attention

I am still having trouble conceptualizing my feelings about gender in certain respects.

We are all, to some extent, a blend of the masculine and the feminine, and transfolk more emphatically so.

But I find certain manifestations of this hard to understand, even as I accept the person’s right to be the way they are.

I know I have mentioned this before but I think I have a bit of a better handle on it now: the way I perceive a photo of a man with a beard, wearing a dress. I am sorry, but I find it to be off-putting. This is just an honest reaction. Obviously his concept of what’s attractive and mine are quite different. Nothing wrong with that.

But, it sets me to wondering why I find his choices so unattractive…
