No pronouns.

Do not refer to me ever.

Erase your mind.

Walk away.

Close your eyes.

Because at the end of the day, it's not a hard request.

And I think that the people who are so hell-bent on...

like disobeying it, are just looking to offend you, you know?

I think also just, like, the world is very gendered, you know?

Yeah.

Like, the Western world is, like, I don't know, they love gender here.

It's, like, here in Italy, it's, like, their favorite thing.

But, like, I think because of that and because, like, of how, like, overexposed we are to, like, the norms associated with, like, gender and, like, how we associate gender with, like, sex and just, like, familial existence and, like, yada, yada, yada.

I could go on and on about, like, the American dream and all that BS.

Yeah.

But, like, I think, like, because of that, like, I, like, understand that even for people who are, like, very loving and caring and, like, want to be, like, respectful, that, like, no one's going to mess up.

Not only are people going to mess up, like, you are trained to mess up.

Like, they don't want, like, people to defy these boundaries that they've set up for them.

They want to be able to categorize people.

Absolutely.
