When born, we are rather simple, open to whatever is around us. We do not know yet of the many identifyers and rules that come attached to ouer bodies.Gender, race, beatystandarts etc., but soon we learn that boys are supposed to do such or that as a black kid youshould do things that way, most people easyly accept those rules,they are comfortble, give you a sense of belonging without much hassle. Taboos are attached to the body or to parts of it. And so we are controlled and owned. There are people telling you what is goodlooking, what is healthy, what is goood for you, Rarely are those unspoken things questioned. Have you ever tried to break them? Or what if you feel more at home in a group which your body does not bolong to? Your body screams "male" at everybody you meet, but you see yourself more as a women,all people will put you into the male pigeonhole, they will mock you, the body is seen as reality, not your identity, not your feelings or your loyality. If you are a woman with big breasts, you are seen as motherly, and so it goes on and on.......... Since there is not much hope to change this in ouer lifetime, the only hope for some is to change there bodies, but here you need somebodies help, a doctor, who again will judge you according to society and may likely refuse your wish, because its not common. Because they do not know better. Because they are too part of this world we made, where everything has to be in its place. Because they are afraid what would happen if people are not willing to be classified by theyr bodies. The body is a social object, it is used to weaken individual freedom- to modify it , means to take back ouer bodies, ouer freedom, freedom to mutate, to evolve, to change and shapeshift, to be dynamic-not static, to show that every human can contain all facets of experience .To freely express the force that animates the material shell.
