Depression intensifies. Cause still not known. I don't even know what to type. Genders are annoying. I drank some hot chocolate and it burned my tongue. I'm going to go play video games and cry now.
One part of depression is that there's always a cause--reflecting back usually always finds it; problem is how, and what.
At times, its the environment or a consistency within the environment (ie Pollution or garbage) which is of value to the person, but in a...lesser condition than is able, and it affects the person too, in general (ie harsh attitude from others you care about).
A period of lucidity is needed to be able to organize yourself and communicate (Lucid = a state of stability).
Also wishing you well, Captain Mc! I hope whatever is nudging you will...not do any permanent harm there.
I think there's just still too much stigma on someone's gender identity.
Someone? Or the concept? o_O
The usual thing is to respect personal decisions in that context, and perhaps guide them along the way if you feel what you say is alright, in the situation. In regards to that concept...I think its the rigidity of beliefs revolving around it for you, yourself?
As in, what I recall is the 1980's definition of feminine or masculine...it was very rigid in how it limited the idea. It had a point--though very...diluted(?) by how limiting it was.
