Hey, this is Dan and it’s my second time posting here.
I wanted to mention height… or lack thereof. I’m very very petit (about 5’1”) and while sometimes I am comfortable with that, a lot of the time it gives me stress and makes me feel childish, inferior, and emasculated.
Do any guys out there have anything to say about dealing with being super short or even embracing it?

My names Coop. I’m 18. I came my friends, my catholic classmates, and and my sisters when I was 16. My parents when I was 17. For the most part it was uneventful (besides my mom telling me not be “faggy” and my morality teacher trying to explain the joys i’d get from be celibate. ) These little eventful moments don’t really effect me to much. If you have to constantly come out to people, its dreadful (my knees would shake, I’d feel the urge to vomit) Now I can say “I’m gay and if you don’t like it fidel de D!” I’m digressing to much now. I’ve always wanted to join the military and in November I signed a contract with the marine. I’ll be going to bootcamp in july (the 23rd to be exact). To enlist through a process which requires two days to finish meaning you get to stay at a hotel with other future military member for a night. Anyhow my roommate found out I was gay over the course of a late night talk and told my recruiter (since we had the same one). My recruiter doesn’t give damn about my sexuality and even jokes about it with me. (we pick on each other its all in good fun, hes never homophobic and told me if I’m ever offended to tell him) This was the most uneventful coming out I’ve had yet it is the most important. See I was afraid that even with DADT repealed that being gay would still hold back my advancement through the ranks of the military (which it will to some degree. Lets be honest we gays know how the world works.) But it did help dispel some fear I had on the issue. So to all my LGBT friends out there, remember the world is changing exponentially on gay rights issues. It does get better, and in the words of Harvey Milk “You gotta give them hope”
Fuck the people who tell you you have to be a man or a woman.
Fuck the people who ask, “Have you had the operation?”
Fuck the people who refer to you as an “it”.
Fuck the people who continue to call you by your birth name.
Fuck the people who tell you “it’s just a phase”.
Fuck the people who say, “You’re just gay.”
Fuck the people who say, “You’re just a lesbian.”
Fuck the people who say, “You can’t be trans*, you’re too masculine/feminine!”
Fuck anyone who tells you you aren’t who you say you are.
Gender is not up to anyone but yourself. Nobody has the right to decide your gender identity and expression for you.
The most feminine “woman” can identify as male. The most masculine “man” can identify as female. Gender is not determined by either your birth sex or your behavior.
So call me a sissy, a pansy. Tell me I can’t be male because I like to sew and I’m not particularly athletic. Tell me I can’t be male because some mistake gave me an X chromosome where there should have been a Y. You will never change the fact that I am a man.
