Fantastic post lil. It makes me very angry inside when I hear that there are good people out there that are afraid to be themselves because of archaic and static notions of gender. I think it makes me upset because I know how amazing it feels to find yourself and for society to accept you for who you are. To take that experience away from someone is tragic and unacceptable.

For me personally, I don't feel like I have to live a double life. But I think we all play different characters with different people. I am not the exact same person around my mom as I am with a professor, or a best friend, or a girl friend. We all play different roles. But I don't think that makes me a different person. They are different versions of me. And they all collectively make me who I am.
