1. Frankly I'm baffled

Is is just me that finds the whole gender-role and definition thing has seemed to be overblown all my life. It certainly seems far less innate and more a learned set of behaviors than many people seem to define these issues. Having moved from an urban setting to a rural one in my teen years, I was blown away at how idiotically conformist with gender identity issues every single one of those rural human animals seemed absolutely obsessed with, that any breach or even a perceived transgression nonconforming with their gender expression norms was cause for full ballistic altercations. It just seemed extra stupid to me.
I've always been disappointed in, for instance the men's sections of clothing departments stocking nothing more flamboyant than a damn mattress cover, dull colors, mind numbingly bland.
These are the exact definition of fake "controversies" to me. Not one notion of value to be gained, no real virtue in any of it.
