Gender Fluidity Made Simple ... or is it? | Eastern NC Now

    I will make no comment about this line of thinking. I send it along only to educate you.

    I changed the educator's name to "Butch".
--------------------------     Butch has a lot to say and here is what he wants to say...

     Butch, who is 26 and also prefers the pronoun "they", says he might wake up as a man or as a woman, sometimes as both and sometimes as neither.
     "How I express it is usually how I dress, how I do my hair. But then my mannerisms change. The way I speak might change a little, too," Butch said.
     Butch agreed that the Internet, along with the emergence of gender-fluid celebrities such as "Orange Is the New Black's" Ruby Rose, has made millennials more comfortable with expressing their gender.
     "There shouldn't be a sense of what's normal and what is not," Butch said. "And (with) more representation of transgender or gender-fluid or non-binary individuals, the more likely it is that we are going to feel safe to also be that publicly."
     There are lots of misconceptions about gender fluidity, according to those in the community. Being gender-fluid doesn't determine a person's sexual preference.
     Gender fluidity isn't the equivalent of trans-genderism, in which a person's gender identity is different from the one assigned at birth.
     Butch balks at the idea that gender fluidity isn't a valid gender.
     "Gender fluidity is much more than saying, 'oh, I want to play up the femininity traits that I have' or that 'I want to play up the masculine traits that I have'.' It's an actual physical, mental and, for me, emotional shift in how I interact with the world."
------------------------     I'm so pleased that I could "educate" you today.

    Would I kid u?

    Lagniappe: At the top of this Blog Posting I said I would make no comment on what I was about to peck out in this Blog Posting. This is a promise I can easily keep because I don't understand any of what I pecked out in this Blog Posting.
