No, I'm not talking about a shopping trip to your local dept. store....
*Sigh*
Can anyone else here see the irony?
So much of the harmful predjudices & misconceptions that kick around in the world today, be them race, religion, sexuality etc etc related come down to an unhealthy preoccupation with labels and finding a category for everything, & then people getting upset that they're in the wrong category or whatever, or people in one category use them to discriminate against those in another.
Here of all places I'd imagine a higher proportion of members have experienced this. Yet there are lots of loonngg threads going on about "I'm a crossdresser, she's a transsexual, he's transgender, you're a this, they're a that, blah blah blah" There's actually more labeling goes on here than in the big wide world, & it just adds to the confusion.
Come on guys & gals, it don't matter. Drop it. Now. Quit over analysing it & just enjoy being yourself. That is really what is important. Life's tooo short.
