Sometimes when I wonder if I am a Real Boy (TM) I think about giving up my past as a queer girl, and it makes me sad. (Of course, there are other times when I wonder if I am a Real Girl (TM), and then I get sad about giving up my tentative future as a queer boy.) Even when I feel as though I need to transition- and I've been feeling that need pretty strongly lately- I think there'll always be a part of me that wants to be dykey. Which is why I make sure to keep myself well-stocked in flannel shirts and fake meat products.
I'm glad you liked it- it took me a long time to work up the balls to post it. One day I hope I'll have the courage to show it to my mum.
