Description OK i know this in relation to my other works looks like crap, but its more of a sketch atm, rather then a finished work, cause I plan to take this to a canvas and paint it as a black and white image. So once I finish the canvas version this is going to be hidden away in my sketches folder cause its just embarrassing.

This work idea was sparked when I picked up a book entitled My Agender, and flipped to a random chapter entitled, "The Grey Bit in Between". This very personal account, struck me out of all the other stories because in a way it described where I was personally on the subject of my gender identity.

It struck me I wanted to represent this, in the way of a self portrait, having a feminine picture of me, next to one where I actually got mistaken as a boy by my parents (form my cosplay of Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto), and unfortunately, I'm not that good in drawing myself. so please bare with me on this picture.

I don't really know where I stand in gender identity, for sure yet, tough the closest I think I come to is bigendered.

Forgive me, but could you explain Agendered to me? Does it mean not identifying as any gender? (I'm still learning these things )

Quite alright. It was the title of the book I was reading but you are right.

Agender is actually a transgender person who doesn't identify as any gender. It falls under the boarder category of gender queer. Gender neutral could be another term for it.

Thats a proper explanation of it, cause I'm really bad at explaining things XD.

Ohhh ok! I thought that might be what Agender was! ^^.

Don't worry, you explained it great! I have a friend who identifies as gender queer actually . He uses the male pronoun, though...I think .

Awesome! Do you need to tell others what pronouns to use on specific days? *blushes at possible stupid question*

Hahaha it depends who I'm around. Most people haven't really picked up on or I haven't told them so they always refer to me by female pronouns. The friends that are aware can usually tell based on how I'm dressed that particular day, and if I'm bound or not. Sometimes they don't get it right but its no big a deal for me cause I know they do make an attempt.
