It's a thought I can't well articulate, but it's been in my head for ages now. It's this absurd idea that we're all human, under the gender veneer. I'm not even being sarcastic about this– well, not at this point, at any rate.
It's really absurd, because aren't we all essentially our genders? We're Male and Female and That Freakish Other, right? And then we're people. So I have this vague notion that we're people first, and our genders second. Gender being a social construct, and all.
I sometimes think this, when I want to feel like a real human being – maybe I already am, and the gender comes later.
And then I am full of despair, because for serious, how many other people think this?

I think that way. :) For what it's worth.
