As a white person, I never have to think about race, except on those rare occasions when I am in a non-white majority space.

I never think about being a U.S. citizen except when I am outside the country.

While I have had multiple health concerns over recent years, I am still predominantly able-bodied, and as such, I do not have to think about how to navigate my way through the world.

But gender is different.

Hi Natasha, I was curious to hear more about what you mean, here.

Courage is fear that hasn't said its prayers yet
You don't have to forgive others because they deserve it.  Forgive them because you deserve peace

Fear of others is reminding you that you are in danger of becoming what you hate
Fear of self ensures that you don't become what you hate

Hi Stavraki:

I am sorry I forgot the quotation marks. 

"As a white person, I never have to think about race, except on those rare occasions when I am in a non-white majority space." 

is the first sentence of Julia Serano's article (not mine). 

Sorry about the confusion.
