HARD COPY: Boys will be…boys?
As the keeper of an antiquated, dogmatic, and claustrophobic value system of gender and sexuality that continues to have sway over human behavior across the planet, the gender binary requires constant upkeep to stay powerful and relevant.

She finds behavioral bisexuality to be more common than acceptance of the label.
