Wasn’t born a girl – Born a Human

I WAS BORN HUMAN!!!

“I am a boy. A boy who was born a girl. No, that can’t be right. I wasn’t born a girl anymore than I was born with a name-both labels were stuck onto me by others. Maybe I should say that I am a boy who was born into a girl’s body. But did I have a girl’s body at that point? I didn’t have hips or breasts yet. Someone once asked me if I had been born with with boobs, but I haven’t met anyone who was born with breasts. All right then, I am a boy who was born with a girl’s genitalia. A girl’s genitalia? Nuh-Uh! They were definitely my genitalia—thus, a boy’s genitalia. That would make me a boy with boy parts. (I’m also a boy with boy toes and knees— I wonder why no one has ever asked me about those.) Yes, I am a boy with boy parts, so that makes me trans.” -This is a quote from an essay by trans MAN Francisco Fernández.

I can’t watch the video due to my borrowed computer. I did love the movie Milk though. Anyway, your entry made me think. Never a good thing on two hours of sleep. I sort of have a headache now my brain hurts

I like this. What society labels you and the person you are within can be in complete contrast.

I really enjoy reading your blog. A lot. I’m pretty darn straight, but am learning to better accept what I do not understand. Thank you for this.
