i saw someone tweet that they struggle with their identity because they don't always feel like a woman. they didn't say they felt like a man, just that they didn't feel like a woman. and a good deal of people agreed with them. it got me wondering.. why? i don't mean to offend but.. i don't get it.
i'm a 'butch', 'stud', etc like the aforementioned person.. and i've never felt this way. regardless of how i dress, how i talk, my body's shape, my mannerisms, who i date, preferences, whatever.. regardless of any of that, i exude womanhood simply because i am an actual woman. is that not what womanhood is? being a woman? if you are a woman how could you ever not feel like one? YOU define what it is. no one else. not the media. not society. not your friends, family, whoever. YOU define it.
i feel less and less in tune with this community everyday. i just don't understand any of this.
