Can't decide, it.
This is how you see me.
This is how i know you see me.
This is how i kill parts of myself everyday just for you to maybe see me how i see myself.
In conclusion, I am a boy.
Most of all, I am a person.
That's often forgotten/thrown out of thought.
I am a person who:
• Lives
•Breathes
•Eats
•Thinks
•Communicates
•Has a love for art, music, and has many aspirations
• and has feelings just like you
I know I may not be easy to see as myself sometimes, but i'm trying the best I can and it'd be nice if people would consider that sometimes.
Also, asking me "which" i am is not the right move.
For cis people reading this who may want to know how to properly ask, here is how:
You pull them aside privately, and say something along the lines of "Hey, i just wanted to ask what your pronouns are? I just didn't want to mess up lol."
Maybe you're not in a situation where you know them and you're a stranger.
Then, it's quite simple.
Look at their hair, clothing, and mannerisms.
Off that, you take whichever gender they're leaning more towards.
The safest bet to go without crushing someone who may have gender dysphoria if you genuinely can't decide, is just to say
"Them".
Something so simple can prevent so much later
pain and added-on self-hatred.
