I am glad you got to see people who are important to you. I find that the older I get, the more meaningful that is to me: building connections and in particular being able to see people in person.
I would be so thrilled if gender were over. Wow. What a huge improvement in my quality of life that would be!
One person in particular I would have had to take another plane flight to the east coast to see at a different time.
They were talking about gender in terms of social dance partners, but I wish everyone could be free to express exactly what gender they wanted and as much or as little of it as they wanted.
I do think that at some nebulous time in the future people will more widely understand how harmful some of our socialized gender role stuff is. I’m pretty sure we will never reach perfection on that axis but I think we will improve. My nieces’ children and grandchildren will struggle less with roles and constructs.
