Musings Part Two

My little time out on life. I'm not actually sure how "slowing things down" will manifest in life, but I guess I'll figure that out. Pronoun confusions stuff, too.

Thanks for verbalizing this, it means a lot to me. I don't really choose a pronoun, which is always interesting. I don't correct people and just sort of let them call me what they call me.

I'm glad it helps. A lot of my more recent videos tackle this issue a lot. Feel free to shoot me a message if you ever have anything you want to talk about. Take care.

hi. i totally understand you. there is just no "valid" name for somebody who doesn't identify as a man or a woman or a transsexual. and because there is no name, no language for it, one doesn't "come home" at one point i guess. you just stay kind of inbetween: neither, nor.even if i wished for society to have more options which i could choose from, the first and most important thing is to except oneself and to be cool with the way you are even if you cannot really define yourself.

Yeah, I guess there isn't really a permanent "coming home," but lately it's been nice to be getting back to my gender bending self. I find that neither gender is entirely uncomfortable, as long as I don't try to fit too perfectly in them. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

it is a cliche but "to thine own slef be true" is always relevent and good advice isnt it! Remember that some people do end up finding themsleves at niether end of the Gender spectrum which is perfectly ok but can be hard to articulate because so little example of that as an identity is given in society. This doesn make it any less of a real identity though. Again its a cliche but take your time,it is after all your time to use how you need to:) and your life! sending good wishes!

Thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me. I'm sort of finding my way around - sometimes navigating the spaces in the middle and outside the gender spectrum can be fun. I really appreciate your support. Take care.

Wow... I did the same thing with that book. I started reading it four days ago and read it nonstop for almost 8 hours, finished at like 5am that next day or something... and then I got to watch your video earlier this morning.

Hi. Perhaps you have more gender fluidity than most. check out the gender workbook by kate bornstein. Myself, I am happy being seen as male, sometimes misinterpreted as straight male, but understood as gay male by those who eventually get to know me (apparently it gets obvious when people know me a bit, lol). I am trying to watch how my ego wants the "juice" of being seen as something special, and to just let that go. But that's my path. You find yours.

[JulzB525]

Yeah, I used to be not entirely comfortable with gender-neutral pronouns, but I think I might give them a chance. I realize that might just be because I haven't had much exposure to them. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you so much for your support. I apologize for the phrase "in real life." I only meant in my local area. The support of the youtube community means a lot to me and I don't want to give anyone the impression that it doesn't. I wish you the very best.
