She's not sure

Something I completely forgot about. On Thursday during English, we had to do these little meaningless survey things. As usual, the fact that they had a 'circle your gender' thing bugged me. But this time...I didn't circle anything. Since they were anonymous, the teacher couldn't look through them and ask who forgot to mark their gender. The muses are squealing remembering it.

Yeah, and that sounds really sexist to me. It's sort of like...when people go "Do you know if he's gay or not? Because, you know, I wouldn't care if he was. I'm just curious." Like, if it didn't matter, then you wouldn't even need to ask.

It's a weird example, I know. But it makes sense to me *shrugs*

Is that Paula woman your counceler? If she tells you it's just a "phase," then just tell her that even if it is a phase, you think that you should be able to make your own decisions. And besides, the best way to get over "phases" is by facing them and dealing with them.
