gender identity is not really important


I realize that I'm sort of feminine and sort of masculine and that I am a female bodied person in a romantic/practical partnership with another female bodied person but I feel incredibly uncomfortable with every single label that exists to compartmentalize this reality. I don't want special attention because it's not really anything special it's just the way my being crystallized just like we all have beings that crystallize into personalities and expression and habits of mind. Sometimes I am more feminine or masculine than others my body has a natural eb and flow with this energy I don't fight it and am learning just to flow with it. And PLEASE just because I am with a woman does not mean I dislike men. I LOVE men and have had relationships with them and I would again but when I asked Spirit for a spiritual partner who could walk with me through the fires of healing and awakening at this time on earth I got Jesse. I did not specify if I needed my partner to have a dingdong or a hooha so I got the right soul for me. Thank goodness I was not hung up on a ding dong or hooha preference because I might have ended up with the wrong partner and wouldn't that be just another bum deal for me.
I do want to feel comfortable just being myself and I've taken that liberty from a young age on. From gay to bi to transgendered to 2 spirited all of it just bounces right back off of my auric field like it isn't mine. The word 'butch' actually ricochets and is liable to put your eye out. I've never felt comfortable around people who strongly identify with these labels. Most of my friends and family are strait normal people because I need deeper qualities than gender preferences or expressions to keep someone near and dear. Yes, I am just a little bit different in this way and at the same time yes, I realize that these things are incredibly superficial in comparison to the depths a soul can hold. Souls do not have a gender as far as I can tell so all the stuff around that is just human. I don't want special attention for this I want special attention for what kind of person I am being or not being. Gender identities are inconsequential details to me. You are a woman, you are a man, yes okay woop woop let's find out how you love or what you hold dear in your heart. Let's hear what life experiences you have gotten your self through and what you have learned and what you are dedicated to, that's what is important to me.
I know some folks really need to know how to think of me and sometimes I do too, but only when I empathically feel the confusion or whatever is going on for others when they encounter my little universe. It's not a struggle that I own for myself I have just always been me this way. But it's now a 'thing' on the planet and people are all in a tizzy about labeling gender according to the inside perspectives and rights and all that. Well here is what I feel about it. My name is Moon. I have a female body. You can refer to me as female because according to physics that is what is going on here and it's just easier for everyone this way and we can use our energy for other things, like what is really important. Like not do I want to be called 'him' or 'her' but do I prefer crunchy or smooth peanut butter? Because if you can get that right I will begin a friendship with you. And if you get it wrong I will probably still eat the peanut butter anyway and be your friend.
Anyway... I am with another female, but that is not what I see when I look at her, or what I see when I look at myself. I just see Jesse. I just see Moon. I just see you. See me too and please keep me out of the filing cabinet if you can but if you can't file me under 'human' next to all of the other fine folks you may know or meet. I feel like there are bigger fish to fry for our species than this. I'd rather talk about the spiritual pitfalls of awakening during the age of the Internet, or  that is what I've been thinking about. Thank you.
