Cambot! (You're on!) Gypsy! (Oh my stars!) Tom Servo! (Check me out.) Croooooooow (I'm different!) ... Fuck, wrong rollcall. Hey Paradox, I've always wondered this and seeing as how you too watched the show... Ironbite-how does He(Joel or Mike) eat and breath? It's just a show, you should really just relax.

Guys, this has been up for over twelve hours. Why has no one said, "didn't know you were that into the LGBT scene Nappy..."?

That's a great story... It made me teary and everything. I suppose I'll share a bit about myself, though I don't completely understand it. I've always been a little different, I guess. Recently I realized that I may be transgendered, at the very least. The problem is that I swing back and forth, from wanting to be different to being completely indifferent. That, coupled with my perpetual doubt that I'm ever correct, leads me to have identity crises every once in a while. If I'm unhappy with myself, I fear I'm just being a hypochondriac, or wanting to be different. If I'm indifferent or happy, I fear that I'm surpressing myself or that I've got a couple of different personas that I shift to... Which I wouldn't care about, but I'm always happiest when I'm feeling transgendered (kind of weird, eh?). In the end, I don't know what I am, though I hope I can find out more. It's a special hell when you don't know what you are, and can't stop frantically trying to figure it out. I guess the best conclusion has already been said. Though I'm not as sure as nutcase, this little quote is almost exactly how I feel sometimes: I found, then, that a full acceptance of myself could only be achieved by recognizing I was different than average, but there was no need to change. I realized I was neither male nor female, or maybe I was both, and there was nothing wrong with this.

most warm-fuzzy-feelingest thing ever Your post made me all teary eyed and happy. I'm pretty fluid myself when it comes to my sexual orientation and gender. I'm sexually and romantically attracted to both girls and other guys. I tend to learn more toward guys, so I usually describe myself as a "mostly gay guy". However, the label "gay" doesn't really "feel" right, yet neither does "bisexual" (or "straight", obviously). I don't particularly consider myself psychologically male or female, either. I'd pick male if I had to choose a box to put myself in--but I'd rather not.

Nutcase for learning that to be loved one must first love themselves. Shykid for abandoning traditional definitions of gender and identity. As long as you are happy then to thine own self be true!

Cambot! (Show Yourself!) Gypsy! (I'm not ready!) Tom Servo! (Hi-Ho-There.) Croooooooow (That's one 'o'!) ... Fuck, wrong rollcall. for the Deep 13 era fans... --- Bisexual, but as I live in the South I often identify as "gay enough" because it doesn't matter if you like one guy or a million, down here, you're a fag either way. Generally masculine but will femme it up in the Oz for fun. *edited for idiotic spelling. lol*

earlier on a gave a little mention of me being L and T and not wanting to be T. thought i should go into details. post everything transsexual but i wouldve never chosen being trans if id had any semblance of an option, every day i still wake up im still nearly crippled by self hate for the body iv got, vagina or not its a mans. i felt like this for nigh on ever, its a little better now that i have had some facial work and i get a little less abuse out in public but its still there, i think that if i wasnt 6'2, broad, big-footed and fat it would be a little bit easier still but i can only fix one of those things. no matter how nice i try to make my body/ prison/ thing the cold reality seeps in and i'll never escape it. iv thought of suicide a lot and im pretty sure its how im going to leave the world because my problems cant be fixed, only taken until i cant take it any more. i know a lot of other transpeople and most times i see them i ge extremly upset because they manage to be so much better than me in every way. i try to be as femme as i feel and im like a gorilla in drag. so i stick myself in this rut of a dykey looking freak, partly because i like it but mostly because i cant get any closer to how i feel without being a joke. shit, crying now. sorry.
lesbianism iv no problems with, though i wish i coulda stayed bi. lesbians on the other hand... they see through my crappy atrtempts to be woman and see a man, a tranny or a drag queen. and they laugh mostly.

The thing about this is, people come in all different shapes and sizes, regardless of gender. There are tall, large women, thus born, with big feet and square jaws. There are small men, thus born, who could pass for women through no greater effort than dressing in feminine clothing – and yet a lot of those men are happy living as males, even as the larger women are happy living as females. Transpeople are just like everyone else in that some recognize human variation and accept it, whereas others aren’t nearly so generous. Yours is simply a less common, but no less legitimate, variation of the female form. But a truly widespread recognition of that fact is likely a long ways off. We simply haven’t evolved enough as a society to where atypical people are accepted without any sort of fuss about what pre-existing niche they’ll fill. And besides that, there’s always the possibility that other people don’t see you as negatively as you see yourself. I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but maybe you should consider additional counseling (by an experienced, LGBT-friendly professional) and even medication. There are clearly reasons you’ve chosen to stay alive this long – aspects of your life you enjoy so much that they’ve outweighed the pain you hope to escape. Stay plugged in to those things.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I haven't come out as bi, but it's occurred to me that the only people who I think would be remotely surprised about it would be my fundie family members (and they'll only find out if I find a girl I want to be with). The other day at work, we had a party rental and there were a number of young mothers there. One of my lifeguards asked me what I thought about one of them, and we spent a few minutes talking about hot women. There's no way he's the only one who's picked up on it.
*hugs for Xaria* I wish I had something to say to make it all better.

I think you just summed up most of my fears. I'm going to edit this because I don't want to give the impression that I'm looking at suicide. Xaria's post knocked me for a loop.
