How I feel, gender wise, seems to shift quite often for me. Sometimes even passing a mirror is shocking because my brain is expecting to see a different "version" of me. I'm only recently understanding this about myself but honestly I have felt this way my entire life. I thought I had to hide "me" though, because what the hell was I? There seemed to be a place for others in the lgbt rainbow, but what if I identified with all of it? Anyway, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one - it was getting pretty lonely in the taboo closet!

I do think its just a phase for me, I sincerly hope I'm not offending anything in saying that, but once I settled on "gender queer", I felt much, much better about my "situation". I tried racing through transition once and failed miserably, I'm quite happily gender queer (for) now. I take AAs and I can be whatever I want from one day to the next. For me, it was about taking the pressure off to be anything but myself.
