Today on Twitter I learned that for a long time I have been labouring under the delusion that I was just a plain old adult female human.

When in fact what I am is a loose, shifting constellation of biological, political, & cultural phenomena. A constellation!

Next time the
childrens father refuses to take any time off work to care for them when they are ill - expecting me to do it all because I am the female, I will tell him.

Mate, I am a loose and shifting constellation. Sort it out.
What's best about all of this is that I have been enlightened as to what I really am by a person who - by their own description - was a "man in make-up" only four years ago.

Now this person is an authority on how I, and all other women, may define ourselves. We've all been
getting it wrong apparently. But luckily they are now here to tell us what we are, what we can say, and what we can think.

It might all feel a bit familiar, but actually it is totally new and progressive to have ideas we don't necessarily agree with imposed on us.
Telling women what they are, and what to do is the latest thing. So 2018. Nobody's ever considered it before.
