Sotokomori 101 - The FTM Issue.

.......

A: But these days I do get the feeling that I'm acting in more 'masculine' manners; never mind, well, being able to drive. Which is like the norm for everyone in this country - but (likely) not everywhere else. ......

I: .....So, where do you wanna begin from?

A: It depends.

...But I do think historical stuffs (i.e. KBS 역사저널) are rather more like folklore than reality these days, and the reverse is true for this generation.

...That's the strongest impression I get these days anyways.

I: Are you saying that the whole trend - of which topic you're trying to get at - is bad?

A: That I don't know. 'Cause I'm certainly NOT the one who's going through, you know, all those surgical measures directly at the moment - nor someone who intends to in the near future.

...All I can guess (especially as a Korean) is that thing is at least halfway sociologically motivated. That's all.

Like, okay. You might think me doing this whole self-interview thing is hilarious - 'cause I was just muttering to myself just today at work 'it's all right as long as I'm not killed or anything in the process'. You know what I mean?

I: ...

A: ....I'm after all, someone who've been nothing but minority BEFORE she even started to open up about subjects like these. Not everyone in Korea gets bullied as of young (esp. by the opp. genders) near lifelong, and then her mom decides to marry a white army man from US and stays together for like 10+ years. You know what I mean?

I: ......I get that that sort of perspective alone can get fairly unique.

A: Right. And I was exactly this kid who was more than into, you know, what girls would dig in her age! I do remember, DESPITE being fat & wearing the ugliest jumpers on all the time when it came down to that one Anime character (i.e. Cardcaptor Sakura), I was going literally nuts lol.

I: Well, I don't think that's a serious issue.

A: I know. But what about adult virginity? Or initially coming off as Asexual? Involuntarily celibate? What about femcels? All kinds of terms but nasty or not.... Virtually pointing to the same stuff. ...Or so I guess.

I: .....I get that regardless of age the fact that there are collective bodies of people who are kind of like 'forced' to stay abstinent/celibate is equally depressing enough.

Regardless of ethnicity/nationality/religion that is. 'Cause I do know for fact if you're say a Buddhist nun/monk celibacy is sort of like an requirement. ...While even for some sectors I know marriage (and likely bearing children, that is under religious premise) is allowed.

....But why take it too far? ..You know, when we're all, well, supposed to be living in this age of 'sexual liberation' per se.

A: For one, I more than know how collective bodies of people cannot only practice prejudice,

....it's the side of ignorance on them that can hurt one on deeply individual scale in my opinion. (*Again, sociology.)

...For me it's like I just barely escaped the worst side of everything I think b/c I was in fact nothing but "an Asian nerd female girl who was just too much into Japanesey stuffs (i.e. manga otaku) that she just 'forgot' to get laid" - or something like that.

.....I know how it sounds as someone who is now in her 30's; but I have no other way to explain MY VIRGINITY (or virgin status thereof) w/o putting things down like that if I were to fully escape some sort of, well, blame or say wrath of the public or stuff like that specifically - i.e. female-to-female hatred/sexual jealousy stuff (*i.e. Stuff of the WTF). 'Cause what I just mentioned ⬅️ as a collective population are certainly not gonna be in my friend list. ..I've met enough crazy people here in Florida, so I know what I'm talking about.

..Do you get me so far? Like you could have 2-digit IQ but could still get it if you were an American (or had an unfortunate life like mine).

I: ...Trying.
