One of the guys

All my life I've struggled to define what made me, and every time I would think about it I realized that when push came to shove I always felt like an outsider ( Read more... )

Zane, I am really proud of you! I know we're not the best of friends, and I just lurk your live journal, but you've grown so much! I hardly recognize you in the photo that you have as your Icon, and you're becoming such a nice man. (Not that you weren't nice, you're just growing into yourself.)

You've gone through so much, most of it I will never know myself, but being with Corwin and watching you, I think you two are so brave and awesome. Stay with taekwondo, I loved being in it, and am sad that I Have had to put it aside for college. (I am in ATA. How about you?)

You are one of the boys to me, and I am glad that you're feeling a part of it now, too. Keep smiling, yours is contagious.

I hear ya. Just yesterday my supervisor in clinic told me that she paired me with an 8 year-old male client because he would really benefit from more males in his life, and my immediate thought was "oh no, they don't realize that I've only been at this whole dude thing for a few years." Plus, the boy likes football, and, wtf do I know about football?

I know it probably doesn't mean a lot, but to me you've always been a guy. A gay guy, so I don't feel intimidated or threatened, but still a guy. And I adore who you are.

Speaking from personal experience, getting hit/kicked/whatever in the pelvic bone hurts like a mother fucker. And while I understand that that's not what you mean, I'm just pointing it out.

What if you try looking at it from a positive angle? Those guys will never get to experience the blessing (and it truly is a blessing in my head) of being two (or more) sexes. And they will never get to experience (unless you don't know something) the joy and love of being with someone who's like them.

Zane, hunny, you are a beautiful and lucky guy. They are the ones who are missing out. Not you. They are the ones who get to wonder what it's like to be someone so incredible as you.

"WHAT THE HELL?? who thinks like that??"Tons of people. Straight people. Gay people. Normal people. I do. And you do too. And that's 100% okay ( ... )
