I feel the same way. I was trying to put myself more in the position that many cis-women are obviously in, in their feelings on the matter.

Perhaps it was a somewhat misguided attempt, but it’s what I was thinking, at that moment in time.

The subtleties of my understanding are always changing. If I’m not growing, changing, I’m dying.

Perhaps I should have emphasized the tolerance, support, solidarity more. Now that I think about it, that’s what I should have done.

I did, however, speak the absolute truth of how I felt, at that moment.

Above all, I try to remain humble, teachable, my opinions not set in stone. I try to see reality as it is, not as I wish it to be. How I wish it to be is very slow in coming, if it ever does.

Time takes time.

Slow and steady wins the race.

PS: I suppose that I’m using Medium as a journal, of sorts. I type out my thoughts…unlike a traditional journal, people, thoughtful and usually kind, give me responses that I often learn from. I’m grateful for all of the responses, especially yours, Carol.🥰🙏🏼😇

PPS: I’ve decided to rewrite it. My understanding, my feeling about it, is changing. It may be a few days before I get to it. I always need time for things to “marinate” in my mind. 🤔
