Hello there! My name is Eden, and as you probably gathered from the title of the blog, I'm genderqueer, which is what this blog is all about.
Well, the thing is, I'm not entirely sure if "genderqueer" is the right term.
Pretty much all my life my gender has been changing. When I was young, I didn't really care. I was a boy because everyone around me said I was, and I didn't see the point in claiming otherwise. That pretty much changed around the time I hit puberty.
I'd be lying if I said all I ever thought about were girly things. I was jealous a lot of my sister because she got a lot of cuter clothes most of the time, but I also liked things about myself. I liked my own body well enough until the body hair started growing. I never made a big deal about my body and facial hair because I was well aware that it was all a normal part of growing up, but inside I was hoping dearly that I would only grow a little bit, or that it would grow slowly.
Luckily, I had really amazing friends. My bestie gave me one of her thongs as a gag gift on my 15th birthday, and even though it was intended to be a joke, she was more than happy to loan me her old clothes. And even since then, she's been really happy to take me out shopping with her. Most of my girly clothes I have now were either hand-me-downs from her, or clothes she bought for me.
Anyway, I guess that's enough rambling for now. I suppose what I should be saying is this: I feel like I'm somewhere between male and female; I really like being treated like a girl and being able to wear girly things, but at the same time I'm pretty much comfortable with my body, hairiness aside.
