Hi All...
it has come to my attention that my posts have everyone, not just me, totally confused about my TG :P
Now, I don't mind, except that people feel unconfortable around me and embarrassed cos they don't know what pronouns to use... and I'd like my friends to feel relaxed when they talk to me...
So, I'll try and explain:
First, a bit of history: my username is completely unrelated to the topic of this forum. I created the email unicorn_sanctuary for a dear friend who loves unicorns, (ya know, the magical animals featured in a gorgeous series of avvies here on the forum) in an effort to get her to stay in touch with me (she has). I also like it, cos I'm a medievalist freak. There's a legend about unicorns, that they can be caught only by a maiden, who attracts them... thus they are lured into the trap. In my version there's no trap. Just bliss. In other forums I'm unicornlady not because of gender but from the story.
The name unicorn has NOTHING to do with unisex... though I do now use it to cover all my genders...
And, when I first chose this alias... I had no idea that unicorns are so popular with MtFs!
So, pronouns...
On forum: I sign my posts with different names depending on where I am on the (dare I say it??...) "spectrum", at that time.
unicorn = nondescript, "you figure it out"... call me what you feel like
Alex = male, he, etc.
Lisette = female, she, etc.
AlexLisette = MF, (if ya want to be hypercorrect, use neutral pronouns, ze/sie, hir and whatnot... I confess I have not mastered these terms yet (shame on me!)
In chat, I'm unicorn, so people know who I am... so call me whatever... if ya get it wrong don't worry I'll set ya str8 (or gay ;) ) !!
In case yer curious:
"Technical details":
-my birth sex = female, so my TG is in the FtM direction.
-TG type = genderqueer, cos no label fits and GQ is not a label really.
kk
I think that about covers everything.... feel free to ask questions ;D

Hey unicorn!It's ok. We're all unity of contrariety. ;D Just sometimes one side is dominant.
QuoteThere's a legend about unicorns, that they can be caught only by a maiden, who attracts them... thus they are lured into the trap.
Interesting way of looking at the legend. I have always looked at it as, Unicorns are far, far too cautious and intelligent to actually be trapped, ie. they choose the maiden and freely, knowingly, of their own accord choose to allow themselves to be caught.
How do I know that unicorns are cautious? Well... has anyone ever seen one? They have managed to avoid being seen all these years, that sounds pretty cautious to me! *laughs*
