    Q&A: “i was wondering if you’ve read biyuti binoahan, who afai could tell *was* arguing that white ppl cannot have a non-binary gender…”

    January 18, 2016 /

    anonymous said: hey, thanks megabucks for yr posts on apora- and aliagender. i was wondering if you’ve read biyuti binoahan, who afai could tell *was* arguing that white ppl cannot have a non-binary gender as it would be appropriative/racist? i feel like that particular discourse took root in many (white, masculine-nb) circles, and was The Citation about binarism. (also, my norse pagan ergi friend got bullied off tumblr for stating they had a cultural nb gender as a white person.. bluh. Emotions run Strong) hi! 🙂 i know of biyuti (b. binaohan), but i’m not sure whether or not i’ve read the writing in question. this, perhaps? i’ll have to check it out later when i’m not running on 2hrs of sleep and short on spoons. either way, based on what you’ve said about it, i’m fairly certain that i have come across arguments about binarism and non-binary genders on…

    Feedback: “I was the anon that tried to claim aliagender was racist, aporagender not…”

    January 18, 2016 / No Comments

    anonymous said: I was the anon that tried to claim aliagender was racist, aporagender not. In the past, I had seen a number of blogs call aliagender a “racist gender that was basically third gender”. I chose to follow that notion without further research. That only really helps to contribute to the misconceptions at hand, let alone the fact the topic wasn’t mine to speak about in the first place. Thank you for calling me out on this; I am sorry for for my actions, and I will keep this in mind in the future. anon, i really appreciate you taking the time not only to read my post, but to respond to it like this as well. thank you! you most certainly aren’t the only one who saw the claims made against aliagender and who, with the best of intentions, sided with them and spread them. however, as of…

    Q&A not Q&A: “…the first definition of [aporagender] was literally “same as third gender but white people can use too”…”

    December 14, 2015 / No Comments

    anonymous said: Not trying to start an argument by any means, but I think the reason that person said aporagender (I’ve probably spelt that wrong) is racist, is because the first definition of it was literally “same as third gender but white people can use too” or something along those lines, which some see as racist, because something that’s the same as third gender, considering the terms history, shouldn’t be for white people. Sorry if this sounded argumentative thats not my aim at all ? having kept a watchful eye on the term aporagender pretty much since around the time of its coinage (because it was in fact coined around the exact same time that i coined maverique) i can safely say that i have never seen the word defined nor described in that way. as such, i am extremely skeptical that that is the reason why the anon is…

    September 14, 2015 / No Comments

    anonymous submitted: I would like to take a moment to be absolutely real with you. You are gold to me. My whole life I have been struggling with identity. Today I came across your Maverique video on YouTube and I completely lost it. Relief, a sense of pride……contentment. I bawled my eyes out for me, for younger me and for those who can finally feel less alienated now that you have coined Maverique. Thank you thank you! Bless xo Vesper: ;-; ….i swear, i haven’t done anything to deserve such kindness, but thank you. thank you so much for taking a moment to share this with me. it means so much to know that others like myself are out there and have found comfort in the gender identity. all the best to you, fellow maverique. 🙂

    anonymous said: This isn’t a question, but I just wanted to say that I’ve identified with Asexuality for about a month now and I’ve found your blog (and youtube channel in particular) really helpful in coming to terms with my own identity. I am also genderqueer and so can relate to a lot of the issues that you cover in your videos, both from a gender identity and a sexuality perspective and it’s really comforting to know that there is someone else who is a little like me. So a huge thank you for sharing 🙂   thank you for watching and for being so kind as to write to me. appreciate it! and i’m honored to have helped you in any way. it’s comforting for me as well to know that there are others out there dealing with the same or similar issues that i am. wishing you all…
