ALL THOSE LETTERS....
GAY LESBIAN BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS
I've been reminded that while some heterosexual people who are NMNK are accused of being one of those - gay lesbian bisexual or transgender people - some actually are, and I feel I've neglected those of you.
I learned that there is another definition that fits with the others sometimes
GENDER NON CONFORMING
In the sense that I have never been motivated to have babies, some people would think this is how I am.
Growing up I know that when my school opened wood shop and metal crafts to female students some of us took those classes. It was so sexist! At the time males were allowed to take cooking and sewing!
Some of us took electives or side classes like POWDER PUFF MECHANICS!
It was considered a good thing for females to know how to change their own oil. And soon we were all pumping our own gas and that sure eliminated some service station jobs.
If you were a woman who was good at auto mechanics it was assumed you were lesbian.
Unless you were also married to a man, a macho man.
So are we STILL assuming that a woman who is an auto mechanic is lesbian, or is she GENDER NON CONFORMING!?
I think you might be as confused as me.
Must you be in a body that LOOKS feminine to be a WOMAN and enjoy CONFORMITY OF GENDER in order to be Transgender?
I am not a girly girl.
I remember going through a faze where I despised the color PINK.
I was an artist, and an experimenter with media, including mud and dyes, from a very young age. I also drew hundreds of portraits of dancing girls, all with different costumes.
What if I was obsessed with drawing dancing men, what would that make me.
I like my body as is, and am satisfied that I'm female, but my unmarried, childless status, puts me into question, a new category.
Anyone else out there feel like me?
