A memory

[scalyshoujo]

When I was a child, I had this notion inside me that all people were really little girls deep inside. That we were all playing a little game with each other, a game of pretend. Because while being a little girl was the best thing in the world, it took a lot of energy. So we pretended there such things as "boys" and "adults" and all sort of strange, even scary things, but we'd all return to our skirts and tea parties sooner or later.

This isn't something I hold as objective truth, mainly because I'm afraid of being bigoted towards transmen. But it's something I come back to every now and then when I can't make heads or tails of the world. Because it's one of the first things I remember feeling upon being born into this world.
