I wasn’t one of the boys, and I certainly didn’t fit in with the girls, which is a humiliating and alienating experience.
This is a very important statement. These kind of social outcastings over who follows gender norms cause a lot of people a lot of pain. Often, but not always, this a prejudice against androgyny. If we simply put aside our favoritism for culturally accepted gender norms a lot of other problems would be much easier to resolve. And while I’m on your soapbox here, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t give a shoutout to asexuals. Maybe that’s not totally related but it’s adjacent enough.

Great post. Great journal.
