We get to experience "gender" in ways that very few others even realize exist. We get the opportunity to examine what gender even means to us and to make conscious our sense of who we are and how we move through the world. People who are content to behave as they were expected likely have no awareness of those possibilities. I feel blessed to have been given this genuinely extraordinary opportunity.
I understand that, but some people don't
have to experience gender in that way. And don't
want to. Some people just want to be... Dave, or Sharon, or Barry, or Sarah. Where their mark on the world has nothing to do with gender. Sometimes ignorance is bliss unless you aren't afforded it. Then you make the most of it. Some people have that opportunity. Some do not.
