Neither Guy Nor Woman : Meet the Agender



"I didn&rsquot seriously want nipples," Cory stated, jogging a hand by a mop of bleached blond hair. Born feminine, 23- year - aged Cory works by using the pronoun co&mdashand asked that we refer to co that way, way too &mdashand obtained elective surgical treatment to remove co's breasts previous yr. But co is not transgender in the traditional sense, transitioning amongst feminine and male. Co desires neither gender. So co joined the ranks of the agender&mdashor, in a a lot more florid new coinage, the gender neutrois.

"You read products on Tumblr about how us nonbinary folks just want to be distinctive snowflakes," described Cory, who is particular but made of sturdier things than a snowflake. Was Cory's wish to eliminate co's secondary sexual traits a ploy for attention ? A reaction to internalized sexism? The result of sexual repression? "I tackled all that things with my therapist. We arrived to the conclusion that I was not alright with this aspect of my body. Irrespective of wherever that came from, it was there." Co has neither breasts nor nipples now.

"It is so great," Cory mentioned. &ldquoFor me this is what neutral seems like and feels like.&rdquo
