...Feeling like a man...

Have you ever thought of how one can feel like a man when *she* has the body of a woman, albeit a few more male hormones than normal?

And how about *her* expectations? Society requires women to behave in a certain manner. But a woman with a manly attitude means that she speaks a bit funny, she is effectively like a bloke you have a pint with, in the pub on a Saturday night... 

Well, wrong! 

Forget about all you know about these stereotypes. Un-label people, don't call us lesbians, trans, queers... Even calling myself a 'third gender' raises the chances of misconception.

Everyone's unique, the way we express our gender reflects our personality. It also reflects social taboos around the world, but I am not willing to compromise. I am not a social product. I am a selfish 'activist', someone who crosses the border even if she feels like she is going to get shot. If you feel like you want to punish me, please do. Sooner or later times will change, whether you want it or not.
