But what exactly is the point of all this navel-gazing?

I have never really stepped back and questioned whether what I like to do is traditionally male, possibly effeminate, or any of these things. if I like something I do it.

The irony to me is that the people who seem to come across as the most evolved about gender on some level can't get passed it. I mean "Chick clothes aren't comfortabl, hence I don't wear them" seems to me to be adding gender into your non-gendered mix. Why not, "I wear the clothes I find most comfortable" rather than adding that the clothes of your choice aren't necessarily paired with the gender of your birth?

Even when it comes to the whole trans thing, it always seems to never be able to "let go." I mean, you are a man who always thought you should have been born a girl, you identify as female, you start dressing like a woman, you go to therapy to work on these issues, you take hormones to change your body, then you get surgery to make your outside feel like your inside, and then after this long journey, what is your gender? M2F.

Comparitively, I've lost about 120 pounds. People often call me skinny now. I guess that after my years of dieting, desire to change, feeling that I never really wanted to be fat, and finally taking a lot of will power to get to where I want, I should correct these people and say, "Well, actually, I'm Fat to Skinny, or F2S. I used to be fat, but now I'm skinny." Wouldn't that seem... silly?

Just felt like raising this, not all in response to your blog or about you personally. Just haven't had this discussion for a while.
