FluffyPotato - I've found your Medium pieces illuminating. Thank you. But I've also found them confounding coz whilst you give all sorts of details about who you are, your height, what you look like, where you live, what you believe, who you hang with, etc you don't say when you were born or give your age - or even an age range.

Please consider providing this info, as so much of our experience especially around dating, sex, gender ideology & transology seem age or generation-specific.

Best wishes to you.

No, I don't want to dox her. Of course not. I just think that providing her general age would be helpful to appreciating and understanding her experiences and analysis. Coz one's age and the generation to which we as individuals belong does affect what we see as the norm.

I was raised to see myself very much as a product of my time - I'm a Boomer and second-wave feminist who came of age in the 1960s and 70s. But it seems many younger people today are growing up with an entirely new and ahistoric mindset, meaning they think what they are experiencing/have experienced in their brief lifetimes is what all humans have experienced over time.

Please go through all my posts. I don't think you'll find any evidence that I want to dox anyone.

I imagine she is in her early 30s. She's talks about being on the apps. This is a current situation she's describing and one that she's been navigating for a number years. She also seems to have moved into that second stage of womanhood. The stage where we look back and question what has happened to us.
