Came Out As Agender!

Okay, so my best friend girlfriend (call her Nellie) now, came up to me at lunch.

To give you some backround, yesterday I wrote a note with the word 'agender' on it, along with my preferred pronouns (they/them). I gave them to her and told her not to open it until the next period and to do some research. Lunch is the only time I see her in school, so I wouldn't see her until the next day.

So today she says, "[name], I was worried you were anorexic or suicidal or something and it turns out you're just agender? You scared me!"

I was almost crying with relief because I had been scared she would think I was doing it for attention.

She then added. "Seriously, you could murder the world and I would be your friend." She then paused. "Well, I guess to murder the world you'd have to murder me too, and yourself, but SCREW logic I'm trying to be comforting!"

I asked her if she had done research and she said,

"I already knew what agender was, silly! [Name], I spend all my time on the internet looking for people to comfort. You think I don't know stuff like that?"

I smiled and shrugged, and she gave me a hug that lasted forever.

Another friend of mine (bisexual) came up to us and was like, "So what's up?"

We talked about things, and then I told Nellie that I wouldn't mind if she told anyone else, I just was too nervous to tell anyone myself.

And our friend was like, "What?"

"They're agender."

Our friend got that confused look I wear in algebra: "That's...when you're neither gender, right?"

"Yeah."

"Agh, I can't keep up with all these terms. You'll have to remind me all the time, sorry."

I can relate, I have problems with memory myself. I smile.

"I'm okay with that."
