Persephone and Friends talk gender
"They said 'i think Aunt Persephone is non-gendered.' Like, what's that supposed to mean?! What about me says non-binary?" Perry chuckled.
"I'll be right back, then we can talk." Alex raised his eyebrows and headed for the kitchen.
Perry slowly swirled in her friends computer chair. She stared at the ceiling waiting for Alex to get done in the bathroom. Quiet footsteps padded across the wooden floor. Alex's partner, Lux had come from their downstairs "lair", a futon filled with pillows, stuffed animals, and numerous blankets. It was so strange how the subject of gender kept arising in her life lately. Her niece coming out as gender fluid and commenting on Perry's own sense of identity. Yeah, sure, sometimes it felt like a long skirt and crop top kind of day, she'd put her make up on and some dangly earing's to go take a walk and feel like a magical forest witch. Yeah, sure some other days she would slap on some jeans, a tank top and a Hawaiian shirt, finish it off with a ball cap and running shoes. That didn't mean anything. You could express yourself in whatever way you wanted, clothes had no gender.
"Hey Perry." Lux sat in the chair opposite Perry, swirling to face her.
"Hey." Perry smiled and lolled her head towards Lux. "Whats up?"
"Why do you get so nervous talking about your gender?" Lux's question was genuine but the glint in their eye told Perry they knew the query would make her uncomfortable.
"I...I don't know." She shrugged and sat up straighter, the leather of the chair crinkling under her.
Lux's smile grew. The bathroom door opened and shut. Alex stood in the doorway, arms folded, head leaning against the frame.
"You bring it up an awful lot." He commented.
Perry felt her face heat up. "What? No I don't! You just brought it up!"
"Its just you've brought it up like three times in the last week." he stated.
"Uh, no. I don't know...what...why?" Perry was feeling mildly uncomfortable now and not the least bit put on the spot.
"I'm just curious." Lux waved a hand as if dismissing the subject. We can move on.
"I've just never thought about it. I mean..." Perry twisted in the chair. "I'm just a lady!" she exclaimed. Lux and Alex giggled at this making Perry feel even more embarrassed.
It was true though. She had never thought about her gender. Or at least the significance of it to her. She was born a female and told to act like one. She was raised like a girl, dressed like a girl. In recent years she had started to dress slightly more masculine but that was just because she was finding her own style and what made her feel most comfy. Right?
"Okay...." She looked at her two friends. The two people in the world who knew her best. "Okay....what makes you think I'm anything but cis?"
Alex and Lux stared at each other for a moment.
"Shall I go first?" Alex asked. Lux shrugged giving him the lead.
"The countless stories you've told us of your childhood."
"I was a kid. I was playing..." Perry had flashbacks to fourth grade, talking on the phone with her female friend.
Lets play boyfriend/girlfriend Persephone!
okay.
You be the boyfriend!
She didn't know why they always wanted to play that game with her, or why she always had to be the boy. Then there was the time she pretended to be a boy playing pretend with her cousin and peed standing up in the back yard. She remembered it feeling slightly painful.
"You've sent me dozens of selfies using that beard filter. You were kinda obsessed with it."
"Well I...." It had been a striking difference between clean shaven and bearded Perry. He was cute in that trashy way where his favorite pass time is Call of Duty and he drinks way too much Mountain Dew and wears baggy pants kind of way. She would totally bang bearded Perry. No strings attached.
Lux interjected. "The way you dress and present yourself." Perry thought of the phrase What does assuming do? Makes an ass out of u and I, but then remembered Lux was non-binary and might have knowledge of non-binary symptoms. "You dress like a boy often."
"And," Alex lifted a finger, "Told me you like how the title King sounds better than Queen."
"Yeah but you called me a King before and I hated it so..." Perry stuck her tongue out at them.
"Okay, alright." Alex raised his hands in surrender. "This isn't some weird gender intervention, whatever makes you happy babe."
Lux shrugged again. "Honestly, whatever makes you most comfortable."
"I just don't like thinking about it..." Perry fiddled with her hands.
"I love thinking about it." Lux grinned sympathetically. "If you need anything ever you can talk to us okay?"
Perry nodded. God, friends could be a pain in the ass huh? Especially ones who cared.
