I wonder—am I what they call a non-binary person? I fully understand that biologically I have a woman’s body, the reproductive features of a woman. But when it comes to a sense of self-identification, I simply consider myself a person—in my environment, no “traditionally feminine” traits were ever imposed on me; I chose what felt right within my means. I’m curious about what it feels like to truly perceive oneself as a woman or a man or even a battle helicopter. It seems like I am just a human being; I breathe and live in the world, I try to make my life better, I suffer, I engage in tasks, I have interests. I am the sum of my essence. I don’t know what specifically should make me a woman in terms of mentality. Perhaps what defines me as a woman in terms of character comes from brain structure and hormonal fluctuations, but even that doesn’t relate to any particular beliefs.
