k––

but are people ever grown up?

s––

yeah. but not for real. i think that it is possible to convince yourself that you are a grown up and convince other people. i’ve never met a grown up actually. so, who am i?

k––

i think sharing is what allows people to see pieces of themselves in others.

s––

i recently realized when i feel anything i instantly think that everybody else feels the same. thinking they feel as shitty as me. so, i judge the whole humanity on my feeling and then sometimes i realize “oh so you don’t like that...”

k––

being attached to changing, can that play a role in your conception of your gender.

s––

i’m definitely transgendered. i am in a period of figuring myself out. i used to consider my self gender neutral.

k––

i understood transgender. what do you mean by gender neutral? what makes a person gender neutral?

s––

a person identifies as being that...

k––

what is a woman?

s––

it is basically a social construction. based on shit norms and rules. you know to try and keep the patriarchy up or something. genders are bullshit.

k––

you mention maybe the idea of woman is a way to sustain patriarchal values. doesn't the idea of woman exist in matriarchal societies as well?

s––

i don't know. i guess the matriarchal societies were not relevant to my point. i rather support societies with no gender and gender roles/norms.

k––

are you transgendered or are you a boy?

s––

yeah, that's the thing. neither i'm just a kid.

k––

innocent?

s––

no, but kids aren't innocent, they don't have to be anymore.
