Samantha, thank you so much. I was so riveted that I didn't even notice that it was kind of a long post.

I think I'll always have a part of me that wishes I were female. In the 0% to 100% spectrum, I'd say I'm a pretty solid 50%. I've never completely identified with the male role and there's a part of me that I'm beginning to recognize always identified with the female role. And I've always known that I'm bisexual (at least, for as long as I've thought about such things) so I've long put that issue to rest.

This thread, the research I've done recently, and time I've taken to think has really helped me. I'm feeling much more comfortable with my own thoughts now. I need to figure out how I want to deal with these thoughts but I've stopped worrying about what they mean.

I'm glad you are finding some light, and glad I could help. Never be afraid to ask questions, because there are not stupid questions... I can recommend some other reading materials if you like and am always will to share what I can. If I don't know the answer, don't worry, I'm sure there is someone out there who does. When it all comes down to it, words, labels, and so on are just the little boxes people create to try and help them navigate life. If you don't fit a little box it doesn't mean you're wrong or broken, just different.

Different is good! Variety they say is the spice of life. Finding new ways to be happy, safe and content in our lives is more important than pretty much anything else. If we are not good to ourselves, don't love or care for us, we cannot really do it for anyone else.

If the people around us are more invested in their own narrow view of the universe, it's time to give them room to grow. I know that sounds like a platitude, but beneath it is a shocking amount of truth. Learning to when, why and to whom I should say NOT, YOU CANNOT do this to me has been one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn. Probably the most expensive too... In the end however I'd have to say it's been worth it...

Rock on!
