Gender Fluid

You know, the whole gender fluid thing is nothing new. I know, conservatives will have you believe otherwise and they will use it to push their ideology, sadly, putting people who vary from the norm, if in fact if there is a norm, down.

People have lived beyond the normal genders since time began, probably secretly, probably relocated to the outer areas of society.

For want of a better expression, there have always been men of more and more levels of femininity, and women of more and more degrees of masculinity. I know that's not really the deal with gender fluid, I use it more for illustrative purposes, however. There have always men who live as women and women who live as men and everything in between.

These variations, feelings of self, the way people have felt have always been. It really is nothing new.

The difference now is that we are giving it a name, and it is coming out of the shadows to be seen by society, and we are accepting people who are different.

It is sad that conservatives, who have no idea of life beyond missionary position and Sunday school, chose to use some of the most vulnerable members of society to make their ideological candles burn brighter.

Imagine how much better life would be for all those people of non-conforming gender if the 'conservative religious biggots' stopped using them as a punching bag.
