Bye-bye Heidegger, hello Barbie

Guest writer Janikest has written a thoughtful article at Jack Molay's Crossdreamers blog, entitled Crossdreaming: A Push Towards a Self-Authoring Journey. It's intelligent and affirming. It employs a rather elaborate schema derived from developmental psychology for arguing that crossdreamers can ultimately benefit from being obliged to face life's existential challenges which those who perceive themselves as 'normal' might evade. I endorse the conclusion, and especially Jack's own comments beneath it.

As a crossdreamer I am particularly conscious of my choice as to what to do with my sexuality and my gender identity. Yet at the same time I am particularly conscious that crossdreaming itself is not a choice: crossdreaming has chosen me as one of its own, whether I like it or not.

Please forgive me, though, if I feel exhausted and a bit bored by this kind of thinking. (There's plenty of it in the annals of Deborah Descends and Mirror Sister if you are interested.)

At this stage in my journey into my inner femininity omg I just want to be another girly girl lol
