Jaemy

Hello everybody! I'm new so thought I'd introduce myself.

My gender issues have rendered me androgynous, it seems.  I think it's best for me to remain neutral after decades of frustration, dissatisfaction, and two divorces. I have very few sexual feelings any more, and still don't feel I quite fit in as a female...and I'd be a really weird man at this point! However, I felt completely male when I was a little kid and if I'd been able to grow into a man I'm sure I would have had a happier life.

I'm not really a "butch" female but feel most comfy in my old bluejeans, no makeup, and wild, curly hair. I worked at being a feminine female for many years of my life but in the long run, it hasn't worked very well for me.  When I'm in a group of regular women, it often doesn't seem that we're members of the same species!

So here I am on the verge of my 65th birthday, still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

Here's hoping you have minimal or reduced dissatisfaction and frustration from now on.

Well you're not the only old hippie wandering around in here.  Sure don't know what I'm going for, but I'm going to go for it for sure.

Welcome to the forest!

As always, Mr Dury has something rhythmic to say about the topic.

You can't truly be an "old hippie" unless you know which two bands, both originally known as "the Warlocks," (one East Coast US, one West Coast US) changed their names to.

Worked for one of those bands - still do on occasion like when they need things moved.  It was...interesting.  But it's even more like Vegas than Vegas, so what happened stays there (until I publish the book and change my phone number).

The answer to this hippie trivia is  (drum roll)

The East Coast "Warlocks" became the "Velvet Underground."

The West Coast "Warlocks" became the "Grateful Dead."

Of course, all you kindred souls knew that.
