You know what is so ‘funny’ about this?

My daughter, who is about to turn 28, has been so surprised, sometimes even indignant, about people always identifying others as Black, gay/straight/ Asian…. and so forth?!

She’s grown up in a world of ‘people’ who are either people who she thinks are ‘ok…to those who are not’… there are many variables, but essentially she sees people as givers, vs takers, and people who are b.s. and those who are genuine… I hate to oversimplify this… but she has been blessed with an incredible capability to reach people!

We have always shared our ‘gut feelings about those around us, and I am constantly grateful that in this we are simpatico!

My 20-something sons are the same way. With feminism also. They have integrated it into the operating assumptions, the givens of their ways of being. Hey, integrated integrity, they are Penelope's integritists! And yes, we get credit for having helped to shape them!
