Hello again.

Many of you may have searched for information about me, which I do not recommend. Honestly, it's quite rude to stalk someone when they're opening their mind to you. Today I would like to talk about something that affects me personally.

Gender.

A book everyone should read sometime is "Symptoms of Being Human" by Jeff Garvin. The book is amazing, and the message is even more powerful. Reading that book let me put into words something that I had been struggling with for a long time.

"The world isn't binary. Everything isn't black or white, yes or no. Sometime's it's not a switch, it's a dial. Ans it's not even a dial you can get your hands on; it turns without your permission or approval."

"It's not a switch, it's a dial."

IT'S NOT A SWITCH.

So there you go.

Gender isn't a simple thing; there's identity vs. expression, sex vs. gender, as well as a thousand other continuums. And as a human race, we're curious. When we first meet someone, we subconsciously evaluate them. Are they an enemy, or an ally? Are they a possible mate? It's in our biology to analyze and make assumptions.

However, in this day and age, remember this:

Don't assume anyone's gender. However, since I'm also trying to keep this even and fair, if you are transgender, genderfluid, non-binary, cis or whatever, don't get upset if someone calls you by the "wrong pronoun." For example, if you dress and look extremely masculine but identify as a girl, don't be upset if people call you a guy when they first meet you. Also, if you suddenly come out as a different gender to people you've known for years, don't expect them to be able to switch how they refer to you instantly. I had a friend in high school who came out as trans when I was in the ninth grade. Now I had only known them for a few months, but I had gotten used to calling them a certain name. I was completely cool with them being trans, but it took me a long time to remember to call them by the right pronoun and name. Sometimes, even today three years later, I slip up. But they don't blame me. There's a person in ninth grade this year that non-binary but still looks like a girl (boobs are really hard to hide and it sucks). I try to remember to say they them and whatever, but they look like a girl, and so half the time I catch myself using female pronouns. But neither of those people blame me. They know I'm not doing it on purpose, and they accept that I'm not going to be able to fix the way I behave instantaneously.

 Life is a dial, not a switch.
