Aspies For Freedom

I have not thought of myself as a woman - now that you mention it.  I happen to be married and have kids - so I guess I sound pretty typical.  I happen to be a woman - the definition - done growing, adult female.  I don't think my gender has anything at all to do with how I am, however.  I have not made friends with more women than men, or with more people my own age or with similar nationalities or religions. I think my gender need not enter into any issue.
I believe this is because I was brought up un-classified - (in all ways).
I have a brother, and he and I were treated the same - until we acted differently -(so being treated differently had nothing to do with that I was then a girl and he a boy). I mowed the lawn, shovelled snow, built models, went out on jobs with our dad, went to museums, broadway plays, dinners as much as my brother.  If you are brought up without sexism, without being classified, or without being given the thought to strive to be like the majority, .... If some girsl know less about changeing a tire, or building shelves etc., it is because no one thought to teach them, not becasue they are not able. Imagine being treated differently (and taught less) just because of how you look?  (boy/girl) (My daughter is a pretty long haired blond - what if we just focused her on her hair and nails and not on math and science- how horrible!)
I am thankful my family genetically and intellectually didn't pass that kind of thinking on to me. (sexism, ageism, racism, elitism, all bad)
I don't think of myself as a woman or as a girl, (I do look like a woman - that for me can't be avoided what with the boobs and all LOL) I don't think of myself as being wierd or normal, or average or above average, or even tall or short (though I am almost 6 feet tall) or as smart etc., I am not classified, I am just me - there is one of me. (I am a human being however).  
What is my brain?  It is unique, no two are alike.

I have weird hormones too it seems (doctor hasn't shown enough concern to check it out more thoroughly).  I have a very low-pitched voice for a woman. I've only menstruated naturally 3 or 4 times my entire life, and I'm almost 21.  I was put on birth control (despite never having had sex and no intentions of it anywhere in the near future) because I was told it would regulate my cycle and get rid of the excess hair in the male areas - I actually shave my chin/neck because it gets dark and thick, my upper lip too once in a while, though the hair there is lighter and less noticeable.  Well, turns out it didn't do anything for the hair, and really, I'd rather go back to no periods, because it's just a hell of a lot easier (I'm scared of tampons, so since I have to use pads it interferes with my horseback riding).  Therefore I've stopped the pill and have one less hassle and one less expense in my life. I was one hell of a tomboy when I was little, but maybe that's because I have 2 brothers and no sisters.  I hate wearing skirts or dresses - I haven't worn one since high school (I had to wear them for orchestra concerts)...jeans or scrubs are much more comfortable  

I figure I'll just be me, screwed up hormones and all   But the whole excess testosterone related to autism thing sure explains a hell of a lot more than I expected.

I was barefoot for my wedding, I didn't even buy shoes as I am a bit prudent as well and figured I am being married on a beach in Aruba (on a rock on a beach) (with no family) and why new shoes? who is going to see me?  How to even wear heels or shoes on a beach? I had flip flops, but I took them off.

Hi batman.  Of course, I disagree. Posting for general rights of freedom is not inherently bad.  My character is to be kind and reasonable.  I am not changed.   It is a good charecter.

The recent fiasco has not shed light -on me - This fiasco, going back to the Lucie banning etc., has continued to shed more darkness and sadness for the site.  

Bye for now!
