So this is the deal

I was born a female and I still am technically a girl... But I'm not... I'm not a boy and I don't want to start taking "T" or anything but I really don't feel comfortable being a girl eather.... Maybe I'm just a non-op trans guy. Contradicting isn't it? Maybe in a different world where there was more exeptance I would change... But then again some times I feel more female then male. It changes every other week. I haven't met anyone else who has this issue I don't know any mtf or ftms living in Montreal I haven't even told anyone how I feel about my gender which makes going by male pronouns very dificult.(obviously) I hate being gender queer I wish gender was as simple as ones sex. I'm posting this at 1:30am from my itouch knowing that it's not well written or spell checked but will go unread anyways so it doesn't matter anyways. -Sam

  1. hey,

    i'm a genderqueer ftm trans person (who loves being trans/genderqueer!) living in philadelphia and for what it's worth i'd say don't box yourself in...if your gender's changing every other week go with the flow. some people are gender fluid and don't have a set 24/7 gender. im of the opinion that there are as many gender's as there are people, so do what feels right for you, there's no "wrong" way to be trans. also - i go by he/him and they/them, am not on t and am getting top surgery in a few months and people invariably "she" me all the time. but i've been out for three years now, and my friends all call me by he/him and so do my co-workers. i don't think being a non-op trans guy is a contradiction at all. montreal's a big city, i'm sure there are other trans folk there, find a community, i know it really helped me. good luck.

  2. I don't think there's anything contradictory about being a transperson who doesn't want hormones or surgery. That's the difference between transgender and transsexual. And being trans or genderqueer or whatever you feel does not mean that you have to fit inside a little box. I think the pressure to box ourselves into boxes that don't fit the binary boxes is ridiculous. It feels like we have to have a label. But we don't.
