I liked it before puberty when it didn't seem to matter what sex you were. My husband and I are androgynous, and that's fine by me. I can trust him, and though he's very lustful, he's neither piggish nor a perfect gentleman. After puberty I disliked females, because they got all weird. Pretty soon I disliked everyone. Now I feel I've risen above all that and am not engaged in the culturally defined gender stuff. I can focus on fostering harmony, awareness and good communication with my best friend ie husband. We've had our squabbles and tough times and prefer the new patterns mentioned in the previous sentence. Not always easy, but so worth it. The rest of the world can be full of crazy battles and finally we have peace at home. I want to keep it this way. I feel very appreciative of animals because they are rarely liars. People do change, and so it's important to focus on my/our highest values, such as openness, communication, etc, as a protection against degrading changes.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experience in this thread.
