A response to AA

AA said: Cunt knocker your comments look different from what other woman espouse on this site. I am not sure whether it is deliberate or you are truly non partisan in your outlook.

As far as I know I'm a misanthropic-humanist, androgynous-heterosexual, freethinker-misfit. I'm sure other people would call me something else, but what do I care of their opinion (favorable or not).

I love the world and life, yet hate it at the same time; I can hold complex contradictory thoughts like that simultaneously in my head (well, ok, only sometimess...). Life is beautiful, even when it's terrible, as it were. Reality and freedom are important to me; denial and ignorance are my enemies. I have my own delusions and mistaken beliefs, but I DO seek to challenge them.

But I cannot - and would not - be anything other than female; it informs everything I do and say and see and feel, even if I have masculine traits (because I was athletic). But my brain - ADD-addled tho it may be - is genetically, structurally, endrocronatically, chemically that of a female homo sapien.

I am not now ashamed of being a woman - how could I live with myself if I hated something so fundamental - but I once was, because I grew up thinking it was a bad thing. I don't believe that about myself anymore. I believe many of our cultures across the world don't support our species' growth away from barbarism towards a higher level of being (I'm a fan of the Dalai Lama)that both challenges and recognizes what it means to be human, but I believe this is universal across all lines we stupid monkeys draw around ourselves to keep The Other out. Dummy, he's standing right next to you, facing the same way...
