A pondering... Usernames and Gender Identity
« on: November 27, 2007, 10:19:25 pm »

   Usernames and Gender Identity


Have you ever noticed...

Transsexuals and Crossdressers adopt gender-specific usernames contrary to their natal sex?
Bigenders adopt tandem-gender usernames like David/Cora, Rick&Rita, or John/Jennifer?
Genderless Androgynes use gender-neutral nicks or names which correspond to their natal sex?

I am an Androgyne.
I am not Cisgendered, not Cross-gendered, not Bi-gendered, not Neutrois, not a Crossdresser, not Genderqueer.
I'm something else entirely...
Something that existed beyond and before the creation of the binary genders.

I can't speak for anyone else, but when your living as a specific gender, it does help to have your name match.

well for me i'd always HATED my birth name i'll even give you a hint to what it is thnk of the term given to people who pick up hookers when there arested by the police it's an easy one to guess, and besides i also hated my gender i mean gezz to have this damned thing between your legs i mean if i could just find a way to safely tuck it in i'd be more comfortable with my self.& also i'd pretty much used female names anyway.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Hmm.
It's common, but certainly not 100% true.
I wouldn't say 'Vexing' is male or female.

Of what? D:

I was thinking... it kinda makes sence because the heartwood is inside a tree and you can't see it... just like I'm a girl inside!

Dunno, there is bound to be something. Um, watermellon. Not really wood though. Artichoke hearts? cacti...really it should be the best part to eat of anything.

I don't think I've ever used usernames that revealed my natal sex. Most of them could very easily be used by anyone. I don't know if there was any reason for this, but I like to have a username that doesn't make people have too many assumptions about me.
