Hello. I'm Andrew and I'm a 21 year old college student in Maine. I'm trans (shocking, I know), and I guess some folks would call me genderqueer though that's not the label I choose for myself - my partner and I usually say that we're both trans but not transitioning, which I guess is the most accurate thing. I don't plan to go on T or get surgery, though my gender presentation is mostly male.
I go back to school on Tuesday, and I will be returning as Andrew for the first time. Not that I'm freaking out or anything. I use both male and female pronouns (I don't care what folks read me as). My school has been really fantastic. The student life staff said, essentially, that whatever makes me happy is what they will support. I have a single (as do almost all returning students), all of our bathrooms are gender neutral, we don't have official sports, so that's not an issue, all housing groups are coed anyway, etc.
I've identified as trans since I was 15, and I came out as queer a month or two after I turned 12. Up until this point I've gone by a variation of my Gov't name (a really lame variation - Ang from Angela is not a huge stretch of the imagination). Every year I consider starting back to school as Andrew, and every year I convince myself that it's not worth it or that I don't really need to. And this year I didn't let myself do that.
And.. yeah. I'm not all that fascinating.
