Expressing Myself
Someone wrote…
I was born with a female body and a mixed mind. I consider myself both man and woman, but I also consider myself genderless.
The biggest problem I have is expressing myself outwardly. My feminine side gets upset when someone mistakes me as a man, but my masculine side is offended when people view me as just a woman. The world would be so much better off if we were all born genderless and open minded.
What’s your experience?

I get uncomfortable when trans/queer/genderless people start saying “the world would be better if all people were like me…….”
so similar to the way that straight and cisgender folks act like THEIR identity is the superior one and the one everybody should aspire to.
instead of mandating that “all people should be X,” how ’bout we try to make space for everybody, and accept that our challenges are valid and give us something to work toward overcoming? also I deeply believe trans/queer people need to be partnering with other marginalized groups (people of color, people with disabilities, poor people). instead of wishing away our differences, let’s find strength in them and use them to build movements for real justice
