Been going through my old floppy disks and I found an essay on Holism. It’s most likely that it was written by, or was given to, my sister who works in nursing/social services.
The thing that got me most interested was this table:
| Person | Cake |
| - Spirituality
- Personality - Physical Appearance - Emotions - Gender - Sexuality - Genes |
- Flour
- Eggs - Milk - Icing Sugar - Caster Sugar - Water - Colouring |
(Frankly I love how genes are the most unimportant part)
But this got me thinking. Assuming my sister wrote this, or at least read it, she might be aware of gender not equalling sex. I know that she had a service user with special needs who preferred to wear dresses even though he was male-bodied. There was a big fuss about this from some of the other nurses but my sister (quite rightly) pointed out that he was much calmer when he was just allowed to wear what he wanted, and it wasn’t harming anyone else.
I have to admit, in my imagination, when confronting my family about my gender and sexuality, I’ve always gone to her first. Whilst I’m not sure if she actually agrees with many of the queer issues, I know she at least has some knowledge and understanding of it.
I suppose I just wanted to say I’m feeling a little better now than I have been about the whole thing. I’ll be talking about it soon to one of my best friends IRL. If all goes well then the next best friend will be told over summer. And then maybe a few of the other cool people.
Also I find it funny that the table refers to people as cakes. Cake! It’s the only thing that matters because it’s YOU!
