That was a quote a guest speaker said a few weeks ago in QST (Queer Studies) in reference to FTM's transitioning and how they ID. I've noticed a few people lately who seem to fall into that place as well.
Some guys bitch and bitch about being born female and how the don't have certain rights and what not and b/c they're a girl they're labeled and not "allowed" to do certain things. They feel they're so far off the gender spectrum map sometimes...so what do they do? They transition and become male. Not male in the sense that they're sensitive and caring and down to earth, in touch with their feminine side, oh no...they're stereotypical, aggressive asshole men who scratch themselves and spit and jerk-off a lot. But yes, those are the ones so far off the map that no one can understand them.
Ya know what. I think that is the biggest line of bullshit I've heard since they swore in Bush as President. I don't ID as Trans. I ID as male. Plain and simple. Yes, I'm an asshole, yes I'm stereotypical...I scratch myself and spit as well. But people understand that. I don't feel that, "no one has heard my story", or, "I'm so different, I don't fit in". I'm just a boy.
Maybe this is me being an asshole of not understanding, but I think that I'm to a point where I've been around all of this for so long ans heard so many people talk about coming out and what not that I'm just tired of it. I'm past that part and ready to move on.
On a more disturbing note I had a fucked up dream last night. I dreamt that Smith went bankrupt. It's such a hard concept for me to grasp, but that's what I dreamt and I was devastated. Yes, I know, it's an all womens college and the paragraphs above seem to be hypocritical. But I feel safe there. Yes I ID as a boy and not Trans, but to everyone else, until I fully transition, Trans is going to be something people can latch on to. And I think being Trans at Smith is a lot easier then being Trans at say Umass. Besides, I know the area, I know the people and a degree from Smith looks a million times better then Umass. So, with that said...I'm still applying.
Anyways, I think I'm done bitching and ranting for now. I'm off to get something to eat and a haircut before work.
