I've talked before about wanting to rid myself of gender entirely. I remember, as a three-year-old in preschool, standing in the boys' line and not having the foggiest idea what was bad about that.

That all sounds very good. I'd forgotten both the author's name and the title of the book you mention.

For some people, gender (including, but not limited to, expression of hegemonic masculinity and femininity) is high-priority. For some it's zero priority. For others it's there somewhere on the list, but it's low priority.

...And I also owe so much to you and all the other readers who've been supportive, thought-provoking, and generally awesome. Anyhow, it's high up on the list for me right now in that it's the big thing I'm working on, but the dream is to be that person who only cares about it in as far as not wanting it to hold anyone back.

"[...]but the dream is to be that person who only cares about it in as far as not wanting it to hold anyone back."

Very much this.

I may have to have a look-see at that book m'self. I mean, I've pretty much come to terms with my own genderweirdness, but am always looking for more/different insight on the whole business.

This is really, really interesting stuff. I hope it works for you, and selfishly I hope you keep posting about it so we can all get a bit of insight.

That...wow. Thank you. I'll do my best.
