State of flux
Someone wrote…
I feel like I’m in a perpetual state of flux, never knowing where or who I will be next, and not feeling like I fit in with any group because I seem to be everything at once, yet nothing solid enough to put an identity label on. I search for consistency and come up with only change…
What’s your experience?

I can totally relate to what you’re saying here. I have this unsourceable need to have consistency in my life and feel that my identity is a constant thing, and yet I continuously feel the ground shifting under my feet and I can never tell where that leaves me standing. I feel like “genderqueer” might encompass my experience but at the same time I feel like there’s a certain set of criteria I must fill and often I do not feel adequately qualified to claim that or any other real label. I know the labels aren’t really important but I just want some stability in my life and a sturdier foundation on which to relate to people. Defining myself is my way of establishing how to interact with others and I don’t know how to find that for myself within the systems we’ve already created.

Dunno about you folks, but I’ve found solace in the term genderfluid…Genderqueer works for me too, but I like genderfluid because it defines me by my changing and allows for all of that :D
