Idealist that I am, I think its more than tolerance... its acceptance.

I mean, I tolerate bad weather, office dress codes, traffic jams but I can't say I accept them. I can't stand any of them.

People however I try to accept. With all their differences. I've always believed that no one is superior because of gender, race, religion, political affiliation, etc. I believe we each are more in control of our future than we realize sometimes.

A woman, a man, a woman that used to be a man, or vice versa, society pushes the "gender" thing. If everyone said "phhhhuuttt" to that, it would be great. Put babies in whatever color they look cute in, or when they are old enough whatever they like. I'm always confused by the desparation sometimes exhibited by parents to "be certain" people know the gender of the new baby (blue for boys, pink for girls). It's new, it's chubby, it has hair or it doesn't, its cute... when I'm gootchie-gooing all over the little punkin heads I certainly don't care if its a boy or girl. Course, I'd probably let them choose their own name when they got old enough.

I know... I'm odd. A very dear friend of mine who is oh so very astral/astrological/metaphysical based told me once I wasn't from this planet. That this was my first life on earth. Sometimes I think she was right...
