Rant #7: My Own Type of Transgenderism
As it obviously comes up a lot, I have to explain my transgenderism to people because āTransgenderā isnāt quite enough annoyingly. Even MtF isnāt really enough. Its fine, sex is complicated, so Iām going to best explain mine.
I am a part-time transgirl due to my bipolar gender dysphoria.
I should explain Iāve not officially be diagnosed with anything. Iām closeted like that. But I get frustrated with my body and begin hating it, wishing I had a female figure and body parts. This is called gender dysphoria, in case you donāt know. But I only feel that way part of the time. The rest, I like have a male parts, growing a beard and wearing suits. Thatās where the bipolar part comes in. Itās a term Iāve completely made up. Just like how people with bipolar depression are depressed some of the time, I feel like Iām truly a girl only some of the time.
As a result, Iām only a transgirl on occasion. I donāt often get times to dress up, as Iām still in the closet. Iām also not seeking mediation, surgery or anything to make my femininity permanent. As you can tell, thatās a commitment Iām not really willing to take.
I hope this explains it all. Let me know what you think of it, I imagine it can be quite decisive.
