Venus Boys tonight:

What can i say?
Male
Female
Other

I can't say i fully understand the rational which made woman wants to be man.
If it is obtain respect as what some of the interviewees said, i feel that i can well obtain respect as a female even if it IS a more uphill struggle.
If it is to break through conventional thinking of gender, to become androgynous, i don't feel that this is accomplished by piling on the male elements.
I have always thought to be truly "other", it means an elimination of both male or female elements.
What the end of product is, is a myriad of confusion.
Both for me, and i suspect, for some of the other people involved in the documentary.
However, that said, that is only my personal feelings.
Actually i particularly admired one of the characters in the docu, an african american woman who looks good both as a man and a woman, and uses both elements to her advantage.
That is empowerment i feel and is truly liberating.

I am glad i have never questioned my own sexuality or gender, and am happy the way i am.
I say this not to put down others who may have questioned about their gender, but rather relieved for myself, as i can imagine how hard it is to strive to break out of the conventional modes in our society today.
