Recently we rented to a Jane Doe (name changed to protect identity). She is thin, petite and wears flowery, flamboyant attire. Her outfits include leggings or tights in bright colors, short skirts, crazy hats & plenty of jewelry. Although I haven't seen cleavage, she appears to have boobs.
Trouble is, she is actually a he - per his driver's license. The face & voice & legs simply do not jive with the attempt at female impersonation.
Said tenant is very courteous and nice. Although I'm much too polite to address the obvious, I would love the opportunity to talk to Jane about her gender. I'm curious if he is in the process of becoming a she. Assuming she wants to look like a she, has she felt trapped/hidden in a male body all her life?
Due to chromosomal abnormalities some babies are deemed hermaphrodites because they lack sufficient sexual organs to determine gender. Our society has long mocked those, especially males, who are confused about their gender.
I vote for replacing judgment with compassion and understanding.
I applaud Jane for her courage in not hiding her identity. I contend that her heart, regardless of gender, loves & yearns & hurts & swells & bleeds just the same as mine....
Very interesting and open-minded of you! I once had a fellow tell me about a kid in his neighborhood who had to choose between being a man or a woman - this boy chose man but wondered if that was the right choice. I always wondered if he was telling me his own story.
ReplyDeleteIf Jane feels like a woman, let her be one. I live a couple hours from the sex change capitol from the US. With the right doctor and the right hormones, you often can't even tell when someone has changed genders. I vote to let them live their lives as they see fit and not judge.
