an FTM loose in a classroom
I go to Miami University and recently I did another classroom panel (psych class) with the GLBTQS(I)A on campus, and a guy came up to speak to me after the class got out. our conversation is summed up in this approximation of what he said:
thank you so much for coming in and speaking to us. You've really made things more clear for me, its helped a lot. Even though I'm a straight male, though open to what comes my way, I've always felt a need for there to be a biological definitive in being gay. That it really ISNT a choice, and that I'm not choosing to be straight, I just am. But I couldn't figure out how being TG/TS is okay, because there is an active choice in having a sex change, in pursuing it. But when you described to us that there was only a decision in giving in to the need in you to be what you knew you should be.. it makes sense now. Thank you for making it make sense.. i wanted to be accepting.
take what you will from it but it really made me feel like all the talking ive done, almost alone here, has FINALLY taken root
