I remember hearing āenjoy childhood, it only gets worse/harder from hereā but that is not true in my case. My childhood was ā¦ less than ideal ā¦ so hearing this made me think, āoh no, it gets worse!?ā
But now I absolutely love adulthood, it is several magnitudes better than my childhood. Yes I have to pay for things but I also feel like a person. I have privacy now, I have options now. Iām not in high school or bullied for being gay (pushed down steps, car chases etc) anymore and the worst one is actually in prison now (for unrelated reasons). I donāt have to do everything every adult in my life tells me to do. To be honest, being a kid can actually suck, children are small people who lose every battle they get into, being an adult is awesome and I want to tell LGBT+ youth that maybe life actually gets much much better for you so stay tuned for more.

Hmmā¦ maybeā¦ Gender-fluid?
gender-fluid
A person is gender-fluid when they donāt identify solely as male or female, and their gender identity changes over time. Thus, the term refers to a change in a personās gender expression (the way they look or behave), identity or both.

My childhood was hit and miss. There was good parts but some bad partsā¦
Adult life has gotten slightly better. I donāt get made fun of and where we are, regardless of how I dress or do, people are very nice 
Iāve had a few glares but itās w/e Iāve always had glares. In school I was attacked, harrassed, bullied, you name it.

Firstly, thanks for trying to help. But, Iāve thought of gender fluid before, and I always feel like and identify as male even with the feminine likes and behavior. I donāt know; maybe itās just complicated. Which is also okay too because thatās just me.
I wish no one was teased, bullied, ridiculed over love or gender. From experience, it just simply sucks to be called stuff not repeatable here. Or to be attacked. Lack of kindness, empathy, and respect do such harm to everyone in society.

Pharazon, I want to add that I also experienced this sort of, well not gender dysphoria exactly but incongruence between my expression of gender and societal norms for people of my gender.
It actually took me until my Ph.D. advisor to find a male role model who was the kind of man that I wanted to be. Other men in my life were doing things that seemed forced, or defined masculinity in ways that didnāt speak to me. But my advisor was a very kind, nurturing man, who had clear goals but was also very patient. He knew exactly who he was, and he was very confident (security on the inside) but never arrogant (insecurity on the outside), and I admired all those things about him.

Thanks for sharing that Rita. 
I thank everyone for being nice. But, I want to say super-thanks to someone. I know not everyone on the forum likes or gets along or whatever with you or vice versa, but I've got to thank Fuzz for being so kind to me as I've tried to be more open than I usually am.
Hope you donāt mind me borrowing this old gif I made in the TL3 lounge a year or two ago.
And, I donāt know if I should say anything, but, also, thanks 
if you read this. I know thereās tension here with you and donāt blame anyone feeling how they feel, but youāve been kind to me when I started talking about this side of my life and encouraged me to be me. Please donāt hate me, everyone, for caring.

Hey itās np.
I know Iāve made my fair share of mistakes and all that and I aināt perfect. Iām learning as I go along and I guess thatās all a person can do is just keep evolving so to speak.
I try to be there as I can for others and be supportive cause wellā¦ we all need it sometimes. /hug
Plus life is too short to have hate and be hateful to others. We are all on this planet for w/e reason even though we donāt know what it is and Iām happy that my presence on this planet helped someone and that Iāve made somewhat of a positive impact.

Maybe thatās the best answerā¦ you donāt really need to find a specific label for it because, youāre just you.
I think that could possibly work for a lot of usā¦ but I canāt speak for anyone else.
Just go on being you.

Pharazon you are awesome no matter what label you have.
Also, sorry if my ā¦ frustrations with plunderstorm left you feeling down. Iāve never had a good response to pvpā¦ especially when itās for something I want, and people just keep grinding me into the groundā¦

Thank you. I guess weāll all just have to try to be ourselves, and thatās fine.
You are free to have whatever frustrations you want about the game or Plunderstorm or whatever. I have a love/hate relationship that mode. The worst part of it is that itās meant a lot of UN-kindness in the community, which bothers me a lot. Too much hate against each other and not enough kindness and love.
I hope you have more okay-enough days than not, Nightsong.

just be urself and want to be and not think abt labels or titles or w/e if you like things you like then as long as you arent hurting anyone who cares. just ppl in this world really suck just stay w/ the groups youre comfortable with and move on together w/ them. ppl care way too much abt what others do, especially if it causes no harm. cant reason w/ some ppl just have to find ppl who you can trust n love

Iām still geeking about FF7 so heres something not mega spoilery.
I adored seeing veteran players of the OG see those birds and just go āOH ABSOLUTELY NOTā before beating the crap out of that monster to save them. Sure newbies would wanna save cute birds too. Its just one of those āYou donāt understand. These dudes were precious in the first gameā
Cloud Jr even does the lil shrug animation Cloud always did in the OG. I swear these games just feel like a giant hug.
