Today was different from the others. I was born male, and just recently discovered who I am, and who I can be. I’ve been painting my nails for awhile, but today they were this fantastic shade of purple, and someone asked me, out of the blue, “Are you fucking gay?” There was so much hatred in their voice, so much ignorance. How often these two things go hand in hand.
Today was different from the others. Someone kept saying they wanted me to be their friend, and, because I have a fear of rejection, I was conscious of everywhere my fingertips were, I was trying to keep them hidden. I saw that person later, and they asked me about how often I changed the colors. One of my closest friends told me it was weird, that I couldn’t be what I am, I have to be male, or I have to female. But darling, there is an in-between, and that’s what I am. Some random person was completely accepting of my self expression, and someone I trusted wasn’t. Don’t give up on the world yet, we have the chance to make a difference, one beautiful stranger at a time.

Just like there is no age minimum for realizing you are asexual, there is no maximum either. You are never too old to figure out that asexuality is something that feels right to you, and nobody has the right to dismiss your sexuality as “just a natural part of getting older.” Your sexual orientation is valid, you are valid.

Every time I read something where the gender binary is specified, an internal argument happens between the gender nonconforming side of my brain and the grammatically correct side of my brain.
“The Department Head will launch his/her Departmental Surveys next Monday at 9:00 a,m.” is grammatically correct, but I want it to read “The Department Head will launch their Departmental Surveys next Monday at 9:00 a.m.” to be inclusive of all genders.

At the local supermarket, and can’t help but thinking how funny the faces staring at me. Is it something so weird to wear a bit of eyeliner, a black mini-skirt over jeans or an animal print’s dog collar?
