One Sunday morning,when I was on my way to church I encountered a man who stopped me and said “sorry sesi,can I say one line to you I don’t mean to be rude but I want to say YOU ARE A WOMAN” I smiled at him as I couldn’t reply him. “You are a woman” he said,a very bold statement or should I say compliment?

What is a woman ? A Gender huh… Or what made me a woman on the particular day ? Was it because I wore a tight long skirt,that shaped and hugged my fupa or that I embrace my body? Or was it because I wore heels ? Is it my physical appearance? Or my confidence? Or my grace ? What I find if I didn’t cherish all that would it make me less of a woman ?

Is being a woman determined by your character, your values or your actions ? Your career ? Or family? Your courage ? Experience? Responsibility? Independence? strength? Perseverance?Wisdom? humbleness ?respect ? Integrity? I wonder.

As we’ve seen, gender identity is not a fixed or static concept, but rather a fluid and ever-evolving one. We’ve explored the many ways that people can express their gender, from the way they dress to the pronouns they use. But it’s important to remember that gender is not just about external presentation; it’s also about internal identity. No two people experience gender in the same way, and it’s impossible to make sweeping generalizations about what it means to be a man or a woman.

It’s clear that gender is a complicated and nuanced concept, and one that can be expressed in many different ways. What’s most important is that we respect and value the diversity of gender identities, and allow people to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. By learning more about the different ways that people experience gender, we can become more understanding and accepting of each other. Gender identity is a complex and personal topic, and we all have a role to play in creating a more accepting and respectful world.
