A kid I used to have classes with finally called me Kyle,
I didn't bother correcting him before because I don't have classes with him anymore and I don't see him in the hallways, I don't know,
I just didn't want to waste my breath explaining to someone who probably doesn't care anyways.
Back to what happened,
The kid was like,
"So, like, you want to be a guy now?"
My answer:" Lol. No. I don't want to be a guy, I am a guy."
This is the second time I've been asked this in the past week.
This is the second time I've been asked this in the past week.
People are mistaken if they think I was "born a girl", and now "want to be a boy".
I was born a baby,
Not a gender.
I was assigned female at birth.
Not a gender.
I was assigned female at birth.
People are mistaken if they think since I identify as male, I have to look a certain way.
I can wear whatever the fuck I want. If I walk around in a thong and I have pink hair down to my ass
It doesn't matter,
you will call me Kyle and he.
Its a matter of respect and humanity, so show me some fucking respect.
I am pretty comfortable with myself, but a lot of people aren't comfortable coming to me and asking me questions.
So I asked the kid,
"Who told you?"
And he says,
"It's going around school".
At this point, I'm fucking dumbstruck because it's not like I told anyone who wasn't my friend or acquaintance or teacher.
People are asking my friends,
About me.
I really didn't think people gave a fuck.
I didn't think people noticed.
If y'all have questions,
Can you just ask me?
I get that its awkward for you,
But don't be putting my friends in awkward positions to spread my business because you,
"Don't get it".
Sorry if I came off hostile.
I'm just trying to live.
Ps. I won't take it personally if you called me by my birth name and the wrong pronouns before and you didn't know, and I won't be offended if you are talking about me and you mess up because you're getting used to calling me by my new name and pronouns.
But it's a promise that I will fucking ignore you if you call me she and my birth name on purpose and/or if you're mad at me.
I will be honest here, I never knew whether you were a boy or a girl until people pointed it out to me. I do hear people talking about it with a feeling inside i didn't like as well as the things some may say. I hear two different names and genders for you, but to me I see one person and think that either way you are pretty. A pretty Kyle. Which is why I don't understand why people talk about you as two separate beings because you are one person in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, "My answer:" Lol. No. I don't want to be a guy, I am a guy." Best line to say to someone ever. Also, your whole post doesn't sound like you were being hostile in anyway to me. It just sounds like you were very frustrated and fed up because you are human. You deserve to live how you want to live as because It is your live you are living, not anyone else. I just wish society doesn't view so many topics as "bad" or "good" without knowing the person or topic in depth.
You are Kyle and you are the best as you can be. And that is what I see.
(I am sorry if I said something bad or this comment was so long. I just wanted you to know)
PS: Happy Thanksgiving :)
Oh my gosh thank you Baby
DeleteYou are such a sweetheart <3<3<3
I think your perfect at being you and if someone doesn't "get it" or doesn't "like it" its on them not on you ... You live for one person only and that's kyle and no body no matter what can take that away ... Everyone else can either choose to love you for you or they can get the fuck out your life ... And if they can't do that well then ima have to show them how much of a ass kick a Puerto Rican 5'0 tall girl can give them
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good post. It made me laugh (with you). HARHAR ! <3
