I know it's probably too early in my blog to start talking about this, but i have some things that need to be said. My cousin claims to be transgender and i have a hard time with him/her.
For those of you who don't know what transgender means, it means that my cousin thinks of her/his self as the opposite gender. We'll just call her/him Derp because i don't want to expose him/her. So lets get this whole thing straitened out. We are pretty much best friends. Derp was born a girl and continued to be a girl until about a year or two ago. When Derp came out as transgender, i'll admit it freaked me out. I lied to her a lot about me being comfortable with her new position.
In May, i went on a school trip to Florida and we texted each other each day. I was kind of getting upset with Derp because he seemed really attached to me and wanted to text me in all of my free time. Halfway through the trip, Derp decided to tell me something very life changing for me. So here's how the conversation went:
Derp: Hey, can you talk?
Me: I have a life other than you ya know...
Derp: Yeah, i know but it's super important
Me: Fine, what is it?
Derp: uh, it's embarrassing...
Me: Stop wasting my time and just tell me.
Derp: i can't..... its too embarrassing
(at this time i was super pissed)
Me: tell me soon, it's almost lights out
(we were staying in a camp)
Derp: well, cud u try to guess, it's too hard for me to just say
Me: ugh... is it something to do with the transgender thing?
Derp: yes. Keep guessing tho
Me: are you in love with somebody?
Derp: sorta like that...
Me: just tell me, i'm getting pissed
Derp: Keep guessing
Me: Are you in love with your dog?
(i was obviously getting bored with guessing)
Derp: i'm not a serial killer, keep guessing
Me: we have lights out. ttyl
( i was lying, i got too bored and i wanted to hang out with my friends)
After another day, i got this text from Derp:
Derp: I need to talk to you before i do something stupid.
(i got scared when i read that)
Me: what?! Derp please text me back!
Derp: I need help
Me: well i'm here, just tell me!
(i was talking to my friends and they were helping me figure it out, but they were joking around)
Derp: Please just guess, it's too hard
(one of my friends suggested that she was in love with me)
Me: Are you in love with me?
Derp: kinda.....
I called her and she was getting mad at my friends. Derp said that she couldn't stop thinking about me and he almost hurt herself. I was freaked out. As far as i know now, she isn't in love with me now. Derp has another problem going on with him right now.
The reason i keep switching between calling Derp him and her is because it still confuses me. Derp wants to be called a boy, but i grew up with her being a girl, so i call him a girl almost all the time.
Derp says that he will start taking testosterone when she comes of age.
I want to get something strait right now. I DO NOT hate gays! Everyone who hates gays, just let me say: get over it. They aren"t "infecting" you, they aren't "torturing" you. They have no purpose of destroying all strait people. Get over yourself and learn to love them. Most of my friends at school are gays. They are some of the sweetest people I know. My mom works for a lesbian who is engaged to another woman named Lee. That woman is the sweetest person i've ever met. She has a puppy who loves her, snd dogs are a good guess of character. Let this be a lesson to those people who are christians who say that being gay is a sin.
