Boring bio:
Name: Marjan (pronounced like Marian), but thinking of going by "Alex"
Age: 28
Location: Belgium (Europe)
Gender: Genderfluid - demigirl (dfab) - they/them (or she/her), please.
Sexuality: Pansexual - genderblind
Hobbies: music (listening and singing)
Sooo.. I got sucked into the LGBTQIA+ community mostly through my trans ex-girlfriend. I wanted to be the best partner I could be to her, so I went online and did my research. Sadly, we broke up, but hey that's life, right?
But the research stuck, and the more I learned, the more I realised that how I felt about myself actually wasn't cis. I was never taught you could BE anything other than male or female, so I just assumed I was female, as I didn't feel male. Aaaaannnnnnd then I went down the Tumblr hole and wow, so many pronouns. So many genders. So many sexualities.
My mind was blown!
A few nights were spent thinking and evaluating (and getting upset and angry), and I realised the reason I wasn't happy with my body wasn't because of fat or flabby bits or whatever. It was just that I never knew better than to look at my body through "feminine" glasses, when it wasn't how I felt.
But I was never taught to be any other way, I literally didn't know any better.
Now I feel more like "girl, but not 100% girl. Like maybe 70% girl and 30% something else.", and that 'something else' tends to be genderless but at times it's androgyny, or more towards the male end of the spectrum.
I've taken on a more androgynous (in *my* opinion, obviously) presentation for most of the time now. It feels right.
Okay, uh, if there's anything else you want to know, just.. ..ask?
