I have a single disagreement. Understanding is highly overrated. Acceptance beats it eight days a week. I do not understand transgenderism, but I accept that it is real. I do not understand most of what I accept. The highest hurdle is the one where you are muted, shut out, because you refuse to accept the power's definition of terms as a condition of being allowed to speak.

I fully support affinity groups based on experience sets, on rational goals being pursued, on common interests in games, art forms, sports and many other bases. I often advise small companies on selecting members of Boards of Advisors and of Directors. I tell the companies that they can have whomever they wish so long as the members are diverse. One man responded that he had a black person on his board of advisors. I shook my head. "They can all be purple Martian females so long as they bring different experience sets. Everyone on the Board, male, female, animal, vegetable or mineral, has a background in your industry. How can new ideas be offered up by clones?"
