Best services to share as a polycule family unit?
(self.polyamory)
Thanks for the ping! Ive messaged them.
I had to stop reading right there
Love this post! You have such a fun playful style of writing and it's a style that I never see on like, reddit for instance. Emojis are really looked down on there and language is expected to be pretty standardized. I love how much fun u have w it :3
Thanks for sharing your story! :) My partner was binary trans for years before they came out as nonbinary, which far more matches their identity.
I myself thought that binary trans was the only option when I was in high school so I pushed that egg deep down down down until my early 30s when it cracked open. When I first was thinking about transitioning, the idea of fully going fem just didn't feel right for me. I feel so grateful to live in a s o c i e t y where it's more welcomed than in the past.
I thought that it was just being adorable and clever.
This is wonderful, though I feel like "I don't feel super comfortable in my body" as a pre-cursor to nonbinary identity is a narrow view. I didn't experience much gender dysphoria before transitioning, but I experience a hell of a lot of gender euphoria when exploring my nb side.

Transcendence: Queer Restoryation
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
My wonderful partner Cai Quirk recently released a new book on themes of finding unique personal narratives for queer people.
In a world that doesn't have many stories for gender-nonconforming individuals to help find themselves, I think their work has potential to help many.
Cai's photography and writing delves deep into our collective connection with nature to pull out new stories from the ever-generative wellspring of life that is all around us.
I adore them and am so proud of this accomplishment, and would ask for you to please support them by purchasing a copy of their book if their work speaks to you!

Putting together a band with my partner and metamore
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Me, my partner, and their partner, are putting together a band. Me on guitar, my partner on bass, and my meta on drums and keys.
I've had a lot of original music for quite a while and it's such a pleasure to be able to share it with these two people that are so important to me and watch my songs evolve.
Last night I slept over at their place and woke up early unable to get back to sleep because I'm so excited to play more.
Heck ye :)
(disclaimer: 31 Years old queer)
I grew up in Jacksonville, FL and it wasn't great then, but I can only imagine what it's like now with Desantis. You holding the line
What a great place to work
Ah nice! Probably the same bundle I got it in.
I enjoyed playing this with my partner!

Televising my gender
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I gutted an old CRTV, replaced the screen with tinted 1-way glass, filled it with foam and a hard hat to be comfy, and spray-painted tf out of it
but maybe the real treasure was the gender we met along the way
Also a huge fan of The Ethical Slut!
I liked it a lot better than Polysecure, which was more psychology than polyamory. Also not as huge of a fan of Sex at Dawn, which was more like anthropology than actionable poly material, though it's good for what it is.

Nobody is really anything except the matter and energy that make them up. Labels are tools humans use to try to categorize things and make meaning when there is none.
Given that you aren't particularly drawn to most gendered terms, specifically ones that aren't gender-neutral enough, consider exploring the label "agender" for yourself. You could try it on and see what fits.
Sometimes a more blanket term like "queer" feels better to people.
A note that we can't wrap our entire being into a single word; there's too much of it to fit, and we're bound to over-pour the container. It can be more helpful to consider them as tags or attributes, not containers.
