Concept and pic from the wonderful @energeticwarrior !
Week 1: Celebrate Your Identity
My journey with my gender identity has been like trying to follow a black cat into a tunnel; i've still not really found it.
Having Dan be open about his idea of labels regarding gender has helped me be SO much more comfortable with not knowing which label i fit into or where i stand as someone born with a uterus. i've always felt slightly uncomfortable in the body that i have. hearing that it's okay to exist as a "formless blob" in this world has made me more comfortable and happier in myself! i'm okay with the pronouns i get in person and i'd be okay with different ones too. Dan and Phil being so unapologetically themselves has made me confident and proud to be myself, whoever that may be.
My sexuality identity is similar: though i feel i fall under the category of pansexual, i still feel a little iffy about confining myself to that label, because what if i'm not? i'm still on that journey and that's okay! Dan, Phil, and this community have made me feel so comfortable just existing in this space <3 i feel welcome, and i'm so thankful for that every day.
Love y'all <3
