Women definitely have different, and probably more, challenges. Thanks for your kind words!

Wow Talon. Greet post and share. I travel single with my kids and have a hard time as a woman sometimes. Can’t imagine what goes through your head sometimes. I’m proud to call you a fellow writer and will continue to follow you and your son.

That’s very interesting. It’s good to hear from someone who deals with it at a deeper level.

Thank you for sharing. Having lived in Thailand for the last 2 years, I have a different impression of how the 3rd gender thing works. For me, society seems to shove everyone into heterosexual pigeon holes. So, as an example, since I’m a butch-looking lesbian, it makes sense that I’m attracted to women and I’m seen as a “male”. I’m generally called “Mr.” and I receive compliments for being a “handsome boy”. Thus, Ligeia and I are understood as a couple. However, if you have two muscle boys or two femme lesbians together, it’s more confusing for Thais. Physical violence is rare in Thailand, but homophobia is quite prominent.

I wouldn’t say they are difficulties. Probably the biggest part of the challenge is in my own head. 🙂

Being gay just isn’t something I would choose. If I had a choice, I would prefer to be straight. It’s an easier life in many ways. I’m not ashamed of it either, but if I HAD a choice, boy would I choose differently. At least I think so.

I’m sorry to hear that you still experience difficulty with your travels. It’s interesting how you say that you are not happy being gay . I have never heard that before. Hopefully travels will change and soon you will be embracing a different engagement and open acceptance . Stay strong !
