Hello all, I'm a pilgrim in search of my identity, recently in regards to gender. I am also a TCK (third culture kid) who has no ethnicity. I acknowledge that I am influenced by both the Yellow nation and the Blue, but I belong only in the Green nation, which coincidentally has only one citizen: me. This detail might be irrelevant to EC, but I felt it necessary to include in my introduction, because 1) it is a fundamental component of my identity that took many distressing years for me to resolve, and 2) my gender identity so far has been based upon my approach to cultural identity. That is, I renounced both female/male genders and considered myself genderless, and I was content for a good while. But what is this...dissatisfaction with my physical self and the societal expectations based on it which mires me in such oppressive unhappiness? I've rooted myself in front of the computer for an answer, a compromise, the past few days. As my questions have only tripled as a result, I decided to join EC. It looked like a very helpful forum. Excuse my long post. I'm not this verbose usually, but I really needed to talk to someone. (Also...any HS juniors who want to let off some steam about insane academic expectations with me? :badgrin
Hello and welcome. I am sure you'll find the answers you're looking for on here, by just asking. I hope to see you around and enjoy your time on here! Lots of love, Andy
