I think lots of people have more patience with other people than they might have with themselves. I'm normally so happy to meet someone who's thinking about the things I wrestle with that I don't care whether they've just discovered the idea that gender might matter or have been deep in activism for fifty years. Since I see understanding the world as a constant, on-going, evolving process, I have something in common with anyone on that path, whatever labels they use, and even whether or not I agree with them. On the other hand, I am incredibly un-patient with anyone who's not even willing to consider that everything they know is wrong ;-) This post poked me to write up something I’d been thinking about for a bit, so thanks!

Maybe they feel like walls to you? You don’t like labels. Maybe they feel like walls to you?
