Genderstraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoI think I’m going to post this question in a few groups to try to maximize advice… Please comment if you have any thoughts!
I’m a queer cis femme college grad who just started seeing a female-bodied genderqueer person who goes by the pronouns they/their/them. I’m doing my best to get used to using these pronouns, which I consistently do when…[Read more]

Well, as someone who is only out to some people as trans, I ask people when I tell them about me to continue using my old name and pronouns in public. My guess then for you would to be continuing using female pronouns until you’re able to talk with them about it.
-
Nikki, thank you for your advice! I thought I had responded but apparently not–sorry! See my response to smartypants below if you’re interested in how things turned out… thanks again for your input.

I maybe a little late to this party but wanted to lend some support–and also, applaud both your sensitivity and sense of politeness. I’m a big fan of being polite! Perhaps since your original comment was about a month ago, you’d be willing to let us know how it evolved for you?–what did you decide? How did you choose to negotiate this?–hope all is well.

Hey! Sorry for the slow response… saw this at work last week and didn’t get to reply. I ended up finally talking to the person about the pronoun question a couple weeks ago. They told me that they prefer for me/people to use their pronouns (they/their) in the company of others, since using she/her can create an uncomfortable disconnect on the…[Read more]

Well done Lindsay for having that conversation with your friend–and if I remember correctly, a romantic friend, n’est ce pas? In which case, I hope it’s going well…..
W/r/t friends who keep blowing it with the pronouns–I think calling on it “in the moment” (no Italics!) is probs the way I would go. Like small children and puppies, training…[Read more]

NYC Autostraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoHey I’m coming to NYC this Summer! Any tips for lesbian places to hang out? :)
-
it seriously depends on what your scene is. i would say good places to start are henrietta hudson, a lesbian bar open all week and creme de la femme, an event by maggie c. on wednesday nights at union sq ballroom. there is also club remix on friday nights ( usually qpoc), lovergirl on saturday nights (usually qpoc), on sundays in the summer there…[Read more]

i also wanted to add that you should definitely check out first saturdays at the brooklyn museum. admission is free and it brings out a lot of queers in the area.
-
Thanks mate. I’ll check those places out! I don’t really have a scene…there’s only a few gay bars where I’m from so I’m sure everywhere in new york will be amazing :) Although I amn’t into butch women so if there’s a gay club in NYC specifically for butch women I should probably steer clear :D

Genderstraddlers 11 years, 9 months agoChrissie, gender identity and assigned birth sex are not always the same and that is quandry to which transgender people find themselves. Most people don’t even think about whetther their bodies properly represent their inner gender, for transpeople it is a daily struggle to attempt to socialize and self identify when we feel alien to our own…[Read more]
