Does...does this still count as following the trend?
I'm not part of the LGBT+ community. As far as I know, I'm a straight cis female. A couple years back I had a few thoughts like, "I don't really like being a chick" or "I think I'd prefer being a guy", and while I've dismissed such ideas by this point, I still have moments where I think, huh, I don't really like such and such factor of being female. My parents recently told me that as a baby, I adamantly hated wearing dresses and skirts, even though at that young of an age, I would have no idea what they were! I found that amusing. As a kid, and even to this day, I wore a lot of "boys" clothing, not for any other reason than that "girls" clothing always felt kinda uncomfortable and "weird" to me. (#burnalldresses2k16) I'll sometimes bind my chest just 'cuz because I think "Err...I'm uncomfortable without doing so". In the past year or so, whenever I do anything that could be considered "not-feminine", my parents get worried and ask me, "Do you want to be male?", and honestly, I don't (to their relief, probably). I just kinda prefer to be, I guess a tomboy? Not anything really important. I like who I am, and I like doing my own thing. But anyways, this is getting rambly, and kinda awkward I think, so I'll cut it short.
GBAtemp has such a wide range of people and orientations and everything, and it's really heartwarming to see everyone being so accepting of each other. Good luck and congratulations to everyone who's reaching towards trying to be themselves. Keep being awesome, y'all.
