But my gender (which is NOT about physical architecture) was girl, not boy, when I was growing up. I don't know if that makes me homosexual or heterosexual, it's confusing, isn't it?! I don't go around calling myself "lesbian" because lesbians have a different set of things they have to deal with, and I don't want to appropriate their identity. Oh, and no I don't identify as "transgender". Most transgender women want to be perceived and viewed as WOMEN not as trans women. I'm not like that. I want to be perceived as male and as femme or girl, not as a man and also not as female. <br /><br />I have a poster I carry around with me when I do talks and presentations (i.e. in the pre-COVOD era). It reads "No, that's still not it. It's something else".

Am I correct in understanding the author is a male who identifies as a female, yet is attracted to females? So "genderqueer" would be a mashup of being transgender, but homosexual? (or is that term even still in use?)<br /><br />I can't imagine the emotional turmoil of dealing with this in the 70s/80s. Thanks for an interesting review of a difficult topic.
