, surrounded by twinkling stars. The text next to them says: “You realize you’re trans.”
The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: “You realize you’re trans.”
Bottom one is me when I realized I’m Isogender and that people will strugle to understand and recognize me. even in queer spaces 😔
Hey you’re not alone.
Although I won’t pretend to fully understand who you are, I’m not even sure I do my own self.
I had never heard of isogender, but kinda relate to.
I’m not trans, but I don’t feel cis either.
I have both masculine and feminine sides, although they’re not exactly clearly defined, it’s definitely there.
I don’t feel gender fluid either, in the sense that I’m always somewhat all over the place like this, which is something that doesn’t really change.
I guess isogender is not mutually exclusive with other labels, although I mostly dislike labeling myself, which feels arbitrarily restrictive.
I guess, in a way, maybe that makes me somewhat agender, in the sense that I feel like the concept of gender isn’t much relevant to who I am as a person, although it’s also not absent either.
I don’t really know how to describe this, but labeling myself always felt weird.
It’s like people expect me to fit on a horizontal male-female axis, but instead of being in a single spot I’m a Jackson Pollock painting stop-motioned mid-throw in zero-G.
I feel being isogender is reasonably. I have not heard of it before, but it seems like it’s just not decisively male or female, while still swinging more to their assigned sex at birth.
Am I understanding this right?
It can be like that, I feel kind of like that since I do have some small connection to being male but also a strong lack of connection to gender at all.
I’m the same way! Thanks for teaching me that there’s a word for what I’ve felt. :)
