This makes me

Someone wrote…

Recently I have realized I am female but I am not a woman. I don’t hate my body, even though I’ve been teased by my entire life for being too “masculine” or too big or too loud. I’m not really sure what this makes me, but I am perfect in the context of my own existence.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
