Who am I?
I’m a cool kid-sized adult, small enough to fit into most tight spaces, making me portable and efficient. By day, I do geeky stuff like work in the web-tech industry. By night, after my futile attempts to sleep lead me nowhere, I write this blog, read other blogs, devour LGBTQIA books, and try to satiate my drive for information in any way possible. I have the most amazing significant other, but sadly no puppy yet. In our free time we rock climb at the local rock climbing gym, and miraculously we have also managed to wake up at 7am twice a week to go to yoga class – for an entire year! My addictions are chocolate of the dark variety, and Rockband.
If you poke around the site enough you’ll find out more juicy details. Or you can always ask. I love questions, both making them and answering them. Oh, and leave some comments along the way! Just not these.
What is Neutrois?
You’re here reading Neutrois Nonsense, and you probably know what Nonsense is (or at least think you know) but Neutrois is still a befuddling and mysterious word. Neutrois is my gender, and this is how I explain it.
A Few Definitions
To fully understand my identity, you probably also need to be familiar with some particular labels, each with its own particular explanation. Just in case you are new to this whole LGBTQ or Transgender or Asexual or Whatever world, you can start with this short list of terms, then move on to questions and clarifications of more specific terms.
My Transition
I initially began this blog to document my gender transition, and though since then I’ve written about much, much more, a hefty number of posts outline the path I’ve taken. My journey is still a work in progress.
FAQs
Chances are you still have unanswered questions. I try my best to answer the ones I get, though sometimes I just pretend to know. Right now I’m working on a FAQ section might help you out, but since it’s not ready yet, you can check out the Resources page in the meantime. If that’s not enough, you can badger me individually.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I just discovered your blog, and I absolutely love it. I also want to congratulate you on your surgery going so well, and I hope you’re feeling better.
Oh, I forgot to ask: Would you allow me to make a link to your site? I really do enjoy your blog, and I would love to recommend it to others via my own blog. Pending your approval, of course.
Hi Meike – I’m very glad you found the blog and you’re enjoying it. Of course, feel free to post links to it anywhere else, or reference it in any way. I guess the whole point of it is to share the information for others, just like they did for me. Also ask me any questions anytime!
Thanks, will do!
Wow!!! I LOVE your open honesty all over the internet promoting and trying to educate about non-binary genders. I’ve only recently heard of the term “neutrois,” and pretty much instantly fell in love with it. While I can’t say that I’m neutrois, there’s something extremely attractive about it as a gender identity that fits me better than anything else I’ve heard. Thank you for sharing. THANK YOU! I’ll be sure to check back regularly
THANK YOU for your very kind words. I’m glad you stumbled onto something useful (and a little concerned that I’m all over the internet, but I guess that’s good right?).
Neutrois is a tricky word with lots of definitions floating out there, so take from it what fits, and we can make up the rest as we go. You are very welcome here and I am always open to questions or conversations of any kind.
I’m the girl with the black bow from the Americorps group today, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for such an inspiring presentation. As a member of the queer community myself, I really appreciated hearing your reflections about your childhood in Mexico City as well as your life now here in San Francisco. I saw that you climb at MC as well; there is a group of us that climb there 3X/week from Americorps. Perhaps we can all meet up sometime!
