Gender just is. If you have been lucky enough to have been born with the same gender on your inside as the outside, then good for you. Me too. There are others though who have not been as fortunate and have had to endure a life of hardship and largely ridicule from misunderstanding people. Perhaps you could try thinking about the issue from their perspective?
I admit I have some trouble understanding this concept. I mean, when I think of myself, I think ME, gender doesn't come into it. It's only relevant when dealing with others, specifically during mating rituals...Even then, some people are attracted to you, some aren't, whatever their sex or gender may be. My point is, what importance this gender thingy?
