I am who I am

What It Means To Be Agender
Pride flags

This is a gender term that not many people are familiar with but it is what is am, or rather I am a specific version of this called neutrois or agender. This means that I don't identify with any of the genders other people do and I'm just me. I exhibit characteristics of both the male and female genders. Yes, there are only two physical genders but gender is more than physical. Gender is at the core of every person on earth.

My gender story starts when i was born. I was, of course, born with male genitalia. But I always felt more comfortable in dresses and more effeminate colors. Up till I was 14 I was getting more and more sure I was born the wrong gender. When I was 14 I came out to a select few as a transgender. But after that I started to realize I wasn't really a woman either. I started doing research into what it was called when someone felt like either both or neither gender. I came across an article about this person who said they were neutrois and that word intrigued me so I read it and realized that it described me perfectly. Neutrois, or agender, means that a person is a culmination of both genders and neither one is prevalent or dominant.

This article is me coming out to the public. I have never told anyone about this except one person. I want to be as honest with everyone as I can and not telling the whole truth is lying by omission. I am openly neutrois/agender and not afraid to admit it anymore. When I first realized what I was I was really scared of what people would say about me being the son of a pastor and a christian and saying this "nonsense" about this "made up" new gender. So I hid it till I met my other half aka my wife. I told her about it and she was totally accepting of me and very supportive. My wife is in fact a transgender. She is a man in a woman's body. Yes, I know what the bible says about there only being two genders but I believe that when God said that in the bible He was only talking about physical genders.

I honestly could care less if you guys accept me as I am or even read this article. I can at least say I am no longer hiding this from anyone. I am Jordan Edward Strable and I am neutrois/agender. I am happy with who I am and what you say doesn't affect that as much as i bet you think it does. I am sorry and I am praying for you. God bless you. See you next week.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
