Well if you had a Queer/Questioning, Undecided, Intersex, Lesbian, Transgender/Transsexual, Bisexual, Allied/Asexual, Gay/Genderqueer. people that chloroformed and stuffed you into a rainbow colored quiltbag then I'd say yes.

You know, by definition a being that is masculine, feminine and neutral (omnipresent) is gender queer.

I have never been able to wrap my head around the whole genderqueer thing.

As far as I've been able to fathom it, from the way my genderqueer friends tell it, it seems to be a kind of gender dysphoria like a trans person might have, that just doesn't stay put. Some days you got it, and your gender feels "wrong," and at other times you don't and everything's cool.

I've been told by those genderqueer folks who've read my genderqueer writing (porn. It's porn. ) that I'm very good at capturing that experience, in spite of my being a cisgender man, so take from that what you will.

When I was still a Christian, I prayed EVERY day for forgiveness for being gay. I thought I was gay. I wanted to be healed. When I got a crush on a guy I thought the god healed me, but then a couple years later I crushed badly on a woman. It was torture to think I was going to hell. I thought I was posessed! Lol

My major comprehension issue is the fact that I've never had what I've heard described as a gender identity. Insofar as I ever actually think about it, I consider this no more a part of my identity than my hair color or body shape or even my sexuality. I'm a man with man parts and that's about all it means to me.

This is definitely not to say that I think having a gender identity is strange or anything like that. I just don't 'get' that mindset. I could very well be the weird one here.

Poor ivy-san I've never been one for praying but I totally know how you feel. I thought something was wrong with me for YEARS. I wasn't physically attracted men until I was out of highschool. I was pretty sure I was gay until I landed a crush on my friend DJ ( man was I confused as fuck), then I figured out the whole bi thing.

I wanna hug you now! Quill gets it!

By and large, I think the reason you don't get it is the same reason that you're not aware you have a functioning heart; it's working okay and so there's no reason for you to recognize it's there. It's like background noise; you won't notice its presence until its gone.

Imagine waking up one morning to find you've suddenly developed girly bits, or some strange third gender that you've never seen before. You'd definitely know something wasn't right then.
