Trigger warning: this could be upsetting
Shortly after graduating school, I hung out with someone I met once before and was raped and have some trauma in my background. It was aquaintance rape I guess? I barely knew him. There’s other bad stuff that’s happened that’s also horrifying, some of it worse than that.
I am biologically male and effeminate, but don’t want to have a female body. I don’t really feel like anything and sort of don’t care what people call me. I am slightly asexual just from trauma and don’t really feel like I exist in a way. It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m not around in another decade.
I support trans people, but feel like putting he/him next to my name sort of implies a more clear identity than I have or implies I care about how people label me. I don’t. I sort of barely exist and don’t like to imply otherwise. People can call me anything, I don’t care. I don’t see myself as female or a they or it. I don’t see myself as anything.
I almost want to go like (he/him/*) but I am afraid this would be disrespectful.
I truthfully would like to be (he/him/🫥/💀) which would obviously be seen as demeaning. I feel like anything other than normal parantheticals opens the door to a distracting conversation that I don’t want professionally and often don’t want personally. And I feel like nothing after my name is dog-whistle for trans-people-are-invalid.
(I don’t care about pronouns but support trans people) also seems disrespectful and sort of like “i want attention” and I really don’t.
I wish I could support trans people without having to label myself or my body or even bring up these topics. Is there a way to do that? There probably isn’t.
Go fuck off. I did not post this question to get a barrage of mental health help. All I said is I don’t know if I’ll be here in a decade and I’m instantly bombarded with “go get therapy.” It’s so presumptious. I could have a fatal illness. You don’t know my situation. I asked a question about pronouns and absolutely wasn’t looking for medical mental health advice nor did I want it. Leave me the hell alone.
