I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?

“Taylor literally said—“ shut up! I’ve honestly stopped taking Taylor’s word seriously years ago. How many times has she said something that wasn’t true? Now, I don’t hold it against her, all of the instances I can think of when that happened was all for marketing/brand or taking-care-of-herself purposes. But still, I don’t trust her lol I trust her word on her lyrics because that’s the only thing that has stayed true and genuine and CONSISTENT, and if we take the lyrics they contradict what Taylor says most times so...

“Please, Malala… Mexico”

A man brandishing a Mexican flag stained with blood-red paint disrupted Malala’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance ceremony on Wednesday, as the 17-year-old Pakistani activist stood on stage in Oslo, Norway.

The man, who had a camera hanging from his neck, yelled, “Please, Malala, they are killing us. Don’t forget Mexico!” He was promptly arrested, according to Oslo police.

As the man was escorted out by three security guards, he shouted, “Viva Mexico!”

The appeal is most likely a reference to the disappearance and suspected massacre of 43 college students from a rural teachers college in Guerrero state — and the government’s failure.

Investigators say Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda Villa, ordered police to confront the students, who had gone to Iguala to raise money and had commandeered passenger buses for their use. The couple reportedly feared the students would disrupt an event being led by Pineda Villa.

Iguala police fired on the students in two incidents, killing six people. Officers then allegedly turned over 43 arrested students to a local drug gang who, some say, murdered them, burned their bodies and threw the remains into a mass grave and river.

“This began as a movement to demand justice and answers in the case of 43 students who were kidnapped and killed by a drug cartel at the behest of corrupt politicians. Drug cartel violence is nothing new to Mexico, but the students’ kidnapping struck a nerve and quickly became a national story, prompting protests around the country that have grown for more than a month. That’s not just because the kidnapping was so terrible but because the attack encapsulated many Mexicans’ worst fears and frustrations about where their country is headed.”
