cereus: A heart entangled with a rainbow colored infinity sign (rainbow)

Kaz wrote this post out of zir frustration with a WAY oversimplified, and therefore useless, "trans* awareness" handout ze was given.

In this post, ze made a couple of epic cool drawings *more accurately* describing zir gender/sexuality.

So I'm following suit:

Cereus's "Gender"  Identification based off of body feelings which may be visible or phantom limb-y  * Gender:




Summary image description: ranging between Man and Androgyne and almost getting to woman, only to be stopped by quicksand.  Neutrois is alien land.

Who Cereus is attracted to:



Summary image description: between Pansexual/Attracted to tops/bottoms/etc.


* I'm not sure that I have any gender feelings that are not connected to visceral body stuff.  But some people seem to, and call that "gender".  I mostly don't get it.  I guess my brain doesn't "do" symbols unless it's pretty obvious what it symbolizes or is concrete.

Sorry about the lack of image descriptions, maybe later.

Ooh, this is awesome! :D I do love the "mailbox people keep sending my stuff to" past the quicksand...

I admit I was kind of hoping other people will draw the lay of the land from their perspective, since I think it's very interesting to see how other people conceptualise this stuff and so. (I do have some sense of gender that's separate from the body stuff, but as for actually describing it... bizarrely enough, pretty much all of what was in my original picture is actually involved in how I conceive of my gender, and I'm not sure "neutrois is a sci-fi space city with lots of nice aliens flying UFOs about, it's a lovely place, I can see it from my house but I don't think I could live there" is actually remotely helpful to anyone oh god my brain why are there UFOs in my gender identity why.)

(psst, my pronouns are ze/zer/zer or ze/eir/zer [<-unholy hybrids of Spivak and 'ze' are the best!], as in "that's Kaz, ze perpetrated atrocities that made Photoshop weep with zer/eir tablet because ze was pissed off at the way people were erasing zer.")
