hi! i think i'm genderfluid and i want to have some of my friends use a different name and pronouns, would that be okay? can my gender switch ( for lack of a better term ) between more than two genders? also, is it possible to be panromantic and androromantic ( androromantic means im attracted to more masculine people) along with asexual? or do i have to limit it down to just one romantic identity.

i'm dfab and if i tell my friends that i want to be addressed differently ( with a diff. name and pronouns ) and that i'm androromantic and they say that i should stay a cishet girl, does that make my sexual and romantic orientation and gender identity less valid?

thank you for any help that you can give!

You can have your friends call you by whatever pronouns you like and your pronouns can change as your gender does. Your gender can drift along the entire gender spectrum. Being genderfluid doesn't mean you have to stick to being in the gender binary. You can have as many identities and qualifiers for your romantic orientation as you want and panromantic and androromantic don't have to "cancel each other out" or discredit your asexuality.

Your friends don't get to decide how you identify and saying you should stay a cishet girl doesn't change that you're not a cishet girl if you don't feel like one. Your romantic orientation and gender identity are never invalid and no one should make you feel that way.

Jewish, cis, bi-cupiosexual. she/her pronouns.

You matter. <3

If your friends don't support you, it only means that they don't support you and they're jerks, it doesn't make your identity any less valid. You can be as many sexualities as you want... Just try not to balance too many at once.
