So, from here on out, She’s a Gent will celebrate and share the experiences and journeys of androgynous and masculine of center folx from all over the world with hopes of helping the next generation better navigate their identities and spaces in the world! While this journey has allowed for me to fully discover all of myself there are still far too many individuals searching for inspiration and resources to help them understand their identity. I’ve morphed my actual lived experiences into a digital platform for the primary purpose of inspiring a younger generation and to also strive to fill a void that still exists in so many industries. My own journey toward discovering my true self grew from cultivating the resources I needed to help me better understand my identity and intersectionality. If there was, then maybe I would’ve come out a lot sooner. In fact, over 20 years ago, there wasn’t much visibility for masculine of center folx. Questions like these weren’t asked when I was growing up. Many people don’t quite understand how a “female” can be masculine of center and don’t think that women should present as masculine.īut let’s think about it… if we all possess these two inherent traits and are constantly trying to find a balance between the two, in all aspects of our lives, wouldn’t it make sense that in certain parts of our identity one trait might be more dominant than another?
However, if these societal constructs are ideas that were created as a form of control but don’t actually exist in the objective reality then why do we continue to perpetuate these stereotypes?īeing a masculine of center female is still a foreign concept to some. Our society has tried to ingrain in us the notion that we must associate these traits with the gender roles of male and female.
