Before everything else, being agender is to be transgender.
\nBeing transgender is when the gender identity assigned at birth doesn\u2019t correspond to who you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be trans is to feel dysphoria.
\nFeeling of gender dysphoria is the incompatibility between your identity and your body, your name or how others perceive you when they can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to see who you really are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Agender is a word for which the text editor give us a red squiggly underline.
\nIt\u2019s not in everyday language, not yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be agender or neutrois means that one doesn\u2019t identify to any gender.<\/strong>
\nThis gender, or more exactly, this absence of gender is part of non-binary gender transidentities (neither 100% feminine nor 100% masculine).<\/span><\/p>\n

Being agender, as far as I am concerned, is over all dysphoria since early childhood.
\nThen the inability to find words in my mother language to express my identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a heavy incomprehension and revolt against the statutes of men and women, patriarchy, sexism, education, the invisibility of non-binary and intersex.
\nBasically, to a majority of our manners.<\/span><\/p>\n

My ideal gender expression is an androgynous appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dress, manhood, makeup, six pack or waxing are words that are not associated with a gender.
\nIn any case, not by me.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be agender is to be invisible, ignored, denied.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s too early to be agender.<\/strong>
\nTo be agender is to be the precursor of a revolution for which the world is not prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n

Agender people are not represented on the media.
\nMany other minorities have gone through this, and it\u2019s to be hoped that they will be after some time.
\nAs binary transgender (F\/M) people are today in rare and good series.
\n[Not to mention: Orange is the new black, Sense 8, The fosters, …<\/strong><\/em>]<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, public figures involved in the MOGAI* brief have been growing.
\nTo finally discover an agender person; Angel Haze<\/strong>.
\nSacred good rap<\/a>, by the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Educating others is a selfish, slow, long, painful and often unsuccessful process.
\nBut that is the basis.
\nDefining terms; transgender, dysphoria, non-binary, …
\nIntroduce name (Charly), pronoun (they\/them), agreements (masculine or neutral) changes, …<\/span><\/p>\n

Faculties of medicine are teeming with non-concerned students.
\nPeople are deeply transphobic, homophobic as well.
\nNever have I heard such violent speeches about us as told by my future colleagues at university.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being transgender means suffering from incompetence and transphobia of our health professionals.
\nEven those who are supposed to help us will often behave the opposite way to that appropriate in our presence. Except that special someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Certainly, today, in the eyes of the world, I do not exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you want to hear it or not.
\nWe are what we are, one day, it will be known.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll have a good scream and then we’ll celebrate with Angel.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when I become a doctor, count on me to be that special someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not hesitate to replace the word agender by other minorities of MOGAI spectrum<\/span><\/p>\n
