I'd have much rather...

I'd much rather have been bullied in school for "Haha, is that a guy or a girl? He looks so girlie I can't even tell!" than "Ew, that guy looks like a caveman, who in the world would want to talk to him?"

That's something I thought up when thinking about my old therapist's argument that my personal GID is caused the fact I went through bullying about my extremely caveman-like features, which haven't been considered handsome since 1975. But I don't care about bullying, I can be bullied to the end of time: I just want the bullies to say the things that secretly make me happy. Lady Gaga obviously secretly likes it when people call her a freak or she wouldn't dress the way she does, and I wish I was female-looking to the point the only thing bullies could say is "Is that a man or a woman!?"

Random post, but it makes a point.

Nobody likes being bullied in any case: what about if you were a boy who didn't look 'caveman-ish'? How do you compare that alternative reality to yourself as feminine?

I'd rather agree. If I was back in high school for example. I would rather be teased for looking like a girl or at least the people not quite sure, androgenous. To be looked at as a caveman or vey masculine would be depressing. Why?  Because I want to be seen as as myself, true self inside. If they see me as feminine and so forth then good, that's who I want to be seen as.
