being nonbinary

as a queer kid, i'm very fortunate to grow up in a household that wasn't strict on gender roles. i was raised by a single mom and she never cared about what knds of toys i would play it. she sees me playing with barbies, she gets me a new one when her salary comes in. she sees me playing with my brother's toys, she gets me more of those.

i guess i have the good understanding on what it's like to grow up in a home that was okay with how i present myself and how i would dress myself (well, their only issue with me when i was a teen was that i wore black too much but that was it) and looking back on it, i guess they already knew before i came out.

this time around, it's funny when people would assume my gender preference without thinking about asking me just so things would be clear and no one would be confused but hey, i don't blame them for not asking. the world has evolved to a number of people taking offense in almost anything and everything and i have received feedback from people that i just met that my RBF looks like i hated conversations.

it's fine though. whatever people assume, i win.

a handsome woman? thank you

a pretty boy? i'm blushing
