I'm less and less interested in Gender Roles both in heteronormative culture and queer culture; queer culture having more genders and therefore more gender-related boxes (identities) but in my anecdotal experience being as prone to outside categorization as heteronormative culture. I'm a lot more interested in what an individual's natural inclination is, how can they channel and express that in a healthy way, what that makes them interested in, how that interacts with their social groups... I mean for both heterosexual, cisgender people and for queer people. maybe it's because despite my frequent inner turmoil I've come to accept and enjoy my physical form, I'm interested in my internal inclinations and curious about where they lead instead of agonizing over what it means or how much at odds it is with whatever script I'm supposed to be using. gender diversity is normal and helpful and that's a comfort to me, and it's a comfort to think that to some extent this version of me was inevitable. maybe it's my homosexual privelege speaking lol but there's simply no way for me to have ever fit in as a heterosexual without compromising my personal integrity, there's no way for me to have pretended my way through a job that requires different skills and interests than the kinds of jobs I have now, and I've been lucky to be generally encouraged in finding my way through that particular maze. I'd like for avenues of self-acceptance and self-actualization to be available to more gender diverse people instead of this current focus (as it seems to me from my limited perspective) on physical appearance primarily. having those outlets is important and material culture is beautiful but why is it almost exclusively based on aesthetics, body modification, clothing, etc... and because this is the piss on the poor website I mean I'd like to see more self-acceptance in queer culture in addition to having access to things like surgeries, HRT, clothes, etc
