In Conclusion - My Personal Thoughts and Backstory

This is where I bring this blog to a close. I know one or two of you mentioned me continuing it, but my online life lies more in Livejournal and Tumblr than in Blogger. Besides, I'd rather leave these issues to people who are further invested in it than I am. If you would like to continue reading and learning more about trans people, here are a couple good sites to frequent: The Transadvocate and Genderqueer Identities.

There really is no reason for my posting this except I find it absolutely hilarious. Cookies if you get it.

Ever since I was a child, I've dabbled in blurring the lines of the gender binary. When my brother, cousin, and I would play "make believe" or "pretend" I always acted as a male character. This continued into my teenage and adult life in my roleplaying (which is creating a character and acting/reacting as they would to various situations; think kind of like improv writing or acting). I solely write as male characters. In the live action roleplay I participate in, I have two male characters. When I write, I love, love, love gender bending. I have several characters of an ambiguous gender, much to my father's chagrin.

As for myself, I have a very complicated gender identity. Well, not terribly so. I fall under "genderqueer" in that I feel male-minded, but female-bodied. I am (mostly) okay with this. I only have one friend (out of the few I've "come out" to) who treats me like a guy and uses male pronouns and I absolutely love it. Will I ever use testosterone and get surgery? Probably not. I don't need to conform to a certain gender code to feel happy with who I am.

  

Thanks again for all of your wonderful comments and for reading. I wish you all the best as we go through finals. Merry Christmas! Have a happy holiday season!
