Thanks

You're welcome Dysole and, more importantly, thank you.

If it matters, I never associated any gender with the Dysole name. Who am I to make these assumptions?

Jim is totally a girls name

I thought that Jayne was a girl's name? (Browncoats assemble!)

Thanks for sharing, Dysole. I hope things continue to look up for you.

Wow that's gotta be rough. But just to be clear did the description of "genderfluid" meant someone interests can change to interests of typically observed in a separate gender gender or someone who can change their gender? But either way I wish you luck and hope you can work through your current position.

Glad to hear things are looking up, Dysole.

Best way I can describe it is this. My internal gender identity shifts and changes without any discernible pattern to it. In any given moment I can feel like one gender or the other, both, neither, something that isn't either of those two and can't quite nail down exactly where I am. I can barely describe what it's like myself but the best explanation I can give is someone slowly but constantly adjusting a thermostat on you except the thermostat can also go to the side of hot and cold or even disappear entirely. You don't really notice until it's uncomfortably hot/cold and so you need to adjust to account for it. It's not a perfect analogy but it's the best way to describe how things are.

~Dysole, who's used other analogies but this one makes the most sense

I'm glad things are looking up, Dysole, and I truly hope they continue to do so.

I too suffer from heavy dosses of depression, although for much different reasons. So to an extent I understand, and to an extent I don't, but I hope you remain happy from this point forward(which I suppose is a rather naive wish, for no one can ever always be happy), because I know feeling depressed sucks.

Keep well, always look both ways before crossing the streets, and be of good cheer.

I'm glad 'Scapers is a safe place for you. I hope that never changes. Be well.

Glad you're getting to a more comfortable place, Dysole. I've never been a fan of "gender normative" stuff anyway. I figure everyone ought to follow their muse. It's more interesting that way.

~Aldin, thinking you might enjoy the Lord Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold if you haven't already read them (you know - as something to do in your copious free time )

Good luck Dysole!
