Thank you, Ray, for the thoughtful reply and share. It’s heart-warming to see the evolution of both our understandings of gender and sexuality as well as our vocabulary to talk about them. You’ve helped me clarify my own preference for “queer.” I’m a gay guy, but I suspect if nonbinary had been part of my vocabulary earlier in life I might have adopted it. Don’t feel strongly about my own gender identity, but I know I’m drawn to men like a moth to a flame. From Southern Baptist Sissy to Who’s He?!….that’s me. :-)
Our mutuality and reciprocity is vlued by me. If I am still evolving then I am sure that you are still following your pathway. The idea of "Man" when I was young was quite toxic and I rejected it, without claiming to be "woman". I am psychologically anfrogynous for sure but I also see the non-toxic and gentle, loving vulnerability of men, too, - as is evidenced in some of my comments on your creations. I am more comfortable being the kind of man that I am.
