The wandering mind can sometimes come up with the most absurd scenarios that question my values and beliefs. It makes a mockery of my own conscience and exposes my lack of self conviction and reveals the depth of my philosophical views - which is embarrassingly shallow.
So where has wandering mind ventured off to and what has it stumbled upon?
"If your partner wants to undergo a sex change operation and remain with you, how would you react and would you be agreeable to the idea?"
Even though I came up with the question, I found myself rather in a quandary about this. I'm not quite sure if I could be with a woman, even if she was a man previously. The illusion of gender is too strong. I have been socially conditioned to be with a man. I believe I am a product of my upbringing. I'm not disparaging biology or nature in any way, but what I am saying is that I'm a firm believer of nurture. The way we were brought up shapes our ideas and perceptions. It does not come internally from within. At least that is my point of view.
Sometimes I think that I am capable of falling for a woman. It would have to be in another time and another place because I just do not have the energy to deal with the stigma that comes with being openly gay in this country. I always take the easy way out - luckily for me, I am not in the position where I had to question my own wants and needs in regards to romantic relationships. It's pretty straightforward at this point. I want sausage. ;)
