It's been so long since I've posted anything that I doubt anyone will read this, let alone notice that I'm back. That's okay, though. A great many things have happened since I last felt the need to publicly broadcast my feelings.
To start with, I've reached a comfortable place with my gender identity. I identify myself as gender fluid. I don't think of myself as any particular gender over another; I'm more of a blend. I have days where I feel more masculine or more feminine, but mostly I feel like....everything? If that makes sense. It's about the same place I was at the last time I posted, but I have settled quite comfortably into this. My preferred pronouns are they/them/theirs (neutral).
Secondly, I've been with my significant other for nearly four years now. He is very supportive of my gender identity and sexual orientation. I call him Husband even though we're not actually married because we've lived together so long and we act like we're married. We have FIVE babies! Fur babies, that is. We are not ready for tiny humans yet. We have two cat babies named Bailey and Violet. We also have three wiener dog babies named Little Man (Littles for short), Olive, and Alfie.
I have accepted a job in sales and am making progress in my budding career, although I have not entirely shelved the options of being a famous writer or movie star.
Lastly, and perhaps most shockingly, we now live in the BIBLE BELT! Yes, go ahead and laugh. No, my religious convictions have not changed in the slightest. I am now a godless liberal trying to make my way in North Carolina, amongst toothless hillbillies and Bible-thumpers. Oh lord...this should be interesting....
