I'm right in my head.  I'm not quite right in a lot of other people's though

Me too. 

Jen say's it's alright to let the topic drift. I think that's a pretty Feak'n cool level to be on.

Most genius is acceptable because it can be stated in such a way the it can be understood to whatever degree of intelligence it is being used at.

Us freak'n genius always run the risk of sounding like just so much bull->-bleeped-<- because freak'n is a level that is hard for some to work with.

When I say things and people look at me like I'm stupid, I have to remind them that I'm working on an Aristotle level, so of course they don't understand...

Genius like you're talking about is never appreciated because it's over everybody's heads .

LOL

I guess the whole freak'n point of the thread was to have someone tell me that being a freak is okay. Thanks 

I once got myself straight in my head...then I found out my whole head was warped.

And espo, whatever made you think it wasn't OK to be a freak?  What do you want to be...normal??

And Pica Pica...classic.  Kudos

You so belong here.

The more I look at the world the more I see how warped it really is.  So my head must have been straight all this time.

The more I realize how warped the world is, the more I understand why. Never go straight when you can go forward.

You just made my day with this tshirt. I must have it :O

Anyway. I think the concept of androgyny has rocked my world even more than transgender. I was so excited when I came out as trans, thinking my life's problems were solved, until I realized even though I physically pass as male, there are soo many things I can't do. It's not that I'm not "man" enough. I just, have both very feminine and very masculine characteristics. And, I love it. I love every bit of my personality so much that all I was to do is embrace all of it. I've decided to accept that I am and always will be physically and physiologically female - XX chromosomes, female anatomy, female hormones. I won't do anything to change that. But I am either both woman and man, or I am neither. If that makes sense.

I allowed myself to put on make up for the first time since January this past weekend. I went out like that, with my mohawk and male clothing. Yeah, I got a lot of stares, but I looked like a punk dyke. I felt at home in my own body as much as I do when I reflect a more masculine side of my personality.

Sometimes I feel so connected with my female birthname, and other times I feel a connection to my chosen male name. I use both interchangably depending on my mood. I don't correct anyone on gender pronouns. If I'm refered to as a male, I'm okay with it and same if I'm refered to as female.

In the past little while, all of these things have made me feel so wonderful and amazing in my own body. As far as my sexuality goes, I just see myself as a person attracted to women. Sometimes I'm a man attracted to women, sometimes I'm a woman attracted to women. Sometimes I'm just a human being with female reproductive organs who is attracted to female-presenting people.

Sorry for writing too much. I got on a role.

   Acceptance of yourself could be one of the hardest things you'll do in life, or it just may come naturally and easily.

Hermann Hesse once wrote :
"It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is. "

That makes me wonder...  Is it possible truly accept others and honor others if you can't accept and see yourself?

Anyway for me this forum is the place to learn. I haven't been very active, but always coming back when I'm confused about something.  Acceptance of myself is much easier when I can share the journey with you. Knowing that there are many who have done it and many who are in same situation.

That makes me wonder if Herman Hesse was Androgyne.

It's always possible to accept and/or Honor others, even if you can't do that for yourself.
I probably do that to others far more than they deserve, but, people in general leave me with a sense of awe.

I accept myself for who I am, I make no apologizes for what I say or do if it is with intent. But, I am who I am. I have to accept that I'm flawed, but it is those supposed flaws that differentiate me from most everyone. Tekla has said 'Happiness consists of living a great strange dream'. Jerry Garcia sang 'What a Long Strange Trip it's Been'. Why not accept yourself *shoulder shrug*. Row your boat gently, life is but a dream...

I decided for myself that Bruno Schulz was androgyne.

I think Bruno had something going there. I do like the artwork. There is more going on than you first perceive. Strange fellow, would fit in here nicely I'd imagine.

I like that.

I can't tell if I am or not...when one isn't a boy or a girl, what would straight be?  I'm either warped or twisted...or likely both.
