A Fork In The Road

Yes, absolutely.

So I visited
ftm briefly because I got a heads up from
danielray that there was a bitch fight going on, and I didn't want to miss it.
Well...I didn't expect to find this post, which has so clearly outlined how I feel.
And you know what? I'm not going to be wishy-washy about it anymore.
For a long time now, I've been wondering if I even want to ID as FTM at all. It doesn't fit, and that feeling has gotten stronger since I went to college. I'm just a guy there, and that's right. Maybe I was happy to be an FTM at first - I'm not saying it didn't work for me at some point. But it doesn't work now; I'm getting to be nearly as uncomfortable with it as "lesbian," for the amount it fits me. I'm shying from the word, because it's not me.
So that's it. I refuse to ID as an FTM anymore. That's going to take getting used to, and I may need a transition period there, but that's my final decision.
Coming Up Next Week: The Non-Existence of "Male Privilege." Stay tuned to be pissed off!
Edit: ^ Um, joke? Ha ha?
