"chooses" to be enby (doesn't really understand concepts) and they wear black all the time, sees self as an elf and is really generally "disruptive". wore squirrel ears all the time and was /obsessed/. befriended our favorite genderfluid kid, holly!! late 4th/summer // enby, poly and demi "I hate you!!!!!!" skipped over the depressed phase and the "i'm ace!!" phase. also the omni phase. lots of skipping. liked holly. freaked out. started going by dee!! carrying foam sword from summer camp 5th + summer // demiromantic enby. uranic. "I am a demon that eats pencil lead" got ears pierced and a haircut, but those two cancelled each other out. still, experienced before the ears were pierced folks calling it a boy, and wants to go back, and they/them doesn't feel right anymore, but copes instead by adding neopronouns, and ignoring when none of them fit. kind of traumatized by our lovely fifth grade teacher!! late summer 5/6 // gay transmasc "this is a link. fight over it." oh lord the names they're coming!! run!! ok I passed a bit less than this but yea!! very sad and tired little guy who uses it/its while ignoring discomfort w/ the pronouns. (most of) 6th // gay demiboy "my silly gay business is none of yours" the child is no longer "distruptive" or "giving people PTSD"!!! puts less focus on identity and ignores when he's not really feeling romantic attraction, fun!! also he has stable friends for once in his li-- 6th // aroflux gay demiboy "so, was that a watch recommendation or are you t posing whilst hovering behind my car accelerating quickly???" oop, no stable friends anymore!! at least we still have teache-- oh they hate us now!! wonderful!! likes another boy because BOYS are PRETTY . school year ends soon so this guys just trying to ignore the fact that he might be binary trans and hey its almost summer!!! planning on coming out. hair isn't that long irl BONUS : how I want to look - longer hair but still passes, doesn't look obviously trans just a demiboy or smth, cooler jacket, life is better what I actually look like: um very brown hair but there wasn't an option, people look at me and go "ah a femboy", very sleep deprived & hair flops down. bo - first queer person encounter holly - made me question my straightness bunch of my current friends -
