8. I appreciate that but still

I am kind of crazy like this - I obsessed by ideas - what I mean is that I was stymied studying physics until I could understand electromagnetic stuff. I just get to a point and then get stuck there. Fell a month behind my class trying to get over this, finally a light clicked and I could move on and catch up.
In this case, I can accept I will never really feel the way someone else does, if anything I feel more asexual now. I never felt particularly like a woman in the way others describe it, except as part of the rights fight. Not wearing makeup, and wearing jeans all the time, I am frequently mistaken for a male, where my very pretty straight brother is often mistaken for a female - some mixed up genes we have, ha ha. So I guess, over time , I have just given up caring who is male and who is female. What ever you want, is OK. I am not stopping or judging anyone, I just can't get my mind around it. Intellectually, I understand, gut level, I do not. Not that it is your problem, just something I am working my way through. Eventually something will settle in this rusty old brain.
