It’s tough to be that what you are not. It has long been thought that ones sex is also ones gender; they are not always the same and aligned. You are from Ottawa, an interesting point able ontario is the new sex-ed curriculum. It teaches about ones sex (body parts) being separate from ones gender (minds feeling). I personally do not feel that my sex and gender are aligned… I consider myself agender as I don’t want to be my assigned gender (male) but I don’t want to be female. I reject any gender associative terms when people refer to me… I hate terms such as uncle, brother, man, etc. I also hate my body… the body of a male but I don’t see myself as female either. It is an unanswerable quandary. There may be underlying reasons to my malignment, associating with my childhood but I cannot seem to figure it out.
Mark thank you for the comment. I’m in a pretty bad state of mind so any conversation helps. That’s interesting. I met another person with a similar feeling of agender. I absolutely love the new curriculum then. Thats encouraging to hear. I’m so glad you know the difference as well. It’s going to take a couple decades before this knowledge is common place but I truly hope we see a different world soon.
I am from O town. Dont wanna go back though. Where abouts are you from? I know you’re a canuck too
And yeah mark its killer. being something else your whole life hiding who you are. I feel bad for caitlyn jenner and these older trans people getting the coursge to come out later in their lives because they had to hide themselves for so long. It sucks but im also glad to see they could self actualize at one point or another.
I’m not shocked at all. What I see is the pain on your face and in your eyes, not your gender preference. Whatever the true you is, keep seeking it. Fuck the opinions of others. You have to find the real you, the person you were born as and could grow into being.
Wow thank you vedura. thank you. your acceptance baffles and confounds me and of course warms my heart. I will continue to seek as long as my heart beats. Not sure how much longer that will be but I’ll seek.
I don’t think having what people see as an ideal body has any effect on who someone is on the inside, so it wouldn’t shock me. I’m glad you’ve been inspired to become who you really are. Any step closer to happiness is a step in the right direction, and it sounds like it’s something you need to do. I think when people torment trans people it’s usually because it makes them uncomfortable – because they have their gender and sexuality set in place and the idea of someone changing their gender somehow threatens that. I know it’s hard to ignore the BS people put you through but those people’s attitudes aren’t worth taking notice of.
thank you so much for the support trix. (: ive been up all night so imma try to get some sleep. mad panic attacks all night. goodnight or goodmornin zzz
