THE REASON I AM A MAN

The question of identity is one of the most frequently asked questions. Now this leads people to fall into different categories as a form of self identification which in turn leads them to believe certain facts about themselves that are not even roughly right. Transgender is an issue I will never get to understand fully, I am African so the idea of a child coming home and telling their parents," Hey mum, dad, I think I should have been born a boy not a girl( or vice-versa)." I do not condone. Please do not quote me by saying that I categorized Africans as primitive thinkers, if fighting against what I think is religiously wrong is primitive then so be it.This only applies to me.
A short while back I read a book by John Eldredge,Wild at Heart and the caption at the bottom is what really got me interested. " discovering the secrets of a man's heart." Why you may ask? hold your peace am going to explain.
Just for clarification purposes for my confused readers, I am a woman, by all means necessary. I have however always had a problem with my male counterparts. The most frequent one being that I almost always want to grow a pair, not physically though. The other problem being that I cannot seem to keep one, if you know why, keep that one to yourself.This  book led me to a personal revelation, that I have a huge pair, I just never really noticed it.
All my short life I have always been excessively outspoken, I can already hear some of you nod in agreement, its okay I know. Growing up I identified myself with my father more that my mama dearest. While everyone walked around and visited people, my father sat at home and read a book, or scribbled something into his notebook, and that is who I wanted to be. Maybe its the aspect of uniqueness in masculinity that I
seek after because women are somewhat alike, again I said, SOMEWHAT.
According to my newly found word magician, Kamwega keep calm you are still my undisputed favorite blogger, gender is a matter of the spirit. Created by God in His own likeness yet He does not posses a physical body.
I am a man, in all ways but physically.
My father taught me to be a man and I think I am pulling it all fine.
