I wish I were a…

My thoughts happened to be on this subject this morning, so I thought I’d share it again.

…a woman.

As many of you realize, I spend a lot of time focused on my sexuality and my expression of that sexuality. I have to say, after coming out to my mother, I am feeling much better about myself. In fact, I have a small sense of pride at the moment – it doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. But, there’s something else that lies at the periphery of my sexuality and that’s gender identity.

Side Note and Trigger Warning: I am going to discuss my own thoughts on gender and the concept of fluidity in gender. Keeping in mind that these are merely my own thoughts, primarily about myself, I recognize it could be a sensitive topic for others. So, please realize I might be offensive to some.

S.A.R.D. #9 – Me a Fag?

I happened to look back at old posts and noticed this one happened to be one of my most popular posts, so I thought I’d re-post it. Granted, I found it interesting perspective on my experience, but I thought it was kind-of humorous too.

Purpose?

This morning, I was perusing Twitter feeds and saw something that hit home for me. I'm recalling this from memory and capturing the essence of what I saw on someone's Tweet, but it went something like this: "If you are constantly looking for something to make you happy, you won't find it because you're too …

So, I found a job…and other stuff.

To say the last few months have been hell would be an immeasurable understatement. I'm not going to link any of the previous posts I had on this subject, because all it will do is remind me how miserable I had become. But today, I am certainly singing a much happier tune. You see, I …

Providing updates…

Honestly, I hate providing updates, but it feels like that's the only way I have any interaction on my blog anymore. I remember about 9 years ago, when I first began blogging about myself, I was on almost daily - sometimes three or four posts per day. Obviously, I squashed a couple of blogs before …
