understood. Perhaps I didn't word it in the best way.

Understanding is perhaps not the best term. I do think it is important to try to understand those who are different than you are.

Perhaps embrace and agree with? Embrace and think is awesome? Embrace and be supportive of in every way?

Geez, why on earth would a woman in our society want to be a man?

I'm willing to stand up for what you originally said. I don't think it is even all that important to try and understand the ways that others are different so long as you don't do anything to interfere with those differences.

I'm not going to try and understand why some people like off-road unicycling or wallpaper their dorm rooms with Playboy centerfolds. But I'm also not going to attempt to do anything to interfere with them.

I'll admit that most of the time when people try to explain themselves my honest (even if unexpressed) response is that of Tommy Lee Jones standing in a tunnel: "I don't care."
