Doubt and Dysphoria

Today I woke up, the first thought is I’m not a woman.  Why is that my first thought everyday?  I don’t know why I wake up and expect something different to happen.  I don’t remember what my dreams have been about lately I half wonder if I am a girl in all of them.  Living that girl dream life?

I sit down wait for my first meeting for work, stare at the monitor. I’m not a woman.  I feel like I should be.  Why do I feel like I should be something that I’m not?  Maybe I’m just obsessed.  My mind goes away from that as I prepare what I’m going to say in my meeting. Yesterday I was debugging and as all things go–this was taking longer than expected.  Ok is that good enough?  I guess so it happens all of the time.  The reality was that other issues crept in from outside and stole me away.  What about my soul feeling female, is that good enough of a reason for me to be a girl?

If you’re born male–you can’t just wake up and be a female
You can’t just decide that you’re a girl…

I don’t know I’m not doing it for attention.
I’m not trying to get access to bathrooms.  I just want to be my true self.
Would it be safe for a girl to use a mens’ room?
Would it be safe to be dressed as a girl in a mens’ room?
Would it be safe after being on hormones, losing the strength you might have once had to fight with a man, to use a mens’ room?

Today you want to be a different gender, tomorrow a different race, the day after that an inanimate object.  I’m not sure what to think of the line of thought here.  I get the question–where’s the line between something that is fantasy that you want to be and reality of what you can be?  Where should that line be?  I certainly don’t have the answer to that.  I don’t think we should be responsible for what other people want supposedly because we got there.  It’s within the realm of controversy but it looks like it is slowly gaining acceptance.  People have always been weird and people will continue to be weird.  I’m not sure if that means people will need to reach new levels of weirdness.

I’ll mention that I don’t agree with people becoming inanimate objects, I don’t think it’d be appropriate for them to become animals either.  I think it’s a bit absurd to expect that… but maybe it’s more absurd to not expect it.  I don’t know.

I think Christians like to stand at the gate and question given this evil that is gaining acceptance what is next?  They feel threatened at values being challenged.  It’s not a requirement of Christianity nor is it that all Christians feel this way.
