Quotes
"There are seven billion people on the planet, yet we are told there are only two sexes, two genders and one sexuality permissible. Imagine how boring that would be if it were true. It is such an absurd expectation that everyone be the same. When I was young, I could feel my process of self actualisation constrained by the limited social construct of the gender binary. I was asked if I was a boy almost everyday until well into my late teens. It used to offend me, but then I thought, why not? I realised that society couldn't see me in my fullness, but just knowing it was there created an entire new world for me to explore. I have always been less concerned with the masculine and feminine and more about the whole."
