When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.

I'm a girl's girl. I'm a woman's woman. I'm a cool girl.

Gender is a way to hide from the simple truth we all tell: 'Hey, I'm here, I have a body.'

I'm saying that the depth of exploration of the male psyche and the female psyche is uneven. I see further, deeper renderings of what it means to be a man.

Sex and gender are such befuddling mysteries even for those of us who are in the mainstream that you'd think we'd be wary of being judgmental. Yet much of society clings to a view that gender is completely binary, when, in fact, there's overwhelming evidence of a continuum.

Sex is biological, but gender is mental.

I like being a woman, not a girl.

I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.

I'm feminine, but I wouldn't say that I'm girly in any way at all.

It would be hypocritical of me to use being female in some ways, and diss being female in other ways. It's part of the programme.
