This forum has really made me start questioning things about myself...

Recently there has been an obvious amount of really weird transphobia on the site that was thankfully taken care of but the discussions people have about the characters in Homestuck being Trans or some other non-cis identity has really made me realize that I relate a lot to what people are saying about the characters.


And I think a lot of the horrible things people were saying about Andrew Hussie's clowngender made me realize that I also really relate to Genderqueer identity. I have always felt "genderless" in a way, and have never really resonated with labels like girl or boy, so the idea of someone taking a concept like "clown" as a gender was something that I just sort of understood from the get go, but also I kind of felt like I could do something like that for myself. (I have not played Pyscholonials even though everyone keeps saying to play Psycholonials T_T I am just too lazy but I will do it soon)


Anyways, I also felt personally like I've never been able to call myself genderqueer or align myself with that community because I wasn't taking it "seriously" or something lol (and really this is just because of what someone said in that now locked thread about how Hussie doesn't take their gender "seriously" so they don't have to respect it) But the idea of just being a "girl" also just does not fit with me like at all.


Reading a lot of trans people's analysis on Homestuck has given me a new perspective!
