My heart is askew
submitted by Dinah, the model.
“I’ve never thought of myself concretely as a “she” as far as inner dialogue goes, although I’ve stopped short of thinking of myself as a male. My “I don’t know what makes a person male or female” thought could be simple disdain for gender roles, and it could also be denial and repression of myself as a gender variant person. Whoooo am I?!!! For now, I think of myself as a female-bodied person who lives with disregard for heteronormative standards of femininity. But maybe that’s because they don’t apply to me… if you catch my drift, ha. :) “

That fits me like a glove. I’m frustrated not knowing what that means.

…Please do not take this the wrong way, but I really want to give you a huge hug right now. I think it is the smile, and the general warmth shown in the picture, and your comments about it.

Can we be best friends? I’ve been trying to figure out how to say the exact same thing, and you did it much more eloquently than I could have. :)
“I think of myself as a female-bodied person who lives with disregard for heteronormative standards of femininity. But maybe that’s because they don’t apply to me…”

Hooray for not being alone! I am also on the same page with you guys…It’s not that I’m a boy, but gee…I really just…no. Female-bodied, but not really a girl.

You seem to’ve put your finger on how quite a few of us feel. :) I love your smile and your crooked heart! (Are those… chili pepper lights??)

I’m a male who grew up with out a sturdy masculine father figure around. I am much more interested in females. My “Y” chromosome didn’t give me much to work with, but I feel attractive… A male lesbian? I think so.
