I’m akari, but sometimes i feel like presenting as oliver, specifically as my online persona. I’m a woman but sometimes i wanna present to people as male on a different account.

I just assumed everyone was a guy on the internet.

I don't know if this contributes to the conversation as it's almost the polar opposite, but I don't really feel attached to my body or gender at all. I am myself, that is all. I only care about my body in so much as it is the vehicle through which I am able to do the things I enjoy. If I could snap my fingers and swap my gender I would, but that is only because within where I exist many of the things I'd like to do or have would be easier as the opposite gender.

How I look, the space I inhabit, what others may think, doesn't really change anything for me. I am me.

Genderfluid is a thing, so is crossdressing

What is akari? I'm too lazy to look it up and that is not the point in social media in the first place.

Not quite. I have a separate account for Mark, but he’s an alter rather than a persona.
