Maybe work helps to distract me, as I don't feel quite as low today. Or maybe just differently sad. Work has annoyed me, but it's different to despairing about not having the life I want and giving up on everything. So that makes a pleasant change.
It was the final of a TV quiz show today and one of the team captains is non-binary. In earlier rounds of the series they've had a female look. with make-up and earrings but ambiguous clothing. For the final, they really went to town though, with a nice dress. It was great to see some representation on mainstream TV and for it not to be a thing, they just were wearing a dress and that was fine.
Surprisingly, my wife didn't comment. I'm sure she thought it was odd but I think maybe she was more accepting of someone being obviously male but dressing, rather than someone who is trying to be female, which she doesn't accept. I suppose I could have asked her but that seems like a reasonable guess.
Whatever, it was nice to see someone being openly gender queer and it had nothing to do with those terrible drag shows.
