Sadly, those are just words. Usually written by one person and re-read by another, the meanings don't line up. They are intended to be read by the masses, ie, they're just pablum, what the masses want to hear.
I've heard similar words designed to make me feel I was molested as a very young boy, yet I was very willing to be a "girl" for my "molester" which led to sex. The whole thing (a circus really played out in a court of law) was as if I had no choice! I certainly had no voice in the matter!
That sex (ours) was seen by this polite society as wrong, it was homo-sex not "honest" straight sex! I did it simply because I wanted to be an honest girl. I was not molested but I did become an active girl!
Actually, I am a Rocket Scientist.
Also hormonally odd (my blood has 46xy chromosomes anyway) and for most of my life, I looked male, and lived as one, trying to be the best Man a Gal could be. Anyway, in May 2005 that started changing naturally for reasons still unclear, and I'm now Zoe, not Alan : happier and more relaxed not to have to pretend any more.

This blog, written by a rocket scientist, is a fascinating collection of information, both personal and scientific, regarding intersex, transsexualism and related psychosocial and psychosexual issues. ... It is erudite and heartfelt. Just read the posts about the passport issue. You won't know whether to laugh, weep or crawl into a ball and rock gently in a corner - an amazing person. - David --- The reason I so appreciate bright, perceptive people - as opposed to ideologues whose intelligence does little to illuminate - is that they manage to both instruct and learn with a certain grace. Among such rarities in the transblogosphere is Zoe, whose direct speech and clear humanity always make her worth reading, even if one doesn’t always agree with her every conclusion. - Val --- The following is a request for permission to archive your A.E.Brain blog site which we have wanted to do for several years... The Library has traditionally collected items in print, but it is also committed to preserving electronic publications of lasting cultural value.... Since (1996) we have been identifying online publications and archiving those that we consider have national significance.... We would like to include A.E.Brain blog site in the PANDORA Archive... -Australian National Library

Good post, Zoe!

Again, good post, Zoe.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Republicans actually started taking those ideals seriously. This was followed by a decade of stagflation.
