Mistaken Ideas People Have About Sex, And Gender

Too often we put each other in boxes, Christyl Rivers

Often enough, I venture out into the Weird Wide Web to see what people say, what they think, and most of all, what they do.

People have very strange ideas about what we want from one another, and they have incredibly mistaken views about one another. Some of these views seem to be sunk into concrete, hardened into rigid forms, and completely wrong.

We are ONE species among many

The world appears to be more tribal and intolerant now than ever before. These chasms that appear to separate us are largely the result of media wave-making. They are a kind of mirage hovering above the dry desert of our thirsty lives. We can all quench that thirst with science, and compassion.

Never forget, that what all of us thirst for is righteousness. A mirage often offers a simple answer. But there are no simple answers with homo sapiens.

However, as much we see the divide, and we do, we must constantly be reassured that human beings are flawed witnesses, we have more in common than we realize. We are best able to understand one another when we see each other as whole, if not entirely perfect, people.

Trans people and straight people are not at war
