I hear that. My family is extremely religious and growing up......ugh WOW. I was bullied in school even back then and that wasn't nearly as bad as the nineties as I am younger than you.
Knowing martial arts worked as a shield, I only ever got in fights with people who didn't get what that meant and the fights always ended in one swift kick.
But even back then it was odd or unheard of. One difference was I was obsessed with so many boy things I had to hide it to fit in with the girls and I still didn't. In fact oftentimes I found myself sexually attracted to the other girls and had thoughta and feelings no one taught me about and I didn't understand. I felt like a freak. I hated myself. I kissed a girl. People around me hated me.
The whole idea of 'boy things' and 'girl things' is silly anyway, and girls do that shit all the time.
Also yeah it's pretty clear that you've liked girls based plainly on how you've acted on this forum. You have both a sense of women being as if 'The Other' while relating more to men, and that other-ing is how attraction and animosity can form.
It can destroy your life. I had hormone therapy without consent and it was inconsistent and random in waves of getting none for two weeks and then suddenly getting a shit ton like two weeks worth all at once. The adults around me gave NO shits.
So the real problem is moreso how they did it.
Oh I know exactly what you mean. Before knowing I am just intersex I thought I was trans, and suddenly I went from feeling alone like the only one with seeing hundreds of people around me online being seen in the exact same way and expressing the same thoughts I was having. The only thing is I think it's gone to far now, but It was great at first.
You were pretty aggressive about gender roles before this intersex thing, even trying to tell me motherhood would reprogram you into a proper mother.
You also tried to be 'one of the guys' on another website didn't you? You seemed to enjoy that more than playing the part of a woman, a part you seem notably stressed over.
Doesn't it make you uncomfortable at all being called he even a little bit or no? So basically you don't want to deal with people being inconsiderate. I always thought you didn't care either way. I only started calling you she becomes you seem so feminine to me and i don't really think about it.
I'd rather not be interrupting their train of thought, and taking the time to correct every person who does so is exhausting.
It's one thing to have someone in your face about it, it's another to have them misgender by dropping the wrong title. The latter isn't really that bad if their intent doesn't appear otherwise malicious, like ffs it's one letter off. I mostly listen for the -e of he and she.
Yeah I understand what you are saying. Have you ever wondered if you are intersex maybe, like me? There are apparently people who go being like me their entire lives without ever knowing it.
My parts seem to work traditionally in a single direction in spite of my hormonal imbalance. The symptoms are subtler and I've gotten people pregnant before, so by physical or Darwinian standards it is not the case.
People afraid of women who are comfortable with men have tended to see me sort of like a bridge, as it's not 'that gender' while still offering the expectations in social situations you'd expect out of estrogen.
For people afraid of women who need a woman to talk to, I fill an odd niche. Otherwise I seem more capable of getting into female events than your average male, having those who'd still care tend to demonstrate their intolerance more than their surrounding peers to the point of the problem becoming more theirs than mine.
