FTM starter at Chaturbate

[d_izzy]

Hello everyone!
I am not new to camming but was earlier streaming at Chaturbate under my sex not gender (I am FTM and was closeted until last year).
Recently I decided to come back to CB under my real gender identity and have a few questions:
1. My ID isn't changed to my identity (it is stated F in 'sex') and will there be any problems with it?
2. I want to put on no nude shows (I am an artist and have a lot of ideas to entertain both me and users) but in 2019 there was a problem with my FTM friend who tried to stream as a FTM trans person but got reported a lot because members expected to see IDK what. So he is in permanent ban now. I have no surgery, not top, nor bottom. But I want to put on no nude shows even in privates. Is there still a problem with members who report a streamer for not fitting their expectations?
3. I look quite gender-neutral and can rock all gendered clothes, skirts included. Won't I be reported for being in the wrong category if I wear a skirt or 'girly' (sorry for that) clothes? I can't say I have any 'masculine' features, more androgynous, and position myself as a femboy most of the time. I also love make-up and often appear with make up (hardening my features to look more masculine but applying eyeshadow in different colors).
Please help me, I don't want to perform under my sex (because I have a different gender) but I really like the platform and want to become a part of community again.

And sorry if I tag it not right, I tried to understand the site tags but maybe failed.

Hi, the short answer is that you can use "Trans(Non-binary)" and dress however you want to dress and be whatever you want to be.

Regarding your ID, there are a few things you should know. It doesn't matter what gender is specified on it and what you choose to display on the platform, but if you go through significant physical changes your ID will become invalid and you will be asked to provide a new one. The most important thing is that if you, at any point, make a legal change to your identity you should inform CB and wait for instructions to re-verify yourself before uploading any new ID--otherwise you will be banned.

About streaming with your friend, that's not gonna happen--don't even think about trying to verify him on your account--you'll be banned. In fact, never verify any other person directly on your account--there are "guest accounts" that you can use to stream together with other models.

There are no rules about you having to get nude--go only as far as you're comfortable with. Just be clear and upfront about it, especially if somebody would be taking you pvt. If you use #nonude and specify it in your profile, that would be helpful to reinforce the message.

Now, about the 'gender identities', don't think of them as such but more like 'categories' that enable users to land in rooms they would actually want to see and engage. So the following is not my opinion on gender or anything, just how I think CB addresses it and what users expect from each category.

I think that CB doesn't care about what you pick as long as you don't gather a significant amount of reports--they wouldn't even prompt you to change it for just a few.

So, these are the characteristics I have observed the models in each category have. Models in the 'Women' and 'Men' categories have gender-specific genitalia and mostly identify and present as females or males on their streams--so mainly cis women and cis men.

For everything else in between there's the "Trans" category--of course the word doesn't cover everything that is being put there--it is an over-simplification and it comes in 3 flavors. "Transfemme" and "Transmasc" are usually used by models who are trans women and trans men or are presenting (emphasis on presenting, visuals matter a lot) themselves as feminine or masculine respectively. And the last "Trans" flavor is "Non-binary" and here goes whatever, not saying it in a derogatory tone, but anybody can stream in that category. Of course you will find actual non-binary people and also people who don't fit the other categories, but I mostly see it being used by cis women who may profit from some related play or something.

Hope it helps at least a bit.

Apologies as this turned out to be much longer than I expected. Again, nothing official but merely observations. Please, if anybody knows better, do say.

Edit: I forget to say that all models under the "Trans" category are displayed together--you have to actually go inside a room to see what kind of "Trans" the model is.

Sadly, I can't go through those changes because of my health so my ID won't be changing for a long time.

I wasn't going to stream with him, this was just an example of user behavior towards a person with same genitals and gender as me in 2019.

Thank you for your info about non-binary, that might help me a lot. But I can still ask to address me as he/him, right? Sorry for asking maybe stupid questions. ^^"

Better to look dumb for asking than remain dumb for not. Anyway, I'd say it is a valid question, not a stupid one

Yes, you can ask the users to address you as you prefer. It is your room and, within the rules, you can do whatever you want or not at any time at your sole discretion.
