Is there any reading that you've done that's really been eye opening? Or a story that you see your self reflected in? I'm strugling with understanding where I land the :eusa_doh:the gender spec.
I read a book called Tipping the Velvet. It is about a lesbian in the late 1800s. It was pretty good.
Does moc stand for my-own-creation? Or if not, what is it for? This isn't a novel, and it's not gender-related, and it's offensive in every way to the LGBT community, but: Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" was the first inkling that homosexuality existed I ever knew.
Mel White's --A Stranger At The Gate-- About his years of being a Christian fundamentalist ghost writer and his journey out of the closet. I certainly saw aspects my years of denial and of my own coming out in his book.
Not sexuality related, but the one character I've identified with most strongly was Kestrel Hath from The Wind Singer. Aramanth (the city she lives in) is basically like the first school I went to, and she reacts to it the same way I reacted to school. I would probably have climbed up the Wind Singer to yell pompraprune if we'd had one. ---------- Post added 21st Jun 2013 at 07:27 AM ---------- I don't really mind that song. I just figure it's a Kinsey 1's perspective.
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is a favorite of mine. I watched it for the first time right after I really started questioning my identity again. Also, a french film called "Tomboy". I didn't feel such extreme disparity until after puberty, but the shy curiosity and experimentation that Mikael exhibits is familiar to me, and I read him as being strongly ftm.
