Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 cassie I to agree but in the real of society they place of so much power to the views and ideas of what woman are to be. media portrays of htem being thin, tall and much maked up. there is of this hidden code of expectations for wamans to be of a certain standard of feminine and so called sexy and for this woman have a mixed role of expectations and are penalized as a neagtive if htey do not fit any or parts of those expected roles. Womans in general not only have of that but they also have this hidden code of inclusion and exclusions of others in thier little social groups and so many are excluded if they do to fit their ideas of a female social pecking order role. Not sure if sayed that right but it is of the words I to hear much so. and in some ways can comprehend of it because can see how much in the life of me have been excluded since childhood from other females because I to simply lack the ability to reflect a strong internal awareness of being female. They also have of a strong language code that they seem born with and have an internal manual within them and this is where for me cant ever compete or keep up with because I was to be born without that manual. the sad is hte manual is not somethings you cna order if you got cheated in life without one. it is not something other womans will share to be willing to disclose to you either. So it is not just appearance we are left behind in but the whole realm of being feminine. Even while being born one dicated by body structures I to simply was not given the intenral gender of having a clue hwo to match up to a gender given to me. Yet in all true can honsestly say do not feel male either. Although socially can feel more connected to the way they communicate and behave. So when I to like to wear of mens soft long sleeved t shirts like things it is ot with an intenral intent to connect to a male role but is due to sensory issues only that makes me feel more able to cope life if have of clothings that do not interfer and distract me from conecting to people around me. it is of adapting one parts of my life to reduce some of the issues that cause me an inability to connect. Now off topic I to be of haoving a bad day. the pains in me are of much flared up this day. I to also feel flu like even though not having a flu. I to yesterday placed of a spoon full of steaming hot rice into my mouth unaware of the hot to it until too late and because problem solving is not normal I to swollowed it as my way to get rid of the hot burning but the problem solving had scolded the whole inside of my throat and esophogus as it is of hard to swollow of foods this day. I to not feel fevered but just feeling a little with mild vertigo and weak and muscles aching. I to took of two tylenols and one of my neurontin and so now feeling sedated on top of all this. when my body is of ill so much it does not allow me to feel as if connected in complete but in breif like dream states. I to come here because want some sense of reality of connecting but it exhausts of me when in this state. Sondra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sondra, I do not believe that God intended us to wear high heels, make up or perfume. I have never met you in person so I have no visual image of you but I can tell from your postings here and your other writings that you are a beautiful person. God created you female and gave you a caring, nurturing spirit. I think that society's standards are way out of wack. I believe that very few women, NT or otherwise, truely fit those standards. All through out my life I've felt awkward with my femine appearance. People have always tried to " fix " that area of my life. I think I do it a little better now than I used to with hair and certain clothing changes. I don't do heels though and make up is minimal if at all (eyeliner and perhaps a little blush usually just for special occasions not everyday). My hair has to be cut pretty much in a wash and go style I don't have the coordination to style it in any particular way. When people try to change that part of me, I try to explain to them that's just not who I am. Much of my social time is spent either at church (where you are excepted for who you are " mostly " lol.) or at the horse farm where no one is expected to look especially feminine. sondra wrote: cassie I to agree but in the real of society they place of so much power to the views and ideas of what woman are to be. media portrays of htem being thin, tall and much maked up. there is of this hidden code of expectations for wamans to be of a certain standard of feminine and so called sexy and for this woman have a mixed role of expectations and are penalized as a neagtive if htey do not fit any or parts of those expected roles.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sondra, I do not believe that God intended us to wear high heels, make up or perfume. I have never met you in person so I have no visual image of you but I can tell from your postings here and your other writings that you are a beautiful person. God created you female and gave you a caring, nurturing spirit. I think that society's standards are way out of wack. I believe that very few women, NT or otherwise, truely fit those standards. All through out my life I've felt awkward with my femine appearance. People have always tried to " fix " that area of my life. I think I do it a little better now than I used to with hair and certain clothing changes. I don't do heels though and make up is minimal if at all (eyeliner and perhaps a little blush usually just for special occasions not everyday). My hair has to be cut pretty much in a wash and go style I don't have the coordination to style it in any particular way. When people try to change that part of me, I try to explain to them that's just not who I am. Much of my social time is spent either at church (where you are excepted for who you are " mostly " lol.) or at the horse farm where no one is expected to look especially feminine. sondra wrote: cassie I to agree but in the real of society they place of so much power to the views and ideas of what woman are to be. media portrays of htem being thin, tall and much maked up. there is of this hidden code of expectations for wamans to be of a certain standard of feminine and so called sexy and for this woman have a mixed role of expectations and are penalized as a neagtive if htey do not fit any or parts of those expected roles. Womans in general not only have of that but they also have this hidden code of inclusion and exclusions of others in thier little social groups and so many are excluded if they do to fit their ideas of a female social pecking order role. Not sure if sayed that right but it is of the words I to hear much so. and in some ways can comprehend of it because can see how much in the life of me have been excluded since childhood from other females because I to simply lack the ability to reflect a strong internal awareness of being female. They also have of a strong language code that they seem born with and have an internal manual within them and this is where for me cant ever compete or keep up with because I was to be born without that manual. the sad is hte manual is not somethings you cna order if you got cheated in life without one. it is not something other womans will share to be willing to disclose to you either. So it is not just appearance we are left behind in but the whole realm of being feminine. Even while being born one dicated by body structures I to simply was not given the intenral gender of having a clue hwo to match up to a gender given to me. Yet in all true can honsestly say do not feel male either. Although socially can feel more connected to the way they communicate and behave. So when I to like to wear of mens soft long sleeved t shirts like things it is ot with an intenral intent to connect to a male role but is due to sensory issues only that makes me feel more able to cope life if have of clothings that do not interfer and distract me from conecting to people around me. it is of adapting one parts of my life to reduce some of the issues that cause me an inability to connect. Now off topic I to be of haoving a bad day. the pains in me are of much flared up this day. I to also feel flu like even though not having a flu.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Carol I to much like farm like places although some do not smell very good but I to love of animals so love of farms. and yes it is of true you can be of just a boy like way at farms. I to be ot had two very bad experiences on horses so fearful of htem now as far as to ride of them but would like ot learn to over come of that. I to want to get self back on a horse to learn to ride of them and some day be okay if they run when I to be on them to me it will feel freeing to just ride on a fast running horse, but that will be of a long time before can get to that level. Here in my areas it is of too costly for me to pay to go to horse back places. Church yes my church is of called Grace at Polaris and it is of a larger ministry but it is of very accepting of me and embraces of who I to be within the ministry and such. this church does embrace people of speical needs. we even have of a older man who is mobile impaired and appears tobe one with CP and Intellectual impair, but R.. moves hims chair all over the sancuary and gives out his hugs to those he wants to . No one tells him you have to leave that chair sit in one spot and not distract others as that isot his cognitive level he just wants to show love to people and embrace who they are . R... has much freinds there who do care over him as a person. Some of the chruch members have even began to be a active advocate for him in his care facility and life. these people arrange for hims transportation every sunday to church and they have others who travel on the opposite side of our city to pick up a lady who is complete blind to bring of her too and they do not see her as the poor blind lady but that they see her by her personhood. never seen ofa chruch like this in my whole time of church places. So for me the two places feel most safest to be me is of church and my therpay place. My therapy place Monday finally added a female person to my group and so this maked me happy. she is of possible aspergers and is of a poet and writer too. so I to felt of a connect to her much so already.
