“As far back as I can remember, I’d always known that Real Men don’t really have asses. They walk all seized up, or run the risk of being accused of being a wimp or a faggot. It made my back hurt and it made my soul hurt, just so I could try to be a Real Man.”

“I have been rejected by existing specialties, and I have refused to enter such specialties. Stuck between those two spaces, I have continued to engage in my daily work and activities.
