Me, And My Sexuality

An introduction to me, and more specifically, my sexuality and views on it.

Me, And My Sexuality
Tori Nixon

Sexuality has always been a bit of a controversial issue in the United States. To me, it has always seemed like people were a bit afraid of their sexuality. Afraid of those private bits that so many of us like to smoosh together, and what they make us feel. So I’d like to create a discussion. I want to make my opinions and views made clear, and I’d love to see how everyone else feels too.

My articles may get a bit graphic, but I don’t plan to be vulgar at all. I just don’t want us to be afraid of the words and phrases we use to describe such common experiences we all share. I don't plan to be crude, or insensitive at all, but if anything I say upsets someone, please contact me immediately so we can talk about it. I want to make sure that everyone knows this, so that they will stay away if they do not feel comfortable with something I am saying. So without further ado:

WARNING: Content may be sexual in nature.

Before I go any further though, I want to make sure everyone knows that what I say, my ideas and viewpoints, all come from my perspective, which is a very limited perspective, because it is just mine. I am by no means saying that what I write is absolutely right or wrong, they are just how I feel, and I know many other people feel differently. I want to have this discussion so that we can all make ourselves heard, and understood.

I am, Dalton Manuel Garrido Nixon. I am a 21 year old, Buddhist, Pansexual, cisgendered male, who enjoys cross-dressingto a certain extent. Now, several of you probably already know what those descriptors mean, but for those who don’t, I will explain what they mean to me.

Again, this is what they mean to me, and how I feel, not how everyone else who uses these also feels.

Pansexual: Pansexuality, to me, means that I am sexually attracted to any gender identity that anyone can identify as. Female, male, genderqueer, intersex, androgynous, etc. It doesn’t really matter to me. I am attracted to people. Now obviously, I have my preferences for certain things, but that doesn’t mean I close myself off. Now to me, sexual attraction goes hand in hand with romantic attraction, which is why I don’t refer to myself as panromantic as well. In reference to me, sex and romance come together, so my pansexuality is the same as panromantic, but that is definitely not the same for everyone.

Cisgendered male: I was assigned the sex of male when I was born, and that is also the gender that I identify as. I see gender as less a question of black and white, and extending ray of gray that everyone falls in at a different spot.

Cross-dressing: Now this is the interesting one. Most people wouldn’t think that someone who identifies as a cisgendered male would also enjoy dressing in clothing that is stereotypically considered for women. First of all, I don’t think that clothes can be assigned to anyone gender. It is just fabric that we wear to cover ourselves. Why does it matter whether I wear a button-down and tie, or a summer dress? Besides that, I just kind of enjoy how it feels. It is liberating to a certain extent to not feel like I am being restrained in what I am allowed to wear. I know for some people it is a sexual thing, but for me, it is a just because kind of thing.

Those are just some of the things I use to describe myself, but I am hoping that this gives everyone a better look into me, and will help people see the perspective that I’ll be viewing things from, as I continue to get further into sexuality with these posts.

Now if sexuality is not something you are interested in reading about, that is completely fine. I will also be posting about completely different topics as well. Things from; movies, games, wrestling, poems, stories, and maybe even the news if a topic interests me enough. Everything sexual, will have my warning in the beginning so that you know to avoid it if you don't like it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
