I used to think I needed a man to define myself. Not any more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like defining myself. I just am.
I was always just so feminine. I don't think anyone who ever met me would describe me as a man.
My grandfather was raising me, and in many respects, I was trying to understand what it meant to be a man. He was my role model.
When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.
I think of my gender as a part of my complex humanity.
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization.
I don't define myself. I'm just a woman in love with another woman.
In my marriages, I'd lost parts of who I was because I was trying to mold myself into what I thought a man wanted me to be.
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
I never thought of myself as either a woman or a man. I thought of myself as a person who was born to a writer, who was doomed to be a writer.
