Hmm, this is wonderful.

I, too, thought "ho crap! How did I miss that?!" I've studied the difference between gender and sex in classes before and it's an issue that I feel very strongly about but the disparity between the term "genderswap" and what fandom was using it to refer to just didn't register at first.

See, I grew up in a really conservative Christian family that views anything outside of a heterosexual, cisgendered perspective (for lack of a better word) was wrong and sinful. That never has and never will sit right with me and I could go on and on about how it's caused me a great deal of grief and feelings of shame and isolation...but it's beside the point and I digress.

What I really wanted to say is: I am so glad to have found a community -even one that's just on the internet- of like-minded people who are so open and willing to discuss these issues and perspectives with such care and respect.

Yours and iambickilometer's posts bring up such good food for thought! Thanks for (re)opening up my eyes! ♥
