Do you ever feel like you have, or do you reflect on having, "normal gender" privilege?

It seems I do. People rarely question my gender these days. (I've finally stopped looking so androgynous!) People assume that I'm male. Although, I really have to question the 'male privilege' concept I have been raised with. From where I'm sitting, the only 'privilege' is that people expect me to be going into a male-dominated career field, rather than praising me for being 'brave' enough to pursue it.

There is still people who do question your gender very much, it is those that you run from who question you very muchly. People rarely question my gender these days - is not correct at all.

You say you people watch well people watch you too and see a different person all the time, and growing up to be someone is being a decoy of what you really are.

Okay, well shall we replace 'people' with 'random strangers I deal with on a day-to-day basis', which is what I originally intended when writing the above comment. I apologise for not making my point clear enough for you.

you critise others but not yourself don't you. random strangers that you deal with on a day to day basis are you talking about your work only there! Cause that is where you are only just passable not from my view but from others that I hear from.

The question is why would I accept your "apologise for not making my point clear enough for you</i" speech. You are sommeone who I cared about alot and what the hell is happening to that?

Take your fight to another journal, please.

The issue is over.

Sorry for that but the other lj user made a comment that wasn't right in the first place as I had known them. But as my title says the issue of it is over between us. Sorry for this to happen on your lj post.
