    I'm sick of labels.
    I like to compare labels to dresses. Sometimes, a dress looks like it would fit just perfect when you see it on the rack, but put it on and it's 3 sizes small. And so you try on a different size. But sometimes, the store doesn't have your size.

    That's how I feel right now.

    I've gone through dozens of labels. Trans, androgynous, lesbian, cis, bi, pan, gay, bigender, agender. They all looked like they would fit perfectly- but none of them even zipped up.

    I am an Alex. The Alex is so rare there is only one in the world- me.

    An Alex some days feels like a guy, some days a girl, sometimes both and sometimes neither. Sometimes an Alex into guys, sometimes it's into girls, sometimes it's into both, sometimes they just sit there and be sad that they're single. Sometimes an Alex hates it's breasts and high-pitched voice, sometimes it likes them.

    I am an enigma- there is no label to fit one as queer as an Alex- and I'm okay with that now :slight_smile:

    Hi Alex :slight_smile: It sounds like you've had a long journeey, but your words are really touching. The label that fits you best is simply your name, attached to yourself. There is something really nice about that. (*hug*) I hope things are well for you.

    Well, labels do come with presuppositions. So kudos to you for freeing yourself from those.
