When I picked up my little sister from school this pass Friday, she told me her friend was having trouble understanding why one of their other friends has They/Them pronouns. She told me that he thought their where only girls and boys, but she corrected him and said that their are more then 2 genders. She still fully does not understand so I explained, that a persons sexual organs does not classify their sex. sexuality is about your mind and your soul it have nothing to do with this avatar we live in called the human body. I then went on to tell her that they should just be calling and talking about one another using their given names or nick names.

It really amazes me how important labels are in this world, labels truly have no purpose but to segregate humanity. Why does it matter if I am Man, Women, or They? people should be able to just live and be without being tied down by labels and the expectations and norms that come with it. The way we see it is that we are all the same, we are all energy. Masculinity and femininity belong to no one.

In the Ancient Greek, they had a social construct where men were allowed to have relationships with their fellow men and women to men but no construct accommodated women to have relationships with other women.

The legend of Sappho is from the Ancient Greek and it also believed that a young male can be in a relationship with older men as long as the young male is less than 16years old and or in custody of someone, older men can engage in any sexual relationships with the young male (Gays). Whereas in the legend of Sappho, it was against their greek religion or social construct to allow a woman to have an affair with another fellow woman (lesbians). So therefore if any woman had feelings for another woman, they would have to hide behind closed doors and if caught would lead to banishment or sentenced to death etc. Sappho herself was a lesbian and as a poet, she had to hide behind her writings to portray her love and affections. She mostly expressed her feelings in her poems, novels and also wrote about relationships of the same sex but could not actually tell anyone because their social construct didn’t allow it.
