Character Study- Aerin Michaels
An original character created by sj@advancing the gay agenda
Aerin Michaels was born Mackenzie Marie Michaels. Mackenzie Marie is their dead name, meaning that they no longer answer to it and to be called by it makes them extremely uncomfortable. Aerin is a 17 year old asexual, agender, panromantic person. Though they have no true gender preference, they like the they/their/them pronouns. They don’t mind any specific gender when it comes to clothing, and will wear both stereotypical male clothing and stereotypical female clothing. Since they were born female, they most often wear female clothing because of their family, though always with a binder on because Aerin enjoys confusing people by appearing androgynous. To them, gender does not matter at all, to the point where they almost have no concept of gender beyond biological organs. Aerin shows no interest in sex for the most part,and would much rather just date someone without the need for sexual contact. Aerin enjoys being romantically involved and gender does not matter in the case of relationships either. It is not that Aerin is sex repulsed, or that something happened to them as a child, they would just rather not have sex.
That’s the beauty of Aerin. They know exactly what they want and what they mean and understands that others have different ideas but will not stand for gross ignorance as a tool for hatred. This has gotten Aerin into many fights, because people are always invalidating the sexualities of their friends, and they will always fight for the people who helped them understand themselves. Aerin’s family makes up for most of the people who invalidate Aerin and their friends.
Agender means a lack of gender identity. It fits under the umbrella terms “nonbinary”, meaning not of two, and “transgender”, meaning being a different gender identity than that which is dictated by your genitalia. Aerin is a firm believer in the idea that everyone has a slightly different gender identity, just as we all have different sexualities, gender make ups, and ideas and brain structures. In summary, they usually say that humans are all “special little snowflakes”
