talking about gender with a friend here last night. she just recently (after talking to ChatGPT) realized that gender and sexuality are separate parts of a person. she is curious because she'd never known a trans person to meditate or think deeply about the inner self, only who focus heavily on outward appearance. I assured her that any sort of awakening I have in the future won't change the way I see my gender, but that overall I see it as a less and less important part of my being. I assume this also just comes with getting older, but more so with becoming.

she said she usually clocks other trans women because they highly exaggerate their feminity (movements, gestures) and I'm confusing because I don't do that 😂 another example she gave was a beauty queen in Thailand who was out for 6 years, went to a pagoda and detransitioned. so she said that could happen to me...

i didn’t realize gender and sex were separate until high school and then sexual orientation is a whole other thing

The beautify of recognizing that gender is a social construct applied to the metaphysical self and other around which perception has been shaped largely through male-dominated institutions is that it frees one from their compulsive need to binary anything. This is wonderful because there are effectively no binaries in the universe.
