"Gender" and it's "Things"

Gender -  That can be an amazing word.  That can be a term that can me so much to someone or so little to another.  It can be associated with genitals and mentally thought of as well.  Gender is just a whole of a person or not a person or all.  Growing up; gender doesn't seem like that big of a deal until you hit that wall.  That wall being the day you literally sit down and think about yourself.  Think about your experiences.  Where you are from? What got you to be who you are?  Most folks, never question this.  "Gender" in fact they probably never think about it or write it.

   You then have Trans* folks.  Gender is really all we have.  It's simply the most important thing we cling to because of the single fact that we never have been more sure of something; until we discover we are not who we thought we where.  We fight tooth and nail to be valid to not only ourselves but to the world.  Only because the world is a dick and puts you in boxes.  When really all you want to do is be who you want to be.  Gender, it's a world that means so much to a community that we would riot for it (Stonewall), We would write about it (Thus, as I am now).  We never really understand Gender until you finally put yourself outside of it.  Meaning that when you are biologically born male and you don't feel male.  You literally feel like you project yourself out of your body and feel as though, you are watching a shell walk about. A shell that covers really who you are.  It's a mask, not a funny mask.  It's like that picture of the crying clown in "The Sims" game.  You don't want it there, you just hang it because it was the hand you where dealt.  Until finally you go "Fuck it! I'm Trans*" and you make strides and run hurdles until you make it what you will.  You make you who you are.

    Spectrum's  Gender is a who fuck ton of Spectrum's   You either take the "variations" a spectrum has and associate with "Male" or "Female".  Though, you have Expression as well... THAT'S a whole another Spectrum... In which you display what you think "Male" or "Female" looks like.  Thus, Gender Identity and Expression don't even look like you would imagine them because each person sees it different!  This is a whole fuck ton of awesome!  Why you ask?  Because, fuck norms!  People can honestly be who they are.  They are themselves.  Spectrum's prove this.  You should see what people do with Gender! It's either what you would imagine a stereotypical person to look like or something you'd never imagine. Either way, I fucking support it.  Remember, that you are who you are.  Spectrum's are just a shit ton of "What does this feel like to me and fuck what someone else thinks!"  Remember that!

   People can just fall on different parts of a spectrum.  Mix of "Male" and/or "Female" or just "Male" and/or "Female".  It's a personal choice that each individual in this world has.  Only because you have people who take gender into their own hands are counted as the Gender Rebels in my book.  Just because you go out and do what you do to be who you are.  Yeah, that stupid teenager is laughing at you or the woman is giving you that snarled look.  You know what you think when you look back. You go "You're upset by what you see.  That's perfectly fine. I'm going to be over here doing what I am doing NOT bothered by you.  Why am I not bothered?  Just because I am Trans* and sure as fuck as happy with who I am."

    Thinking about "Gender" should be positive no matter the person just because not everyone thinks long and hard about gender.  It's a privilege to be Trans*.  Remember that!  It's a privilege to have the thought process you have.  Not everyone has that, and it's refreshing, new, and just a shit ton of fucking trans*cending of norms.  That's what I like to think about it.  You just keep up what you are doing you Gender Rebel.  Just because little Suzie isn't going for it, you gotta work it!
