Trans and Non Binary people - 7/7/2015 7:01:36 PM

So, i've noticed some things when people contact me. One of which is people dont seem to realize that ftm people exist, or that non binary people exist. So many people are confused when I tell them my boobs are real.

I feel like people may be fetishizing trans people /too/ much to the point where they forget that its an identity outside of sex.

Also, i just noticed theres way more mtf than ftm on here, at least from what i can tell.

I myself am definitely not female gendered. Ive known this since i was 9 years old. The gender options here arent broad enough so ive been using transgendered (which, by the way, does not mean that the person has had surgery) as my gender instead of male, because i feel like that would be way more confusing. I myself am pretty versed in LGBT/GSRM topics. I have a lot of lables, just do be more descriptive and to the point so people know what theyre getting into before hand.

Im just kinda curious on your guys opinions on this.

People of all kinds are fetishized here. It's annoying but all you can do is block and delete.

Beyond that, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. But welcome, none the less.

I think you're going to get a lot of responses about how we have "too many labels now!"

I think you're right, but those are the unfortunate responses you're going to get.

I'd just state some of this stuff in your profile.

I get fetishized for my weight on here from time to time, block and delete.

Preaching to the choir here.

One of my partners is non-binary and identifies as androgynous. He spent years living as MtF, in part due to society's insistence that people must live as one gender or the other. It only made him more miserable. He's much happier now, but still deals with confusion from other people because of some supposed rule that we must choose one.

Everyone is fetishized or objectified in some form or another. That's an unavoidable part of life.
