I think it'd be easier if there was a way to DEFINE gender, and what makes you a man or woman or something in between. Are there other genders? If so, what are they and how are they recognized?
And how do you recognize an eating disorder, for that matter? In a world where most women are said to have disordered eating, where the behaviors considered sick for a thin person are considered healthy for a fat person... I mean who can tell? Some people even think all fat people have an eating disorder, which I don't buy because it's too simplistic and anti-fat.
I just don't know where I fall, or whether I fall in between, and now I hear that voice in my head again, "oo you special snowflake, you think you're sooo different".
I'll just go to bed, I think, and listen to Alice Munro stories on audio. I'm not sure why Munro's stories soothe me so; they're usually set in the old days when things were considered simple, and life had a very strict order. But I like how she dissects that order and turns it on its head.
Meanwhile, Osku the cat is digging in the bookshelf for possible stray treats and sneezing from the amount of dust up there. She's aodrable but also really annoying. I can't decide which one wins tonight.
