Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I have posted a new blog post here, I post on Face Book several times a day! In fact this is something I posted to Face Book, I just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost. I think it's kind of important. My FB friend Leahnora Laurelei Isaak posted a wonderful video that I wanted to re-share. It's about a child physically born as a girl, who from a very young age felt she was a boy. I hope it embeds correctly below.
I am in therapy because of childhood and family trauma issues. But I am largely happy with myself, just wish I could get unstuck in some areas I still seem to be stuck in. But it struck me odd that when I started my therapy one of the very first things my counselor asked if I was having gender issues, I don't know why, or if that is just a standard question but my response was no. I am male, always have been always will be. Sometimes I have thought it might be cool to do a Freaky Friday type switch to see what being female felt like, but I am happy being me. I also am far more attracted to women than I am to men. (although I am willing to admit a small attraction that most straight males aren't, I don't think I'd ever act on it as it is very minor and for me sex isn't a minor one night type thing, but part of a deep relationship) I am not into sports like most males, I don't care. I am probably more into artsy stuff than most males, I don't care. Although it was hard growing up, I was often called sissy or fag, etc. because I didn't really fit in, I never have, and that hurt deeply. But perhaps that experience is part of why I am so pro LGBT, I don't care what people are apart from happy and feeling good about themselves, as they are. That's the important thing for me, for people to feel happy and feel good no matter what their gender, orientation, skin color, or any other factor that makes them unique, different and wonderful. The world is better with more unique, different and wonderful not less!
