Metaphysics and people who are very into philosophy are just needlessly complicating things, in my “opinion”.🤭😉
As I see it, children are happily ignorant and therefore free of the restraints of the Patriarchal Dominance Hierarchy’s Gender Binary. They become indoctrinated, “brainwashed”, if you will by a steady stream of influences, layer apon layer, as they grow and are continually bombarded with the cis-het, Patriarchal Dominance conditioning that pervades our society.
By the time they become of an age to start thinking about self-motivated goals and ambitions, the Patriarchal cis-het expectations have been quite thoroughly “loaded into their hard-drive”, as it were.
From that point on, I think I explained my view in this essay;
“Fear of Discovery or Denial as a Way Of Life” by WeeziSbaby https://link.medium.com/Ruizi1n0bab
and this one as well;
“Is everyone pan-sexual?” by WeeziSbaby https://link.medium.com/uYZqkdyviab
I arrived at these conclusions from 62 years of observation,(of myself and others), and a deep exploration of human psychology, knowing instinctively the truism expressed so well by Hermann Hesse;
“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.”
The above essays explain my position, well I think.
Nevertheless, your essay was quite interesting. My experience was different, knowing, since I was a toddler, and being quite unconsciously an effeminate boy…until entering a public Jr high school. I was, then, very rudely made aware of what was “wrong” with me, to put it mildly…
Thanks again. ❤️🙏🏼

PS: there are probably a few more of my short, “word-vomit”, essays that include the subject, but it’s after two am, and I’m 62 years old…
Again, I did enjoy it.
