My joke about it is that actually we already live in a world where everybody has to choose their gender. And everybody already is choosing their gender. It's just they're not aware of it. They're like, oh, I was born in this gender. Well, sure, you were born in that body, but you're choosing your gender. You're choosing how you present yourself based on the constraints that you have.

What kind of clothes can you afford? What kind of body do you have? How much time do you have to work on your body or negotiate that stuff with other people? These are all constraints that we already have. And so the irony is actually like a dystopian world where everybody has to run around trying to find the things that they can scrounge up to make a gender that feels good to them.

I don't think it has a different dimension, but it definitely has different stakes. I spend part of every year in Colombia, and in a year I have to renew my passport. And the F marker, which I've had for years and which corresponds with how I look and things like that, is going to be taken away from me. And I show that passport. There's a lot of police blocks because the roads are just policed.

So I show that I'll be on an empty road somewhere showing my passport to a couple of cops. I do that frequently.
