Gender Issues

Intelligent Life? If Men are from Mars, & Women are from Venus,..
then I think I must be in the right place,..
here on Earth.
;-)

I have "Gender Issues",... for want of a better description (and there are plenty better than that!).
Basically, I don't "get on" with the Fixed BiPolar Gender Scenario.
I know it works for most people & I have frequently wished it did for me too!!
I have lots to say about it & how I feel, but I don't really know how to do so without appearing to rant & rave &/or repeat what I've heard or read from other people, so...

Links

There are thousands of sites out there dealing with Gender Issues & related matters,....
I can only link to a few that I've looked at & found useful/informative for myself,...

- Press for Change is a political lobbying and educational organisation, which campaigns to achieve equal civil rights and liberties for all transgender people in the United Kingdom, through legislation and social change.
Change - the U.K. based support group for people born with transsexual syndrome.
Mermaids - A Family Support Group for Children and Teenagers with Gender Identity Issues.
I wish I had found a group like this when I was younger.
The Gender Trust - The UK Charity Helping with Gender Issues
The Gender Web Project
All Mixed Up - - I can relate to a lot of the experiences/feelings expressed in here.
Center for Gender Sanity - A refuge from male/female dichotomies, sex-based stereotypes, and other gender madness...
(including "Working with a Transsexual: A Guide for Coworkers")
Fashion Freedom - A Fashion site promoting skirts for men... and why not? they're only clothes..
Clothing Rights - all the Fashion possibilities for men
one-piece swimsuits - for men... now becoming very popular in the sporting world & in my opinion more comfortable anyway!!
Boys in Dresses & Frock Suits - A snapshot of History of clothing past, showing that our 'fixed' views of what's masculine/feminine are really only recent, & indeed opposite, in many respects, to what was considered the "norm" in the past.
