So...I've been struggling with my gender identity for the last month or so.

Congratulations on figuring it out! I'll be sure to change how I refer to you, though I can't promise I won't slip up at first.

Also: are you particularly attached to xe/xem/xyr, or would zie/zer/zer be okay? Those are the agendered pronouns I'm used to.

[shobogan]

Thanks, Dagger! I'll understand.

That would be fine. ♥

(Heh, I always love that icon.)

(It's one of my favs.)

(I wonder if it would be too self-indulgent to work it into a fic. I mean, I already have that plot bunny where a Doctor Who companion slaps Freud...)

I'm so glad you've found your comfort zone, so to speak! Sage is a great name.

I am used to using zie/zer etc - another good friend of mine identifies as genderqueer, and asked for that usage - would that be okay?

[shobogan]

Thanks. :)

That would be fine!

I like Sage. :)

[shobogan]

Thanks! :) I found it on a list of ambiguous names, and thought it was kind of fitting.

Hey Sage!

I think I saw something pertaining to this that you posted on Tumblr, but I never got a chance to say anything (I still hate Tumblr for conversation). Anyway, I wanted to say congrats on figuring out/coming to terms with this; I'm so so happy for you!

I know revelations like this take a lot a lot of courage, so thank you for sharing. If you ever want to talk, don't hesitate to send me a PM here or on Tumblr (I still check it even though I don't post a lot). I miss talking to you!

Much love,
Valerie

(PS I love the new name. LOVE it!)

Hey! :3

I wrote a post working out some feelings, yeah. (And yeah, Tumblr can be really difficult, and it seems hell-bent on making it more difficult lately. Tumblr, get your shit together.) Thank you! ♥

I'm grateful. ♥ I miss you, too!

(/beams I'm pretty happy with it myself.)

I'm so pleased you have a safe place where you feel you can share these personal realizations and know you'll receive the appropriate support. Feel free to email me if you ever need a place to let off steam about, well, not just this, just anything in general.

Thank you for letting us know which pronouns you prefer, as that often can be a subject of awkward debate.

Good luck, Sage.

[shobogan]

Thanks, Griff, I appreciate that. ♥ (I am hearting all over the place tonight. In conclusion, I have the best flist.)

You're welcome! I figure it's easiest that way, they're on my profile too.

Thanks. :) I'll...probably need it.
