So it's typically hard enough being gender fluid and constantly not trying to stick with the binary genders or any association with male and female by wearing what I like. It's worst when I have major dysphoria when feeling masc. But lately I've been stuck in neutral where I don't feel like my gender matters much and I'm slowly just going with the flow? Sadly, this happiness was ruined last night when my mom turned on Empire and we saw Jamal kiss Skye Summers. JAMAL. The one gay guy on the show I was rooting for and he was questioning his sexuality. This I had no problem with. I was happy he was still learning about himself,but what my mom said and did irritated me. She said, "See,he's confused he only needed the right women to come around and show him that." As she looked at me, I felt all the anger and disgust rise as I looked back. She was making a quip at the fact I'm bisexual and that she sees it as nothing more than a phase and that I'm confused. I fought back saying that was cliche and rather stupid because I know I'm not confused I know what I'm attracted to and for her to smash down my reality like that to fit her close minded box. I just ugh. I'm irritated. On a better news, I bought someone on tumblr a binder with my bday money I felt like giving back would be a nice thing to do. So yeah, life is going.. I'm gonna go work on some homework and wash my brain out with music so I'll post something another day.
