Gender Journey
Once upon a time, I was born. 😱
I am AMAB (assigned male at birth) and I've never nad a problem with that. As I've gotten older and learned more about other people's experiences, I did spend some time thinking about whether I might be trans. After lots of reflection, I decided that I wasn't. I was born male, and I don't have a problem with that.

Early this year, I discovered a character that a friend had designed, and I kinda fell in love. I ended up getting the fursuit my friend made for the character, and things just... sparked! After years of feeling "meh" about it, fursuiting was bright and fun again, I picked up drawing again, and it was generally a refreshing time in my life. It was also around the time that I retired my old fursona and decided to represent myself with a (nonbinary) protogen named Cascade instead.

And now I wonder: Why is it that I sparked so much with Suika? Why did I feel like switching my Bluesky profile to be her online for the month? Did I miss something when I considered my gender identity years before? So I was questioning again.
I'll spare the long, broad survey of possibilities I researched and considered. These are the questions that ended up leading me to an answer:
- Do I feel male? 100%.
- Do I feel female? Like 50-60%.
- Do I feel a third gender? Not really. I have a hard time conceptualizing what it would feel like.
There's a whole string of various gender terms that would work. Anything as broad as nonbinary or as specific as androgyne would work. I know I don't need to pick one and stick to it, but it does help to have one or two terms in the back pocket, for short bios or quick communication.
That said...
Among the options that I think apply to me include: Nonbinary, multigender, transgender, bigender, cogender, cofluid, androgyne, and probably others too.
So... What Then?
Long story short (too late), I ended up settling on bigender. (⚨)
I use any pronouns you like. (Though in the context of Suika, big bonus points for she/her, or if you pull out the "good girl" card :3)
I'm male, and I don't have a problem with that. I'm also partially female, and I don't have a problem with that either.
