Re: What is your sexuality and gender identity? -

i'm best described as queer.
as my thing says, i'm a blue violet genderqueer trans* guy. the blue violet genderqueer part meaning that my genderqueer part is sort of a blended androgynous and male gender, though there's no separate female part.
most of the time i identify solely as male, though i can lean genderqueer.
as for my sexuality, offline people know me as gay. that's actually a preference. i prefer people of similar gender identity, be they queer or male or queer male. panromantic pansexual works best, although i don't love people "REGARDLESS" of gender. that makes it sound like gender isn't important to me. it is. i love gender. i love it when people experience it intensely. when it's so strong it's almost tangible. i love all bodies, whatever parts they have or how blended or queer their parts may be. sex and gender are spectrums, and i love them. beautiful. i love all minds and gender identities.
as a side note, the wording in the poll bothers me. intersex is not a gender identity, it's part of the sex spectrum. and "FTM trans" being separate from male, and "MTF trans" being separate from female, is really problematic because it implies trans* people are a subcategory. my gender identity is (queer) male, not ftm.
a better wording would possibly be the categories "cis female/male" and "trans* female/male". (i use the asterisk because it's the best way i know of to be inclusive of nonbinary genders, and i'm not totally binary myself.)
