Where do I fit in?

[~baby~doll~]

The letters LGBTQ are really great. They identify us as a community or do they.
The answer would better be said they identify us as Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. Letters are being added to further divide us. It is a shame. I much prefer the term Queer as it includes us all. In a song by Sophie B. Hawkins she says:

We are one body
We are one spirit
One breath
One dream of life and death
One god
One sex

The bold is what queer makes us. We are one body and you certainly fit into the queer community.

I both dated and slept with biological men until I came out a little over 10 years ago. I've been told by lesbians I'm not a "true lesbian". When I tell people I'm attracted to male-identified butches and trans men then I really get looks like, "Why don't you just date men?"

*shakes head* I love who I love.

Finding and being comfortable in the identity of "queer femme" took time. I still accept the blanket term of "lesbian" just for the sake or argument avoidance but I know fully who I am and who I'm attracted to.

I think eventually humanity will move into a place where gender isn't as much the consideration it is now. It's an evolutionary process. Right now, there's too much "us versus them" across the board.
