The artist put out a survey and the first question was
Gender (of your heart/soul)
Male
Female
Other
But then later
Have you ever cross-dressed?
Male
Female
No
And I’m like “I’m trans. That question requires an essay”.
I mean, I’ve worn a fair bit of clothing from the women’s section since high school in the 90s (for about a year that’s all I wore. I carried a purse. Considered makeup), but wasn’t sure about my gender for a LONG time.
But the cross dressing was that I lived as a guy for so many years... sigh.
Incidentally, at 20 I couldn’t find my mascara and eyeliner. I come out into the living room and my father has them on the coffee table. “Are these yours?” “Oh, thanks! I was looking for those!”
He didn’t respond other than to be dumbfounded.
Decade and a half later I met my wife and cut ties with my alleged family which was all kind of fucked up to begin with, but that eye makeup story is hilarious.
I have deep set eyes. Runs in the family. My glasses frame them well enough but I didn’t need them until 6 years later.
