Writing in his journal, Father Pedro Font describes two-spirit people in the Quechan tribe: “Among the women I saw some men dressed like women with whom they go about regularly." It's an early observation of two-spirit folk from a European perspective.

This whole thread is great, especially if you are going to, are in the middle of, or have finished menopause.
But right here is something I want to talk about, the complete mind fuckery of turbo menopause.

I should wade into there but I don't because of the anger I have at being forced into chemical menopause and having all estrogen stopped so my body doesn't make more cancer.

There is a not insubstantial part of me really starting to resent the utterly anodyne version of romance, sterile and devoid of desire, peddled by Hallmark movies and their ilk.

Goodnight from Janet Rathbone, instinctively leaning in from the family car’s passenger window as if the darkness outside might shatter it at any moment. Goodnight from Freda Dix, rearranging knickknacks on her mantlepiece in hope of apotropaic alignment. Goodnight from Hookland.

This is true, three of my best friends I met This way (more or less)
you know how when you were a little kid you could go up to people and be like, “you, girl with the pink ponytail, do you want to be friends?” and then you were friends?
you can also do that as a grownup; they don’t want you to know this, but people hardly ever say no
