<blockquote> I identify as a switch, or a pendulum, and my masculinity and femininity are very related. When I present masculine for a while, my femininity comes back with a vengeance (laughs). I get depressed when I feel stuck in one mode. If I present just masculine for too long, I end up feeling grey, lifeless, like all the colour has been drained from my life.

There are times I have to remind myself that I am entitled to express myself, express femininity, to switch and change.</blockquote>- Jin Haritaworn<ref name=":0" /> | <blockquote> I identify as a switch, or a pendulum, and my masculinity and femininity are very related.
