There are 2 genders for the beginning of the world- boys and girls. Males have masculine characteristics where as females have feminine.As the cultures developed different tendencies occur.Gays have a bigger part of feminity in them rather than normal men so their behaviour resemble like woman.People can't take it kindly gays and their behaviours that they push gays away from the society, they ignored them-still are- and so gays keep oneselfs to oneselfs and they created their own societies - they created their own bars, festivals, meetings etc. Lesbians on the other hand have both masculine and feminine parts in them.
With the creations of gay things lesbians occur later.They immediately participate gay society so the public named both for lesbians and gays as a full name of -gay! In gays relationships one person of the couple becomes a "man" and the other a "woman". This stratification is only to hoodwink the publis's eye.In cultures there must be woman-man figures in the soicety to prevent the uproar.So because of this public suppression gays stratify themselves.
Holland is the only country that stands for the rights of gays.Marriage, child adoption and other things are legal in there so gays prefer to live in Amsterdam.
I think its wrong to define genders straightly.Some of us may be afraid of the other sex in us.Men often suppresse the feminine parts in them and do everything to put mask of a macho man.Women are too not always comfortable of their masculine parts.They try to hide this to show the outside world that they aren't vulnurable or fragile.
All of these hidings are because this world is the world of the tough,the powerful, the one who could bare every difficulty; but none of these plans can help the person to hide what he/she really is.
But many psychogologists believe that a person is a complex of masculine and feminine parts.So without limiting genders i think we should look this conception of gender as a whole.By this we can be "complete".
Wow, what a thoughtful post, Ezgi. I agree with you that we all have masculine and feminine aspects, yin and yang. For many years I had difficulty reconciling the idea of "femininity" with my strong masculine traits, but I am much more comfortable with myself now. I don't need to be a "girly girl" to express my womanhood. It is unfortunate that society makes so many people hide...
