Quote of the day

"...our notions of what a human being is problematically depend on there being two coherent genders. And if someone doesn't comply with either the masculine norm or the feminine norm, their very humaness is called into question." - Judith Butler The Believer Magazine - Interview - Issue 2

*ouch*

When I just read this and thought about my post again, I felt like an intolerant asshole. But only for a moment. I don't question anyones humanness, after all- I was ranting against norms, not against people rebelling against them. Well, I don't know if you get me right, but remember: When in doubt, in favour of the accused.
