I pretty much just let loose that I was genderfluid on my facebook. After all the comments while I visited my family, of "why would you want to cut off your hair it's so pretty." "why would you want to look like a boy?" after all their comments about my weight & my looks & how I should dress, goddamn I cannot take it anymore. I cannot take being called ma'am or miss everyday of my life. I prefer being refered to as I/we/they/ or she & he(together). I like being multi-gendered. When people tell me you're a girl you cant or shouldnt like or do a b or c, or you cant shop in the guys section, it wipes the smile off my face. I have been holding onto this notion that what I felt was a phase (as I have always been told) that I would just-grow out of it. Nope. I am 25 now guys, & I am fairly certain I know what I want to be. Myself. I am sick of panic & feeling uncomfortable with people assigning me a role I never signed up in. I have no doubt that my mom & her family wont give a damn, but after listening to my dad & his family talk about trans people (the god awful things I had to bite my lip about lemme tell ya what), my sister who still lives @ home cant even tell them she's asexual because they're still telling her she needs to be in a relationship & has a future to look forward to with "the right person" who will surely change her mind about physical relations. Nope. I cannot stand by that. I cant just let it slide. It is wearing me down & upsetting me often. No more. It's time to be comfortable in our own skin. We are fine the way we are damnit & I am still me. People always wondered why when I was younger I referred to people mostly as they....now I know because it's a respect thing for me & for people whose gender comfort levels may be being stomped on constantly. I get it now, the older I get the more I cant stand it. I dont expect a big reaction from my family but I can also see some confused questions coming from parties that have refused to understand for a long time now. But I have nothing much to say except I am the same as I have always been, just more certain about myself & the ingredients for my own happiness & peace of mind. Please respect that or stay away & I'll do the same for you.~ Thank you
