How is honey blonde not light brown?

Because I want to be BLONDE!

If DH dies, I’ll market myself as anthracite blonde.

Is it just me or is it ridiculous? CIS gender, demisexual, pansexual, hetereoflexible, bisexual, uses she/he pronouns, and the list goes on. I don't even know what half of the hundred of gender identities mean. Who thought this up and did they do this to make life more complicated? Are there more non heterosexual people in America now?

They forgot trysexual.... I’ll try anything sexual

I am extremely socially liberal and always have been. I never struggled to accept transgenderism (or sexuality).

But I do struggle to accept this gender spectrum. Secretly I have to admit to thinking that many who proclaim gender fluidity, etc. have mental illness and have jumped on the bandwagon because it's socially acceptable now, or they get to feel special for being different. But I know people used to say the same kinds go things about being gay, etc.

Anyway, I was dating in my late 30s after divorce. This was a few years ago so the gender stuff was already out there. It's somewhat amusing. But the majority of people still identify with one gender and it's not hard to find someone who fits the gender you're looking for. As always, it's harder to find a quality match. I don't think it's any different these days.
