Since we are all coming from different spaces this means that everyone's balance is to come out differently. In my case I believe that I was living the life of a dandy in the beginning of the 19th century in England so my attitudes and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13656208.post-69322277361695412542008-03-21T10:40:00.000-07:002008-03-21T10:40:00.000-07:00Re: What's a GEM?Posted by: "Felicia Conti" felici...Re: What's a GEM?<BR/>Posted by: "Felicia Conti" <BR/>feliciahawthorn<BR/>Thu Mar 20, 2008 10:33 pm (PDT)<BR/>My Dearest Sisters,<BR/><BR/>I was struck by the level of sharing and compassion that each of you<BR/>shared in your thoughtful responses.

But instead of "Gender Enhanced," I think I feel more "Gender Enigmatic," because my gender feelings, no matter how much I consider them or struggle with sorting them out, are more a source of confusion or mystery than anything else.
