Off Topic: Coming out as Transgender
16 Aug 2018Alice Woodstock
Yes I completed the mission, a great reward for a great expedition. Everything was a success despite my anxiety arrive at my destiny. Again my tiredness keep me from celebrate as much as I could instead I simply sleep. Again dreaming as another time, living on earth at the second decade of early 2000's, when body, look and gender couldn't easily change as now. One thing really comes for the better, gender is now almost irrelevant as the infinite of universe opens to us, but back than was a big deal. Big enough to tear apart families and generate all sorts of duties for one gender or another. The way to dress or do make up was set in a stone in a time when each gender are expected to behave in a certain way.I was dreaming about being a transgender child, born as a man and coming out as a woman. Trying to tell my parents, without even know how to do makeup or dress like a proper woman, that I was already coming out and living as such. My mother, the woman I was thinking that would be better understanding explode with rage, saying to me that I was giving too much importance to my body and the beauty of my face and that I become a monster. My father worried about body changes and saying harsh words like "You never, never will be a woman!" but still with tears in his eyes. My mother simply said his son died for her, but my father still tries to understand to figure out what was happening to me, why I become the woman I am now. The dream fade away, giving me a pain in my heart that I never yet experienced until now.
