But the truth is that whole communities of people have
been treated horribly simply because there aren't enough of
them to make a stand. Everywhere you look, minorities
have fought for equality and the fight continues. What

just the raw will to survive by marginalizing a perceived

rid of it is part of our job here on earth.

Sexual preference is one of the biggest examples of this.
The world is full of heterosexuals — traditionally, perhaps
85%-90% of all people are heterosexual, or at least say they

simply no real reason to feel this way but so sad as it has
caused so much pain, suffering, and loss of human dignity.

If you study human physiology, you will see that the whole
process regarding becoming totally male or totally female
is not so clear-cut and dyed-in-the-wool as you might have
