How did being NB affect your life?

How has being born NB / NB-trans /GQ affected your life?

I know it left me tougher, but with a rage problem, but I became a fighter and a bit of a volcano.

It actually affected every area of my life, and still has a big affect on it now, though its become just my gender.  But its a really big deal, spiritually, physically, emotionally.

Better than it used to be, but hell in my teens and twenties in the 60's and 70's

But it did make me a serious fighter, and I think the music stuff came from some of that, and other things too.

It was really hard to figure out, and there was a lot of stigma, lot of shaming, that left a mark.

BUT, the other thing it has brought me is this bonding with others that are like me, like us.

Do you know how it affected you?

Because I never really made a big deal out of it by not letting others stupid bullshit make a big deal out of it, I overcame it by making life bigger than it would have been, like I saw most people making their lives a somewhat waste of time and energy.
I made life count in ways that I probably wouldn't have had it been a nothing thing to begin with, I strived to make it very low of the list of things about me that made me different.
This was just as simple as being better at things in a general sense, smarter was easy for me, stronger wasn't, but I was surprisingly able to do things that bigger people found hard to do, hard to keep up with me.
I didn't flaunt these things, I just did them and if others noticed, I just shrugged my shoulders and said yes I can do that or I did that, sure, not a big deal.
But the taunting, the things I heard, not so much about me but all people who were different in ways that those who fear different would condemn, just be better than them.
This still holds today, if someone doesn't like something about me, I could care less and I am not going to bow down to their idiotic ideas that being different is somehow bad.
In my life, virtually ever person who was doing something better was the type of person who did things for the sake of achieving it on a personal level or goal, and every one of them had this different about them that stood out and usually got shit for.
You know those people who would never ever admit to being different, strive to fit in at all costs, just the most boring and less worthy people, nothing wrong with them but on the other hand, they have have never given anything back to society, just take and use.
There is something special for those who are different, and given the chance or taking the chance, these are the ones who make things better, its the scared of the different people who stick with this narrow bandwidth of what is possible, which for them is perfect, nothing changes.
If you want the world to change, you don't have to be the one who changes it, but just the kind of person who embraces change, its the stepping forward and not being afraid to do so, sometimes its hard and sometimes its a bad step, but it sure beats standing still with your thumb up your ass.
Step into your future, don't let others afraid of the future hold you back, its like this, by the time I was 30 yrs old, I had been more places and done more things than most people will do in a lifetime, and I was just getting started.
Be smart enough to know the limits, but know that those limits are for the people afraid, who have to have limits to keep their fears in check.
Step forward, walk into your adventures, never be afraid of the future, it isn't written and you are the one who decides what it is going to be.
