that's an understandable reaction.

biological essentialism keeps coming at us, we deny it and it comes right back. i think its important that we learn to understand ourselves in a way that we aren't lessened as people just by understanding our biology. i think that's possible.

what's not possible is to make nature go away simply by issuing demands to it. mother nature doesn't give a shit whether people can find hope or if they lose it to 'fate' (she's a real bitch)

you're right that its unfair, but that doesn't make it unreal.

what matters is what you decide to do about it
