This last blog will be a little hard for me to write, although there are a few people in this class who know, including Leeper. I'd like to thank Sarah Bish for giving me the courage to write this.
So... I am an asexual transgender man.
First off, asexual means I experience no sexual attraction to anyone, so no, I'm not an amoeba or a plant. Besides, the proper scientific term for the reproduction of single-cell organisms is "agametic". The more you know!
About being trans, no, I'm not transitioning because I'm a tomboy or because it's "cool". I've low key known for years, even before I discovered what LGBT+ was. I always felt more masculine than most of the girls I knew (though I do have a feminine side; who doesn't?) and hated my figure when I developed (still do). Femininity and being a girl in general seemed to be a curse placed upon me until I delved deeper into why I felt uncomfortable with myself. I found out about trans people who experienced the same discomforts, known as gender dysphoria.
Call me fake, call me sick in the head, tell me I'm going to hell, whatever you want to say to me.
Though I'd prefer you refer to me as Lee and use male pronouns.
Sayonara, folks! It's been a good semester.
