Long Post on Transgender and Orientation.
Point:
Let's think about this.
Homosexuality can in fact, in most ways, be more closely but loosely tied to transgender.
Think about it.
In the Gay Community: I.e. = flamboyant males.
Are they not more feminine? Don't they want their voices to sound womanly? Don't they primly do them selves in womanly fashions? They like to be treated by their men. They like to have talks about gossip, or shop, or hang out with other women. Namely straight ones. Why? They see themselves as straight women. They love their boys, and they love their girl's night.
In the Lesbian Community: I.e. = tomboys, butches, dykes.
They cut their hair like boys. They wear flannel, cargo shorts, some even begin deepening their voices. Some, if already masculine looking, enhance it however they can; working out, ace bandaging their chest, wearing big shirts. Look at JD from Le Tigre; she has a full grown, natural moustache.
There's also this fact genetically:
we are all born, in the womb, first as female. Then, at week 9, the fetus begins to recieve testosterone.
Depending on how much is shot up into the brain, you're either female or male. That is where the 'problem' comes.
What if most gay men don't get enough testosterone?
What if lesbian females get too much, but not enough to be male?
We are the stuck between. Not all of us, but most of us.
We follow the feeling and attraction and tugging of our loins and hearts.
Miyuka, my on and off girlfriend, feels transgendered.
She got top surgery when she turned 18.
Since she was younger, she's wanted to be a boy.
However, she isn't a lesbian nor bisexual.
She feels so closely to being male that she tells people she is.
She wants to be, ironically, a gay male.
How does she percieve our relationship?
"If I were a male it'd be natural anyway, wouldn't it?"
I myself feel like a boy. I've always wanted to be.
But I wasn't blessed with the looks. Instead, I'm a lesbian;
I genuinely enjoy women. In a mans' way. I love to treat my women, I love to be suave and chivalristic and romantic. In a Gone In The Wind sort of way.
The only way I'd truly enjoy being with a male is if I were myself male. Men are perfect together, in my mind.
Who says straight is natural?
Straight is a myth. We cannot as humans NOT find someone attractive, opposite sex or same.
Everyone has qualities that they like about the other.
For instance: I like girls that have boyish looks.
Therefore, if I see a boy that looks somewhat feminine, it reminds me of the girls that look boyish. Right? I know some of you may relate.
Well, please respond and tell me what you think.
I'd like feedback on how you all feel.
Goodbye and goodnite.
