‘Thank goodness for Blogs’. Now that’s something I thought I’d never say..
I make that comment because I’ve recently read an impassioned statement, which was thought-provoking, touching and slightly disconcerting. The author used her blog to define highly personal thoughts, so passionately that I felt it was inappropriate to respond or comment. But I also suspect that she knew that her blog was providing her with the opportunity to engage with a supportive community, whilst keeping that community at an informed distance. What other medium allows this?
I hope she feels better for articulating her thoughts, and that the writing has given her clarity.
It has made me think about punctuating my blog with up-beat and positive reflections on my gender-confused state. Yes, I am a bit messed up, I admit it. But can you imagine what life would be like if you had never experienced any female desires / male desires and had never questioned gender? Something close to living your life in 2-d rather 3-d perhaps?
So thank goodness for blogs, for personal freedom, and for the silent minority.
