Can’t make this shit up
So.
I had someone tell me that it was okay for me to come out as transgender the other day. That it was accepted and people would be okay with my transition. That would be so much easier on people if I just picked a side and stuck to it. People would be able to use right pronouns and call me the proper. Like it was ever an issue before. I was completely floored. I am or never thought about transitioning. Not that I have anything against it. Just not in my cards.
I do not see myself as ever being one or the other. I don’t label either. Some would say non-binary or genderfliud but to me, I doesn’t really pick. I don’t look at clothes and go boy shirt girl jeans. I see clothes. Sure, some days, I wake up and feel more like a boy than I do a girl. Happens more often than not that I pick the male side than girl. I’ve just always felt more comfortable that way. I grew up as a tomboy. Boy clothes and comics are more my style.
Yet, there are days I like throwing on my leggings, wearing my hair down and putting on eyeliner. Okay, even when I do that, I’m not the picture of feminine but it’ll never happen. Acting girly, swapping gossip and getting manicures just isn’t my thing. I’m not interested in it.
But to hear someone tell me to pick a side to make someone else’s life easier? Nah, chill. That definitely won’t happen either. I am me. I’ll wear my beanie’s, scuffed up Vans and skinny jeans. I’ll rock my sweaters, leggings, and tell you to suck it. I will not pick a side because my gender is none of your damn business. I am comfortable being both. My family is okay with me being both. You don’t get a say.
You want to get my attention, call me by my name. Call me dude. Just don’t ever tell me to change to make someone else’s life easier. I’ll make yours harder.
