Today I wore a shirt that my mum bought me when she went to the Balzack(sp) mall. I felt... Really uncomfortable in it. (the shirt I'm wearing in the pic) Lately I've just been wearing boy shorts and a boy t-shirt (different ones of course, not just one LOL) And I felt really comfortable in those, like... I felt like myself in them. Even when I wore my jeans. Or I would wear a button-down and a pair of jeans. Of course I'd always wear my binder with them too, so I would look kind of like a boy, but I liked that. A lot. But when I put on that shirt my mum bought me, I couldn't wear my binder and I just felt so wrong, so out of place. I kind of look like a boy that was forced to wear girl's clothes lol. I'm wearing a button-down shirt now though, so I'm a bit better. But I think this gave me more proof on how I'm starting to feel on the inside. I mean... Ever since I started getting a bit better, I've been feeling so strange (so many "feel's" lol) Like I'm not the person I once was, since I've had to change so much in order to adapt to this "new" self. My mum used to talk a lot about me having to find my new "normal" and I'm starting to really take that to heart. But I never thought my new "normal" would be something like this. This thought occured to me when I was looking at pictures when I was younger, when I was hanging out with my cousin in Newfoundland. Back then I had really short hair and hardly any curves whatsoever. Many people would confuse me for being a boy and whenever they would do that, I would pretend to get mad at them, but on the inside... I was kind of glad that I was mistaken for a boy. There was another time when I was older and a boy and I went out for Halloween. It was my last year trick-or-treating, and we went to this one house and when the guy gave us our candy he said "Here you go, boys!" When we left to the next house, the boy I was with laughed at the guy who confused me with being a boy as well, but behind my mask, I was very happy, although at the time I never quite knew why. But I think now as I find my new "normal" I've come to realize why I liked being mistaken for a boy. Maybe it's because that's who I am on the inside. When I look back on my childhood and all the things I've done and will do, it makes a lot of sense. I mean, it all adds up.
Now don't get me wrong, I highly doubt I will transition into becoming a man or even take anything like T or have surgeries and what-not. I'm... not really happy persay, but I've come to accept my body as it is y'know? But I think maybe if I were a stronger person and could handle stuff like needles and surgery, I might actually consider transitioning. Despite all this though, when I really think about it, I'm not sure if this is just a phase or how I really feel. Right now, currently, I'm considering myself as a GenderQueer, but only because I'm not sure who I am right now. I would like to find out soon, but I'm only 17 and even though that might seem long to some people, to most it seems to be not long enough. I think for me, if I still feel this way by next year around this time, then I might do some other considerations, but for now I will just remain GQ. Because, who knows, I might change my mind later on and want to be something else, right? Sometimes I hate being a teenager lol. It's so confusing.
