​Amelia is super queer

Okay. So.

​

If you're reading this, you might have seen all my previous updates to this website. This is the third or fourth time I've gone through and edited it to be more accurate.

 

Humans change. People learn and grow, and I'm no different. Over the years, my queerness has become less important to define and more of just who I am.

 

This time around, I don't have any fancy labels that describe my experiences, and I'm okay with that. Pansexual, asexual, demisexual, quoiro, bi, grey, etc, etc, whatever. Kudos to those who have labels, and I'm so glad you do! But I don't think I really need them.

 

If pressed, my only ID lately has just been "queer." I still feel kind of attatched to the asexual community, but choose to identify more as "ace spectrum," instead of strictly asexual. It just doesn't really fit anymore. *Shrug* That's how life is, I guess.

 

With gender, I'm not entirely sure what mine is anymore. All I know is I'm not a girl in any sense of the word. I'm not a lady, not a woman, not a female. Boy? Maybe. Sometimes. Pretty often, if I'm being honest. But I can't remember the last time I felt like a girl. So I've been just sticking with the simple term of "trans." Or, if you want to get specific, trans masculine. Maybe one day I'll end up being just a boy, but I'm not quite to that point yet.

 

Labels are good, for those who want them. If I wanted to, I could probably string together some long phrase of words that would fit me. (Off the top of my head, it would probably be demisexual panromantic demiboy but I don't really have the time/energy to explain that to everyone I meet)

 

I just don't really see a need to have that much complication involved in who I am as a person anymore. As a queer trans person, that's all I really need to describe me.

 

I'm sticking with the they/them pronouns, because I've gotten so used to them and they feel comfortable and safe. But if you'd ever like to, I will absolutely accept he/him pronouns. I've slowly started giving people permission to use he/him for me (mainly professors who are having a really hard time) and I kind of like it. You can call me a boy, or a guy, or dude, and that's fine. (Though I don't really feel like a "man," if that makes sense.)

 

I hope your day has been well, and I hope we talk soon! <3
