Is it helpful to go from one closet to another? MTF or FTM? Isn’t the point of coming out to stay out? To define yourself as an individual and be proud of whom you are! This is an eternal question each person on the gender journey must resolve. Perhaps the answer is not clear cut. Perhaps this is the nature of being in question to begin with!
Gender when graphed looks like two mountains, one peak is male the other female.
Draw a vertical line through each peak and the area in between is the realm of transgender. We fall in the middle and thus don’t really belong in either closet. Also notice how quickly the lines fall off at the edges. There are not many in the extremes of maleness or femaleness. Easily sixty percent fall in the middle zone leaving the those who would consider themselves the majority surprisingly in error.
Of course there are other interpretations of this graph and it is not my place to define it for you, but only for myself. So take this as an opinion and not fact. There are no real facts, only perspectives and points of view. So who are you? How does that closet serve you?
Perhaps those who thought they were in a closet are in fact outside the closet and in reality it is the “mainstream” individual who lives in the closet, a strict definition of hetero/male or hetero/female which defines the closet. The closet provides structure and perceived safety, but is in reality a trap of normalcy.
So, I ask you again… who are you? How does that serve you?
