hi! my name is lexy! when i was in 5th grade i started watching someone on youtube that spoke about their identity and how they don’t fit into the category of boys or girls. they felt like they didn’t belong in either category. then the person started talking about being gender fluid and explained to my 10 year old mind what that meant and somehow i completely understood it. it made me feel completely okay knowing that other people in this world that feel the same way about that. for years i fought for the lgbt community, i came out as bisexual in 5th grade to everyone and my mom said she knew i liked girls since i was in kindergarten. for years after that i grew fonder of the trans people in my life, i made sure to always surround myself around people that made me feel accepted. i started high school and decided to finally change my pronouns and tell my loved ones in september of 2020. i felt so strongly about the subject, i changed my pronouns on social medias, before it was an option, put it in my bio and told my boss and my boyfriend at the time even though he wasn’t accepting of it. i didn’t care, i was free. i was out and could dress and be myself without feeling like a fraud. without feeling like i have to fit into one standard of being a girl and pleasing everybody around me. i didn’t have to feel like i had to wear a dress or a skirt or a frilly shirt if i didn’t want to that day. i can be myself and allow others to see me as myself as well. happy pride month to all of my other fellow non binary friends or anyone in the lgbtq+ community. i support you and you are seen. thank you for accepting me into something more amazing than i could ever imagine❤️
Understanding gender identity is essential for creating a more inclusive society. People who identify as gender fluid often feel a mix of male and female traits or may fluctuate between different gender identities. It's vital to recognize and respect everyone’s pronouns and identity. This awareness fosters acceptance and support for LGBTQ+ individuals. The significance of Pride Month cannot be overstated, as it highlights the struggles and history of the LGBTQ+ community while celebrating diversity and love. Engaging with LGBTQ+ content, supporting local events, and advocating for equal rights are ways to uplift the community. It is crucial to create safe spaces where everyone can express their true selves without fear or judgement. Building a strong support system helps young individuals navigate their identities and enhances their well-being. By educating ourselves and others, we contribute to a world where everyone can feel seen and valued.
