tuuli reblogged this from purplegoesbothways and added:
Why would a binary trans man identify as a “boi”? Like weird… But, whatever. That’s beside the point… Gender-neutral for binary trans people, eh? That is like so not cool IMHO.Things like “Other Half” and so on don’t quite fit if you’re poly.

FUCK YEAH, GENDERQUEERS!: Transgender Parenting →
fyeahgenderqueers:
A question was posed to me quite a while ago. If I ever raised kids, would I tell them I was genderfluid? Or would I just be “mummy” to them?
