I identify as… Genderqueer/genderfluid I’m not sure??
As far as third-person pronouns go, … They/them or she/her
I’m attracted to… Guys, gals, nb kids, etc. So basically anyone who isn’t a massive jerk :)
When people talk about me, I want them to… just treat me like they would any other person and not be a jerk bc of my gender/sexuality.
I want people to understand… I’m a bit of a mess but I’m a cool person I swear. I’m just a kid who loves playing video games and listening to music and drawing and spending time with my mates, yano?
About Amy
I’m 16 and I enjoy a good mix of emo classics, ed sheeran, chart music and musicals, I also love drama and I’m a right theatre kid. I have short hair which atm needs a bit of a trim in all honesty. I love playing games though I’m awful at them, I also love drawing and painting :)
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I use they/them. I’ve been cycling through pronouns for a while, but recently I have settled on they/them.
I’m attracted to… beautiful people! I lean more toward femininity, but occasionally, masculinity or androgyny catch my eye.
When people talk about me, I want them to… ask for my pronouns, please. I grew up in a small country town, where the gender binary was rarely questioned. As I get to know more people outside of this town, I hope to meet more who are aware of the complexities of gender outside the binary.
I want people to understand… I am still growing and learning! I’m excited to keep exploring my identity, and the labels I use could be temporary. I also want people to understand that the way I present myself isn’t necessarily a reflection of what I feel like inside. I live in a conservative area, so it is safest for me to present as feminine to my family and friends. When I move out, I plan to drastically change my appearance and be more open about who I am.
About Sage
Just a kid that recently had a gender epiphany.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I still normally present as female so I prefer those, but whatever you feel like. If I am having a really male or neutral day I prefer zei and zeim.
I’m attracted to… Girls and boys as long as they are nice, accepting and willing to put up with my endless Harry Potter quotes/ references.
When people talk about me, I want them to… realize that even though I mostly act like I don’t care what they think, it still impacts me.
I want people to understand… I am just a normal person because really – who defines “normal”. “Normal” for me is being genderqueer. Also, as long as they get that I am just another person and not in any way special, that’s how they should treat me.
About Alix or Ana
I am a humongous Potterhead (Harry Potter fan, for you muggles out there) who loves animals and being outside. I am a total history nerd and a bit of a jock. I run cross-country, swim, and play soccer. And wrestle with my little brother- but that doesn’t count.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … they/them but most people use she/her and i don’t feel obligated to try to educate everyone i meet.
I’m attracted to… queers. individuals who tend to present more masc and were raised as female. especially if dress apocalypse–ready (but make it fashion). and then every now and then maybe one cis dude in a gazillion will catch my eye.
When people talk about me, I want them to… think of me as genderqueer. not just perform allyship.
I want people to understand… i don’t have to follow their made up rules about gender. including those about how genderqueer people should be. you can call yourself an ‘ally’ and still be transphobic.

About Arin
I like to read, draw, and listen to music. I mostly draw dogs using pen as my medium. My taste in music changes as often as my gender identity, which is why I stream music instead of buying it. XD
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I use plural they/them, plural because it sounds better to say.
I’m attracted to… Girls and femme aligned nonbinary people.
When people talk about me, I want them to… Use my pronouns, and treat me like any other person.
I want people to understand… I don’t mind if you slip up, as long as you recognise it (I slip up too!). The gender binary is very constricting and it feels so much truer to me to be nonbinary!
