man woman
Sometimes I catch myself looking at a guy and thinking, 'That's a man,' or I'll look at a girl and think, 'That's a woman.'

This may seem like a totally normal process of evaluation and recognition that everybody naturally goes through, but I wonder if anybody else feels the same muted awe that I sometimes get. The difference and similarity between the sexes is a wonder by itself, like a little daily miracle that everybody has gotten accustomed to.

Perhaps I'm finally rubbing off the remains of my androgynous outlook on life. This act of 'shedding' also takes away a part of the mystery I've always associated with adults (not saying I've been clueless, or even innocent at this point but hey you get what i mean). It's like being able to see through the smoke and mirrors, and I'm stuck at the phase where you wow over the complexity of something so simple. It feels like a spark of brilliance. Man, woman, both are intriguing creatures in their own right.

But of course, the moment passes and I return to the crowd. Now, it's the features of a person that catch my eye. Mole, pianist fingers, crooked nose, glitter dress, blonde hair, nose ring, flat chest, tight abs; those kinds of things. It's not too bad, but it doesn't give off the same weird atmosphere it did when a man is a man and a woman is a woman. I don't know if I'm making much sense here, but I am trying to explain it the best I could. Which isn't much because I don't really understand it myself.

Don't get me started on transvestites.
