It's there in the part of my mind where I care the most. That's the area where I'm most likely to express my difference from you and your perspective. On any subject, I mean. It's not that I mostly think like you; or that I don't. It's that if I don't care about the difference, if it's not part of the topics where I care the most, then I'm less likely to express that there is a difference. So the stuff I emphasize, that's what's important to me. More or less by definition.
It doesn't mean I'm not interested in communication. I'll listen even if I strongly disagree. Whether I'm currently emphasizing or currently empathizing, I do want to communicate.

My first book, GenderQueer: A Story From a Different Closet, is published by Sunstone Press. It is
available on Amazon and
Barnes & Noble in paperback, hardback, and ebook, and as ebook only from
Apple,
Kobo, and directly from
Sunstone Press themselves.
My second book, That Guy in Our Women's Studies Class, has also now been published by Sunstone Press. It's a sequel to GenderQueer. It is
available on Amazon and on
Barnes & Noble in paperback and ebook, and as ebook only from
Apple,
Kobo, and directly from
Sunstone Press themselves.
I have started querying my third book, Within the Box, and I'm still seeking advance readers for reviews and feedback. It is set in a psychiatric/rehab facility and is focused on self-determination and identity. Chronologically, it fits between the events in GenderQueer and those described in Guy in Women's Studies; unlike the other two, it is narrowly focused on events in a one-month timeframe and is more of a suspense thriller, although like the other two is also a nonfiction memoir. Contact me if you're interested.
Links to published reviews and comments are listed on my
Home Page, for both published books.
