WIP: Galaxy Test 01
I've never done a galaxy painting before.
Don't know why I haven't tried this, it's fun!

Silently Dual.
I am speaking for the ones who have learned how to live, the ones who know the struggle and have chosen how to overcome.
I am transgender. But I don't call myself by my other name.
I don't cross-dress (anymore), because I feel my identity as both male and female is more important than establishing myself as the gender I associate with.
It wasn't until middle school where I realized that I was different. I am born a girl, with two younger sisters. My childhood was distinctly feminine: pink, frills, dresses, Barbies, and other similar girly things.
Yet, not being able to understand womanhood on an instinctual level was difficult for me. I struggled with my first period (my younger sister had to show me how to install my first sanitary pad.) I was never enamored with the sexual appeal of breasts. And, I still liked boys.(Does that make me gay?) It wasn't until college when a word surfaced for this: transgender.

You know the one that I had to create an identity for.

I love Barbies, even as a boy.

Right as I began the nightly chores (because that's what every 24-year-old is required to do while living with their parents' to keep a free roof over their head), Mama called me into her room. Like many Filipino tactful and concerned mothers I have ever known in my life, she asked,
"Why are you spending so much time playing games? Why don't you do your craft anymore? Do something with your design skills."
So I'm drawing again.
Thanks mom :)
(No, really. I shouldn't have stopped.)
