Or she is a trans woman or non binary.

It's pride week here and this year they have moved most of the events and the parade to my neighborhood. Walking around the last few days I have seen a lot of people I have met over the years while working different events.

At one time I would have wondered about some of them and tried to decide if they were he or she but I find I just don't care to even try to pin that down any more.

We are all on a spectrum of sexuality and I just can't put people into binaries.

The staging for today's parade was right here on three streets next to my house and my my granddaughter was thrilled to amass a huge pile of cool swag including five Frisbees, buttons, beads, flags, stickers, tattoos, and even a pair of human lungs (a quit/don't smoke thing).

I have been finding myself releasing myself from any need to "figure it out" too.

With a couple NB friends, and my kids having multiple friends who exist outside the binary of gender, it's kinda nice. I shift my attention toward ensuring that I use correct pronouns when I know them, and being more careful to NOT use incorrect pronouns when I'm not sure.

I'm also really happy to see my kids' generation (or at least some/more of them) feeling as comfortable as they do to identify and express both sexually and gender however they wish. I'm so happy they have words for these options, rather than being left to JUST feel like a weirdo or outlier for not feeling part of the heteronormative, binaried gender, dominant culture. It gives me hope that more kids will be growing up to be themselves. I still hear the stories of the bigoted world that is predominant, but seeing more acceptance is really nice.

I wanted to engage the cashier in conversation and concluded it wasn't any of my business.

This is very true.
