About Li Sam’s Articles
With
these articles I reveal a more serious side of myself than in my stories; they point out things that I feel are wrong as well
as things that I feel are right in society. Sometimes people do the wrong things out of ignorance, and I hope my articles
can serve by shedding light into the dark corners so that people will accordingly try to correct their mistakes. My intention
is not to offend people in any way; instead I try to guide, assist, and give people some understanding in subjects that concern
me.
I hope that my articles don’t scare you off and that instead you are interested enough to forward them
to others and make use of them. I don’t expect all people to agree with me in all I say—I would be most surprised
if that happened. Instead I welcome a debate, and if it leads to a better society for people I would be most happy. Please
feel free to make use of my articles and spread the word.
Gender Identity
Originally
written by Li Sam; 22nd September 2006.
This is an open article that can be used freely within the restrictions listed at the top of the above page.
A
significant issue of our times is gender identity (or at least it should be). The issue of transsexualism is made public in
the tabloids, and we both enjoy it and are appalled by it—we enjoy the sensationalism, and at the same time we don’t
want to know anything specific about it. Do we dare open that box labelled “transsexualism” and look
at what’s inside—will we get scared? What if we ourselves turn out to be in question?
