The appreciation of all of me
Someone wrote…
I’m AFAB, but I’ve never felt particularly attached to the notion of myself as a girl/woman, or to the notion of any one particular gender – as applied to myself – at all.
Some days I feel slightly more feminine or masculine, but most of the time I fall somewhere else on the gender spectrum, or completely outside it. However, I find myself attracted mostly to gay men, or bisexual men who tend to lean more towards homosexuality. While I feel completely comfortable with my body and my physical appearance, it is rather discouraging to think that it – being obviously biologically female – lowers the odds of someone I’m attracted to being attracted back to me practically to zero (living in a conservative country where a significant part of the population does not realise or accept that it is possible to be anything other than cishet doesn’t help either).
I just wish that for once, someone could appreciate me in all of my maleness, femaleness and queerness.
What’s your experience?
