If women's roles in society are redefined, it means men's roles are also shifting all over the place. I know my progressive male friends are perplexed about who they are even supposed to "be" as men in this world.

As a gender neutral person, I can't relate strongly to binary gendered issues (except ones that relate to me being "seen" as a woman because I am female-bodied), but I have tremendous compassion for everyone.

Gender and gender roles are highly charged topics. Everyone should feel safe discussing *however* those are manifested for him or her (or whatever the PGP) self.

I'd start a gender neutral group but it would have like 3 members, LOL.
