No queer tragedy - interview with documentarian Gwen Haworth

[dramanonymous.livejournal.com]

At the age when small children are thinking about their first day of school and how to ride a bike, Gwen Haworth (who was at the time a young boy named Steven) knew -- even in her childlike state -- that her gender identity was awry. Even at that oft-innocent age, her instincts were to keep those desires secret from everyone, something she kept to herself for more than two decades. "I've been aware of this since I was four," admits Haworth. "That meant 23 years of keeping this secret hidden, 23 years of self-hate and internalized transphobia." The frustration in her words are palpable, but the softness in her spirit resonates peace above and beyond all other emotions. Know this: this is no queer tragedy. In fact, Gwen Haworth's story is inspiring and worth celebrating, one which comes complete with a happy ending.

New....Genderqueer???

[bough-breaking.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone...I'm just looking for some people to talk to, get some stuff out in the open.  I like to go by JL, or LJ simply because they're my initials and I don't have anything better yet.  I'm 21 and I came out as a lesbian this time last year....  Now I'm confused all over again. 

I really like the idea of being genderqueer because it seems to fit, but I often wonder if I'll start transitioning ftm someday in the future.  I've been presenting as more androgynous, but as soon as people meet me and tell them my name is Jenn I'm put into a female box, I hate it.  I bound my chest today (36C) for the first time and I was so excited to have a semi flat chest, and all male clothing.  It was amazing :)

I'm very involved in our LGBT community at my university, and I'm president of our feminist discussion group, but as far as people know I'm just a lesbian that's been wearing more and more boys clothes and presenting as more in between genders... I don't feel like a woman, but I don't want to be a man... I think maybe I can see myself somewhere in between, one day maybe taking steps to transition more towards the middle or male side.  Maybe T, and if binding becomes too troublesome, top surgery may be an option....I haven't gotten that far yet.  Right now I just want to be...I want to talk to people who know what this feels like.  This gender confusion, gender bending, nonconforming feeling of change that hold both positive and negative changes and emotions.  Youtube videos and blogs are keeping my head above water right now...

Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated...Especially because this community seems a lot more active then others

Thanks in advance
