It's hard enough trying to figure out who and what I am, but lately it's been a huge struggle. Been having dreams that I'm split in two from the waist up. There is a full male me with torso and head and a full female me, but we share a pair of legs. We both look at each other and look down to see if we are male or female. It's just an empty space there. Like this gaia item: http://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/47081 In the dream I end up running away from parents and the people around me that see me. I can hear their words of disgust,disapproval, and their laughter as I run faster.

Usually female shirts don't fit me at Sears. Parents wanted to go shopping and dad told me to pick something up if I wanted. I went straight for the guy shirts and mom kept wanting me to go into the female section. I finally find two very nice guy dress shirts and ask dad to pull them down for me (I'm short). I try them on right there and dad says it looks ok. Mom just tells me they are too long (which they are). I could see the uncomfortable face my mom was getting, but it surprises me that dad is ok with it. Dad is always bad mouthing everyone and it was interesting to see him not tell me anything about being in the guys section of the store. I'm slowly pushing them towards a style that I like without trying to step on their toes. I hope as I begin to change this year they will slowly come to accept me as I want to be. I'm glad this guild exists.
