Have you ever felt...
- Like M, F, or even FTM and MTF aren't enough? And certainly not "gay," "straight," or "queer?"
- Or that your gender changes by the minute, hour, day, or season?
- That maybe you were meant to have more than one gender?
- Ever feel that your gender isn't so clear cut? (Or that it falls right off the map?)
- Tired of hearing, "You're just confused," when you already know who you are, or, you're comfortable with not knowing?
- Does it ever bother you - or amuse you - when people say you're "too" "feminine" or "masculine," that you "look like a girl," or "a boy," whatever these words mean, with a tone that implies that that's a bad thing?
- Ever wish people would just stop asking, whether sarcastically or seriously, when you're going to start hormones, have surgery, and "transition," with the assumption that these terms automatically apply to you? (They might, but that doesn't give others the right to assume).
Our stories tell us that genderqueer and
gender non-conforming people need a safe haven, a uniquely
genderqueer, gender-defying, gender-gifted, gender
non-conforming, non-binary space. In GenderQueer Revolution
community space, no one will force you to choose a label.
No one will oppose weekly, daily, or even hourly changes of
name, pronouns, gender identity, gender expression, or
style. You can choose to "wear," play, or experiment with
any gender configuration, revel in confusion, by choice or
by circumstance, or not. Here, "genderqueer" does not mean
"trans." It may, but it doesn't have to.
Beyond Labels.
Beyond Gender. Beyond Arbitrary Distinctions and
Divisions...
