Hey, Butterfly.
As I mentioned in the How can I ever Swim Thread .
My Daughter ( 23 ) is more of a " Asexual/ Pan Sexual " I think she called it ?
Understanding that you are having an Issue or Changes within yourself .
She Wisely beyond her years, advised that you may need to seek Emotional Therapy.
Which in her Young 23 year old mind, Is Not Mental Therapy or a Physical Therapy
It is a Soul Therapy. Non Religious Non Agnostic. Just her own Spiritual.
She says,It is Accepting What you are First.
Hard to do sometimes in this confusing world .
And Her Word is Human.
A Human !!
After the " Human " comes the Type of Human, Male Female, Gender Disordered, Physically Challenged or Deformed. Mentally Challenged or Deformed or Diagnosed . And " Normal ".
This is Only a Basic " Label " of who You Are .
She said to ask you " WHO ARE YOU " ?
Can you Define Yourself as Woman,Man or a Transgender, Gay, Bi,Lesbian ?
Or as she is asking to me. " Who are you to You " ?
I really do not think she is Insensitive to the " New Generation "
More into it or Explanatory of the Differences That we all have these days.
your Daughter sounds very wise beyond her years, i know i have to accept myself before any body else will i guess, its tricky to know how i identify myself, i would have to say as a woman right now. A lot has changed for me over the past 3 years or so, in the early days i hated everything that was happening to me, to a state of nearly committing suicide
It was hard for me as i had no idea what was happening, i felt i was turning into a woman for no reason, it was a relief when i was given the news that i was intersex. I now admit that when i started to understand my changes and actually find them interesting in a way then it helped me accept who i was becoming, i know the hormones have effected me psychologically aver the past few years and that may of helped in me accepting that i want to be a woman now, there are so many things i actually like about who im becoming and i feel i now do accept and know who i am. But getting there and getting others to accept it is a different matter. This forum is a great start and again you have been so kind and helpful as have many of you and it has made a huge impact on me, Thank you x
