'Genderqueer' and 'nonbinary' are contemporary terms for people who don't fit neatly into male or female categories. But acknowledging that not everyone fits neatly into those two groups has a much longer history than you might suspect.
By the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' archaeologist Indiana Jones had learned enough to know that he should close his eyes when facing the wrath of God.
ASK THE DOCTORS
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am in a new relationship after being single for a long time. I'm struggling to navigate the line between privacy and invasion of personal space. Recently, my partner unpacked my suitcase after a trip without my permission. I thanked them, but I was not happy at all. I don't want anyone going through my things. On another occasion, they took a photo of me while I wasn't fully clothed without my knowledge. While I'm sure this is nothing unusual for many couples, I felt slightly violated. Could my discomfort stem from being single for so long and not being used to sharing my personal space, or is my partner being too invasive? — Uncomfortable DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: Being in an intimate relationship after a long period of being alone can be wonderful and disconcerting at times. To find happiness, you must become an excellent communicator. When you were alone, that wasn't necessary, as you only had yourself with whom to share your opinions, desires and limitations.
Dear Doctors: I turned 46 years old last winter, and all of a sudden I started getting skin tags. I worried it might be a sign of skin cancer, but my sister insists they're harmless. Is that true? There are a few on my neck that keep getting irritated by my clothes and jewelry. Is there any way to get rid of them?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I feel as if people contact me only because they want something and not because they want to check on me. I am a person who is well-connected and in the know about opportunities that are available. I am going into my senior year of college right now, and everyone around me is trying to develop their careers. People have seen how I was able to secure an internship before I even started my junior year, which led to a full-time offer. This has caused a large influx of people asking me how I did it and if I can help them get connected. I want to help others succeed, but it's hard when they just want me to do things for them — they never actually want to speak to me about much beyond career development. How do I create a relationship where people aren't just using me while still managing to help people out? — Stop Using Me DEAR STOP USING ME: Why not flip the script here? Get creative and set up a consulting company. Offer to help people strategize their next moves for finding internships and otherwise setting themselves up for the future — for a fee. Be clear about what you can offer; namely, you cannot guarantee anything, but you will share ideas and make recommendations. Sometimes just talking to someone can spark an idea in a person, as you have seen. Offer to be that person. That way, you will not be used by others for your knowledge; you will be compensated. This will weed out plenty of people who were freeloaders. It can also create space for you to see who you want to get to know better as a friend and who is genuinely interested in you for you rather than for your connections.
