Thinky Thoughts: Masculine/Feminine Personal Realizations

I have kind of an interesting relationship with androgyny.

The first time that I realized that "girls and boys" wasn't something that made people play in different places on the playground was in fifth grade, when they pulled the girls in my class aside to explain what periods were, in a room by ourselves. Having known the basic biological functions of sex since age seven and a small library already on the subject, I spent the time making a necklace out of the tampons that they had brought in to show us. I knew that I was destined to be a late bloomer and that it was too late for about half the girls in the room, especially the poor girl that already had a C cup and spent most of her time on the playground being harassed.
