RE: Psychology Addict # 55 | The Role Biology Plays in Defining Who We Are - A Critical Discussion.

Yes, definitely I think that sometimes the attributes we generally attributes to a male or a female is like a societal norm or behaviour which sometimes when it seems switched we tend to showcase concern.
I have a friend who was a cross-dresser and the fact that there were so many attributes that is characterized by female that he obviously exhibited made his parents seek Psychological and mental solutions. The doctor basically said he had character disorder and he might need treatments.
It was like it was a crime for a male to like lipstick application or even fall in love with Pink as a colour.
The thing I Understand by this is that in a lot of circumstances the human behavior isn't really flexible and it seems we've been etched to play a role not just biologically or genetically but also a set of pattern attributed to acceptable and unacceptable values in the society. All in all we stand Unique despite all these rigidity and expectations that seems queer when we do not met or live by, or Imbibe or even fail to culturally cultivate in our life journey as people.

Hate to see you go during the HF21 hoping to have you back

Nicely put @josediccus, we do stand unique in many ways. And it's very saddening that still nowadays in the 21st century, when our knowledge has advanced so much, intolerance or even ignorance push individuals outside the boxes that they are meant to fit in.

I hope that despite everything your friend has managed to keep a cool-head and confident in who he is :) I bet that having you by his side has been invaluable to him.

I trust you and all your loved ones are doing fine.
Lots of love to you from Portugal!

Yeah, he's definitely coping with all the shinanigans around him, it's always enriching to have you blast through with these thoughtful lessons, some times I take days and I'm still ruminating on the invaluability of your posts, they're definitely outstanding. I'm doing more than okay. Have a blest day.
