Annie, I dont think we disagree at all. I agree that all manner of outside conditions and influences act to place us into conforming boxes both sexually and by gender. I merely believe that we are not all, or even most of us, so rigidly defined in either way internally. Many people are fortunate enough to recognise their exact true nature quite organically. Others struggle their entire lives denying themselves and trying desperately to convince themselves that they do conform. And then there are those who will sooner or later figure out exactly where they belong and who they need to be.
My contension, though, is that if you could totally remove all the societally imposed conditioning and stereotyping (admittedly impossible currently) about gender roles and sexual attraction roles,you would discover that the vast majority of humans would find life partners based not on gender or sex but rather on personal attraction, ..what Sarah laughs at me for calling "the eyes and the heart". By this I mean it would all boil down to the dynamic between two personalities and have nothing to do with gender presentation, per se, or with what kind of genitals each happened to possess.

And now I am really tired of typing on this little cell. Lol
