Major rant, possibly offensive, somewhat graphic: You've been warned.

I don't even know where the hell I'm going with this, and I don't know if it's going to piss anyone off here or not. I don't know where I can vent this in the world as most everyone (not all, but most) is part of it all the same time, and subservient to it at an subconscious level.

Sometimes I just have to say I f***ing hate gender. And with a fiery passion. Men, women, boys, girls, male, female, all of it is evident to me in every single aspect of life. I feel like I'm stuffed in some box that is trapped in a tight, restricted world, where unless your part of that world, your an outcast. While MtFs and FtMs get screwed in gender from both, till and possibly after transition, they can more easily integrate into their gender stream. What happens to those that can't stand gender, where burden, misery, and suffering are attached to be in a world of gender? I'm suffocated by a world where because there is black and white gender standards all around me, and because somehow I will swap in identification from one to the other, sometimes as fit automatically, hence bi-gender/androgyne, I can see both sides. But on the other side of the same coin, it could be my oversensitive behavior, but even when there are women that fire bombshells at guys (while sometimes the reasons are obvious), I still can take offense, and get pissed off at them. I don't have to worry about that ->-bleeped-<- around guys, but if I am feeling identification with the female side, I then may have to still worry about male treatment, which then creates stress as a result.

Through in that males and the obvious sex drive, and then some women that are in hate of men cause of it, because I am in that bind as I have it, it makes my life living hell cause of how nature deals the freaking cards out. I get a lot of urges to be in bed lately with someone, possibly another woman, and then I have to worry that I'm going to do what other idiot guys do; screw and then run. So am I just a pig cause of dumbass f***ing nature?? I don't know.

It could be I am male and feeling pissed at the female gender, or that I'm in the middle, seeing super nuclear-warfare between genders. It's an exhausting way to live, and life can suck when you stand on the freaking sidelines a lot of the time. It seems like something nice, but something scary at the same time to have a world where everyone was the same "gender", where there weren't such differences, and everyone was equal. To be who they are, with no boundaries of masculine, feminine or anything. But that world shall never come, it can't because of how nature has constructed human beings, and consequently other biological species too.

Regardless of what too, I know I'm also part of the same gendered bull->-bleeped-<- out there, conditioned by society, and the effects of sex hormones on me regardless which way I go, so there's no way out of this cage. And because everyone is part of this world, they unconsciously defend it, therefore giving me very little venting room, and therefore I become a ticking time bomb of anger.

Maybe I will feel better later, but this whole thing makes our world a pretty ->-bleeped-<-ty place to live in imho.

There is always a third, fourth and more path.  They take effort, but they are there.  Lots of people live outside the borderlands, out on the perimeter, check it out.

Hopefully I can explore in the next few months to find one of those paths. Because as it is, I've felt like social isolation a couple times in the past hour or so, so I don't have to deal with crap.

Social isolation will only make you unbearably lonely. You hate that already.

Then you'll still have crap to deal with. Try some other way, please.

Besides, crap is a pretty regular visitor for everyone.

True true true, you know me for sure there Nichole. I'll probably have to get creative to find a way around the norms of society/gender, and set myself apart entirely from it all, without isolating myself in the process.

Are you saying you can't even imagine an ideal situation where you think you would be happy?

Possibly so, without even realizing it. I have a hard time imagining myself as happy in stuff that I could imagine myself in before. It's depression speaking I'm sure. Fear is also a prime card in my life too, preventing me from enjoying many things too :-\.

Do you see a counselor, go to church, have friends?  Isolation is not a good thing.

Yeah, I'll be seeing a counselor tomorrow. I do have friends I talk to online a lot, but I haven't seen anyone in person for a while, since they all live at least 45 minutes away :-\

I'm a bit concerned if you can't even imagine a situation where you think you'd be happy; but I'm glad you'll be getting some counseling.  But everybody needs actual friends.  Make some new ones.  It's not that hard.  Go to your nearest neighborhood bar and just hang out.  It may take a few times for the regulars to get used to you, but people go to bars because they're lonely.  I don't mean a cool club, or a dance bar.  Just your nearest local neighborhood dive bar where people go to drink and talk.  Sit at the bar, order a draft, look around, smile at people, and see what happens.

I could do that, they're even for in the day right? Only time I've been to a bar is for night events several months ago.

Actually, as any real barfly will tell you, mid afternoon is the best time.

The local dive bar I go to opens at 7AM.  Another thing to consider is to find a place that has kareoke.  The songs and choice of songs gives people common ground to talk.  I'm a bad singer with a tin ear, but even I know certain songs well enough to get the lyrics and pacing right, with help from seeing them on the monitor.  I sing songs that have meaning for me, and some people think I'm good.  But this makes people think they know me a little already, before we've ever even spoken.  Now, I pass as a woman pretty easily, but not when people are checking me out closely enough to decide if they want to hit on me, and certainly not when I'm singing Turn the Page or We're an American Band.  But still, I have made alot of friends in the last year, going to the local bar, where they have kareoke at night.
