questions

[morgendorfers.livejournal.com]

for a long time, before i moved here, i lived in a place where everybody knew me
when i moved here i had the chance to live in stealth
for various reasons i blew this
this has caused my considerable distress and a sense of failure

in class i am confident and assertive
this has drawn attention to myself and may have contributed to being *read*

question.-in a world of feminism and girl power should i worry about being confident, assertive, intense, or for the sake of stealth be a quiet little miss and try harder

question.- i desire stealth, but am too honest about my past, will stealth bring happiness, or should i say sod it and just be me

hiya, just thought i'd share this. i know it's somewhat out of context, but still. it's an email i sent to the professor of a class i'm taking on diversity in aging: the roles of gender and ethnicity. in this class, gender refers to male vs. female. i was doing some reading for my trans studies class, and i came across a quote that was directly applicable to what we were learning in my aging class on what it means to belong to a minority or dominant group. ok, enough explanation, here's the email:
