anniemalI am the hardest core feminist you'll ever meet. My business didn't hire men for ten years. We tossed their applications in the wastebasket as soon as they were out the door. A new generation of them made those things acceptable. We (I and the body of us who deemed someone okay to work with us. We WERE a tribe.) seemed to hire homosexuals. Go figure. I had to make the decision to hire, and the decision to fire. UUUGH! I HATED that. No wonder Joanne chucked it onto me.
Gender
I'm troubled by it. Not so much for myself, but for others. I've always accepted being XX, but not the boundaries and suppositions society wants to impose on that chromosomal normality. Look it up, ignoramuses. Being ignorant is a remediable condition. Smart people seek to remedy their ignorance. We are all ignorant about something. Dismissing something you're ignorant about as unimportant is my HORRIBLYSTUPID father's failing.If someone cares about it, it might be important. Check it out.
Most people, I find, are very touchy about transgendered individuals. Not being one, I can't really speakas one. But, as a sorta mixed gender, I understand. I don't love being female. I find skirts irksome except for dancing. I wear trousers for daily life. So do many women. We like freedom of movement and not having to wash the hems. Like the men wash anything of ours. Mostly. I encompass exceptions to my sweeping generalisations.
In my lifetime(65yrs.), I have seen many XXs try to achieve status in society by acting like dominant XYs. Pathetic. Stooping to the warrior level. It'll work for now, but long term....you're a washout.
I've also seen XYs try nurturing. They admit to having that in them and act on it. Men can contribute more than sperm. XYs can actually be real.
So thi nk hard about social roles, gender identity(which is different), and greet everyone you meet with an open mind. As an open window Homo sapiens sapiens.
I really try to do that mostly, and mostly get shot down. But still I wake up again, and tryto not make the world worse.
