Yes, I am.
I have a hard time accepting it but each of us is a sexual being. For me, I tried to never to act on it, it was trying to act like a good boy, and not doing what all the other guys were doing, fairly simple. Considering my true identity.
I tried to date, I was horrible at it. I couldn’t sustain the interest level other guys had in girls. It left me thinking something is wrong here, but what?
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure my issues with secretly dressing up as a girl/woman and my secret fantasies weren’t just a phase or little fetish. I felt ashamed and fearful, it was all wrong, I was wrong to think it. I was a freak.
In time the pull was too great, the lure too strong.
I came to grips with it all when I tried online dating, as a female. I expected to receive hate and rage but it never came arrived. My photos were sleazy and to male-oriented focused. I knew what guys wanted, the angles the looks the clothes. I didn’t mind being sexualized.
Fortunately, I date on rare occasion, however, I harden to the sexual messages that I received. The lust some guys had for a nonexistent woman(I only cross-dressed in private to myself) was kind of sad and funny. It did some mind twisting in my head.
As time passed and I began to get jaded to guys sexual wants and lured minds I won’t lie, I twisted a few guys minds for revenge, in

Men consist 50% of most markets and using all of one’s assets to garner attention isn’t wrong I believe. Selling actual sex maybe a line I won’t cross but through a third-dimensional entity like print and electronically doesn’t count as wrong. It means I will likely endure creepy weirdoes, stalkers, and taunts by misunderstanding men who can’t separate between illusion and reality. Not one of us, male or female, is the way we are, in public, or even private, just a shadowy figment of our
We (women) allow ourselves to look and be used as sexual objects. Women should acknowledge what they are doing to themselves. This doesn’t mean it’s okay for men to degrade us, but we should be held accountable for our actions. Women are to blame too because these are the kind of men that women are falsefully in love with. They are too busy thinking about who they want them rather than who they really are.
To understand the linkage between sexuality and gender, it is important to reimagine the relationship between sexuality and gender and the rapport they hold with self-identification. Not long ago, sexuality was tied to procreation - becoming the core of one’s identity. Gender had always been tied to biological sex. However, a crisis of gender identity emerged and blurred the gender and sexuality binaries that had become commonplace social facts. A fluidity was created that allowed individuals to not feel the pressure of fitting inside distinct identification categories.
Introduction People from all around the world are watching Victoria’s Secret’s fashion show in every year. Especially, this fashion show catches most of teenagers’ attention, not only because the fairy tale-like stage, but also does various supermodels wearing delicate bras shows in the fashion show. There was an evident showed that women in the description of raunch culture were characterized by the increased presence and popularity of female pornographic imagery: high heels, sequins and glitter, bunny rabbit ears and exposed cleavage (Bishop, 2012). Correspondingly, Livingstone (1998) remarked that the number of young women engaged in sex acts with other women has increased and the result was linked with chiefly performed for the titillation of men, rather than reflective of genuine lesbian or bisexual desire. Also, problematic was that young women were positioned in this literature as passively absorbing sexist media and culture.
It reminds me of the constant humiliation me and my best friend at the time received because we were tomboys, and weren’t dating like my sisters had. (13-16 years old mind you) It is a constant reminder that I’m not the only person who has gone through this, many other people probably experienced the very same judgement. And this judgement continues till this very day. Just a few weeks ago my Mother told me I need to watch my mouth, because it’s not “ladylike.”
Throughout my life I have come from and created a few identities for myself. Perhaps, the most dominant identities that have been apart of my life are being an athlete and being a family orientated man. In this paper I will write about how my identities have shaped my life. First off I believe my biggest identity is being an athlete.
Having a different sexuality than the one expected of you, doesn’t change who you are as a person. Yes it might change how people see, or treat you, but it should never cause you to hate you uniqueness. You are who you are and nothing should ever come between you happiness even if others can’t accept it for what it is. In “Drowning in Fire” by Craig Womack, the author talks about homosexuality with the help of his central main characters that happens to be Native American.
I knew my entire life I was a boy, but I didn’t know I trans until I fourteen. I blame this on poor exposure and lack of education.
You tend to catch yourself trying to be the manly one in conversation, and in everyday activities. It enforced you to look down on girls that were not as good looking as other girls. It made me more or less embarrassed to talk about a girl that might not have been as good looking compared to girl’s teammates hung out with. So you’ll often shy away from talking about those girls with friends and much rather talk about the good looking girls that we either saw or want to get to know, whether we talked to them or not. That forces an individual that is not as masculine to become more masculine knowing that good looking girls are hanging out with teammates compared to you.
From a sociological standpoint, today’s media’s sexualization of females is spreading like wildfire, and making this type of perception into a norm—the idea that women should feel the need to act “sexy” in order to attract
Meanwhile, men are encouraged to express their sexuality and therefore serve as the actors in society. Furthermore, rape culture is reinforced through the media’s images of sexual objectification. As seen on a Duncan Quin
There are many theories that can be used to study online dating. These include sociology theories such as liquid love and chaos of love; communication theories such as social penetration theory and social exchange theory. 2.2.1 Liquid love theory According to Bauman, relationships are “the hottest talk of the town and ostensibly the sole game worth playing, despite their notorious risks” (Bauman as cited in Giddens, 2006, p. 244). Liquid love shows the transformation of modernity from solid to liquid where nothing have remains as before, constantly changing social forms are taken place at a greater speed (Bauman, 2004).
“Pornography is the theory; rape is the practice.” (Kutchinsky B. 1991) The word ‘pornography’ acquires and bears a constant negative connotation, the word itself encapsulates the abhorring behaviour of exploiting women’s rights and rape fantasies. With a long history, from the beginning of Playboy in the 1950’s (Sanburn, 2011), pornography has progressed hugely and is becoming more normalised and accepted. The pornography industry is predominantly catered to the male perspective, hence the male viewpoint portrayed against the female viewpoint portrayed in pornography.
Researchers from Northwestern University seem to agree: Having more people to choose from really is a huge benefit of online dating, not a disadvantage. For Wagatwe Wanjuki a feminist activist who lives on the Internet. "Hookup culture is not a new thing created by online dating. The same people who proclaim the "death of dating" often blame the advent of no-strings-attached sexual activity.
Online dating has been proven to be successful in the dating world. “Online dating is estimated to be a $2 billion business, with 1 in 10 Americans reporting they have used an online dating site or mobile app, and nearly a quarter reporting that they found a spouse or partner online”
February 29, 2016 is when my best friend Cristal and I went to Walmart shopping center to do a little grocery shopping. As we were getting out the car and heading in, we noticed some employees on the side of the building that were taking a break, and these employees were men. As we continued to walk in, they started yelling “Hey ma, wassup” and us ignoring them, we had no clue that one of the guys were going to run up behind us. He tapped me on my shoulders and once again was like “Hey ma, wassup” and me being who I am I turned around and was like I am gay and this is my girlfriend please leave us alone. He instantly turned around while saying “oh my bad shawty” and we went on about our day.
