Rant #7: My Own Type of Transgenderism

As it obviously comes up a lot, I have to explain my transgenderism to people because ‘Transgender’ isn’t quite enough annoyingly. Even MtF isn’t really enough. Its fine, sex is complicated, so I’m going to best explain mine.

I am a part-time transgirl due to my bipolar gender dysphoria.

I should explain I’ve not officially be diagnosed with anything. I’m 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 don’t 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. That’s where the bipolar part comes in. It’s a term I’ve completely made up. Just like how people with bipolar depression are depressed some of the time, I feel like I’m truly a girl only some of the time.

As a result, I’m only a transgirl on occasion. I don’t often get times to dress up, as I’m still in the closet. I’m also not seeking mediation, surgery or anything to make my femininity permanent. As you can tell, that’s a commitment I’m 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.
