    Becoming the sun

    Ever since I started to learn more about gender and gender expression, I have become fascinated with the concept of being gender neutral.

It happened because of Palace of Illusions and continued because of Devdutt Pattanaik’s Jaya and Sita. There was also the horrible first…
