all that gendered gender.

was studying, ok, 'studying' for gender yesterday and i stumbled upon these videos on youtube about young transgendered children.

you can link the other parts from the video links at the side.

there was one kid who questioned about why he was put into the wrong body and prayed hard every night that he would wake up the next morning in the right body.

i just find it sad that they cant be who they are without facing sanctions of any sort. people are so closed minded, forcing the norms of the dominant beliefs unto others. what's wrong with being who you really want to be, being who you really are?

anyway i recall when i said that if the character hua zei lei/ hanazawa rui/ yoon ji hoo from hana yori dango really existed i'd probably fall head over heels for him.
thing is, SO UNREALISTIC! but in any case if there ever is such a guy..
ok, it's still a far cry from reality.

2 papers down, 4 more to go.
and yes i should well be studying right now!
