Each person had different labels. As I get older I realize labels don't help anyone. They are more hurtful because once a label is applied that is what you expect a person to be or behave as. When they don't you're world is skewed and you don't know what happened. When that happens I know it's me that has to rethink and change my attitude and thoughts.

I've always been more comfortable hanging out this the guys - less drama, more down to earth, etc. And luckily I have raised my daughter the same way!! And taught her to except everyone for who they are and not to judge.<br /><br />I too am a gay man in a woman's body!!<br /><br />Susan R<br />susanmik AT gmail DOT com<br />(blogger will no longer hook to my google account - tried about 10 times!! too frustrating, but I am really NOT anonymous!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-21767405132275215422011-06-06T13:32:51.620-05:002011-06-06T13:32:51.620-05:00Exactly Patti!

I thought for a long time that because I grew up climbing trees with a book in hand just to sit among the branches while I read, that I was a freak of nature. I played baseball, softball, grew up surfing the waves in Southern California and was a mean boogie boarder. I always hung with a group of guy friends. My mother, being the typical bride of the 1950's permed my hair and dressed me in lace and ribbons and gave me a rabbit skin muff to keep my hands warm. UGH! I hated that. All I wanted was a pair of cords and my tattered Vans and my baseball glove and my glove oil. I was thrilled when I was able to go to school sporting two black eyes from being hit in the nose with an errant bat. I've always hated being stereotyped and yes, I have worn heels and gotten compliments on my legs and my hair and appreciated it but the real me wants nothing more than a seat in Dodger Stadium watching Don Sutton pitch and watching Ron Cey catch. Wow! Thanks for the trip down memory lane today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-10757275530597398812011-06-06T13:11:54.285-05:002011-06-06T13:11:54.285-05:00First off, I hear and get what you're saying s...First off, I hear and get what you're saying so don't get me wrong with what I'm about to say. I agree that it would be super great if people wouldn't be so judgey. Between that and prejudice, life is full of land mines. But, that being said, I do think that humans must label male versus female based on genetalia. Yes, the exception is the transgendered individual. Eventually society will have to change certain legel definitions to cover those who are transgendered. First, we need more people to accept them. (Sorry, got off topic) I am a lot like you, I have always had lots of male friends, I love fast cars, I like high octane movies etc but I am still all woman. I hope in the future that more women feel safe and secure enough to express their inner person and not just be girly like society expects. Of course, I want M/M fiction to find it's way into the "mainstream" and I would be ecstatic if all gays were accepted. I think it will happen, it will just take time. The book looks great, BTW.Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-21226086067431867692011-06-06T10:42:42.686-05:002011-06-06T10:42:42.686-05:00Hi, morning everyone!

We are all a bit of male, and female inside us. And what Carl Sagan would call- 'star-stuff'. We're special, individual, and each of us has a right to do as we please without harm. Hugs to all of you, you are what makes me think there is hope in this world. xxxoooGA Hauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665035021111278594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-91231445636679461162011-06-06T09:26:00.302-05:002011-06-06T09:26:00.302-05:00Morning G.A., everyone.

I think you need to tell us how you really feel now, lol.<br /><br />Seriously - we are labeled by our biology but humans are such complex creatures, gestalts of experience and character. We are so much more than mere biology. I worry for our girls these days, with all the images bombarding them. (I must be pretty, I must look like the women on Sex in the City, I must find a man to be fulfilled, there must be something wrong with me if I don't like the same things everyone else does.)<br /><br />Raise your girls to be themselves, folks, not princesses.Angel Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083874247515480776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-50436766459271225402011-06-06T04:15:38.720-05:002011-06-06T04:15:38.720-05:00That was great to read!

Unfortunately, the old adage of "you can't judge a book by it's cover" is seldom actually taken into account. I do all the girly things with my daughter I'm supposed to - but I'd never tell her I'd rather be kicking the football around the garden with her brother than painting her nails and having tea parties. You only get one shot at this life and you have to remain true to yourself. All my friends know the genre I write in and some like to read and some don't, which is fine by me - but I refuse to stop writing about gorgeous, sexy, hot men and mould myself into the type of writer I look like on the outside. The inside is much more fun...<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and I'm looking forward to being you when I grow up ;)<br /><br />Please enter me for the drawing *bounces up and down*Lisa Worrallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285297311686194285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-88882993885178482452011-06-06T01:41:49.337-05:002011-06-06T01:41:49.337-05:00TY for visiting Lee.

And I also agree, it might help us live and let live, if we just took a moment to stop and think and refrain from judging. We all have a little male and female inside us.<br /><br />Great post!
