I think tomorrow, I will be a girl.

Subject: I think tomorrow I'll be a girl.

Reading of India and its overwhelming poverty, of the many tiers of humanity within the multi layer societal sets of division and subdivision one can be forgiven for wondering at the complexity of modern society.  Glancing across the whole panoramic view of society within the sub continent one would not recognised the influence of caste other than by a division of labour, jobs that certain castes would never do. The significance of class and birth right are more on display in India than in an English Public School and whilst we may struggle to adequately answer the immorality of our education system the Indian has no such qualms. A Society much older than ours and much more entrenched, have subjected any reasoning on these matters to the trashcan. No one questions the status quo, the world is as it is.
It reminds me of my time in South Africa when as a first time visitor to Cape Town in in 1962 the sights and sounds of this beautiful city didn't include Gugelethu, Nyanga or Langa or the feared District 6 on the lower slopes of Table Mountain.

To white people these places didn't exist, or if they did it was a matter of administrative convenience not any sort of soul searching as to life there. People become opaque outside our own caste we have enough to worry about trying to keep afloat amongst our own kind. 

This concept of "our own kind" is an anathema to many.  Today brought up on a diet of rights and universality they push the envelope out further and further to include, as of yesterday any self sex identifying individual. Today I can proclaim I am a man, tomorrow a woman with all the ramifications for the safe havens for women in changing rooms and toilets. The claims of molestation and lewdity have risen enormously since we began to address the rights of the 'cross dresser' but of course, since we now seem to assume that sexual identity is in the mind and not in the genitalia (even God would be confused) and because we must protect everyone's human rights, even the most 'far out' within our society then victims must just suck it up.
