With a hop and a skip, Gaystripe arrives at the scene. He doesn't notice the crowd, instead he simply just slips backstage and waves to the workers, grinning as he holds a crescent roll in his paw. A stagehand approaches him and takes the roll, and he screams.

Stagehand: Well, you're late. This is mine now.

Gaystripe: THAT'S MINE! And no I'm not! *checks watch, and he realizes that he doesn't have one* Whatever. Where's my coffee?

Stagehand: *chomping down on the roll* I don't know, but you gotta go onstage basically right now. Everyone's waiting, the graphic's already up, and the lights are flashing and bright. You gotta hurry up!

Gaystripe: Chill, it sounds like you're quoting the admin's writing. Let me get my coffee and my hair gel and then I'll go out

Stagehand: You better hurry! The crowd's been waiting!

Gaystripe waves his paw as if to dismiss the topic and the poor stagehand walks off, fuming. Gaystripe almost laughs but he turns and guzzles a nearby coffee, soon enough cringing because it's not his classic flavor.

Soon after, he grabs his hair-gel and he applies it as he usually does, nodding at himself in the mirror. After a little bit of time-wasting, he eventually waves at the stagehand and the lights flare. He twirls out onstage and the crowd goes wild.

Gaystripe: WELCOME TO THIRTY DAYS OF PRIDE WITH ME, YOUR WONDERFUL HOST, GAYSTRIPE

Gaystripe: Today, day 18, is TRIGENDER PRIDE!

A collection of cats in the front begin to scream excitedly, throwing roses at him. He bows and takes the roses, lightly laying them down on the stage as he looks back at the crowd, noticing that there are a few cats missing from their usual spots. 

However, these cats reappear, and they appear as if they've only gotten popcorn refills. He supposes that they probably used it all up in the first part when he wasn't there and he turns away, trying not to laugh, before continuing.

Gaystripe: "Trigender" literally translates as triple gender or three genders. Trigender cats experience exactly three gender identities, either simultaneously or varying between them. These identities can be male, female, or any non-binary identity, such as intersex or plain non-binary.

Gaystripe: This is similar to bigender, which was the previous chapter, but it's not quite the same. It has the same concept, in which someone experiences more than one gender, but bigender cats experience two, whereas trigender cats experience three.

Gaystripe: Just like the last time, they may also identify as genderfluid, which describes any cat whose gender identity varies over time if you don't remember. 

Cat in the Crowd: Is this like last time, where they can experience dysphoria?

Gaystripe: Yep! Some trigender cats experience dysphoria, though of course, not all do. Once again, don't assume that all do or that all don't, because it depends on the cat. Additionally, some will undergo transitional surgery to feel more comfortable with themselves.

Cat in the Crowd: How about dressing and presentation?

Gaystripe: Similarly to last time, those who are trigender may want to dress a certain way in order to try and portray some or all of the genders they experience. Some may want to scale their outfits and style toward female or non-binary but have more masculine features.

Gaystripe: However, some prefer to dress more androgynously. Though, some still prefer to change their presentation depending on how they feel they want to dress or present, so be sure not to assume anything by someone's presentation.

Gaystripe: Along with this, those who are trigender do not have a specific sexuality. They may be straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, anything that you can think of, they might be. Again, gender identity doesn't have anything to do with someone's sexuality.

Stagehand: Gaystripe! There isn't a QueerClan cat!

Gaystripe: What?? I know that. Tell the admins to go fix that though, they're missing so much... anyways, I think that's just about all for this day of 30 Days of Pride!

The cats in the audience look almost frightened and then they stamp their paws furiously.

Crowd: Nooo! That was barely anything! 

The audience throws their popcorn at him, and he easily just eats it. He laughs and then ducks backstage and motions at the cats who are working backstage to come on out. Tons of tired stageworkers flood the stage and the cats in the crowd cheer.

Gaystripe: Are you ready to party now?

Audience: YES!

Gaystripe: Anyways... see you all tomorrow on 30 Days of Pride!

Audience: BYYYEEE!

The cats onstage practically leap into the crowd, hurriedly flickering a few switches, and then the party begins, lights flashing around and various colored streamers flying.
