Sylvain Breton: I read this book because I don’t understand the difference about man, woman, trans and I want to enlarge my consciousnes
I read this book because I don’t understand the difference about man, woman, trans and I want to enlarge my consciousness.
That’s beautiful. It’s authentic, vulnerable, and true. And it feels good. It makes me feel good. It opens me up. It broadens my horizons. It breaks down the mental fortress. It helps me understand and love difference—not just “accept” it—that word that’s so limiting, because tolerance is a form of control; I tolerate and accept according to established rules, not according to freedom. I don’t understand the difference, but it’s there and has just as much a place as mine does.
Chris Bergeron - FAKE
Chris is a trans. Among the top marketing people in Canada. Prior to this, was a great journalist and editorial in chef as a man for 25 years.
“I don’t care if my femininity corresponds to a biological reality.
Maybe it doesn’t correspond to anything at all, except to myself. Maybe my brain is that of a woman. Maybe it’s the result of my upbringing—of being raised by my mother and my grandmother. Maybe it’s because the women in my life are my role models, my guiding stars. Or maybe it’s because of a hormonal glitch I was born with. Honestly? It doesn’t matter at all. My brain wired itself this way, somewhere between instinct and survival: a neural bridge was built between femininity—my femininity—and gentleness—my gentleness. For as long as I can remember—or almost—I’ve felt a visceral rejection of the masculine model as it was imposed on me: its postures, its tense silences, its gestures stiffened by the fear of being tender. I grew up rejecting it, not out of defiance, but out of necessity. Linking femininity and gentleness—yes, it’s a cliché. I know that.
But it’s also my refuge, my bodily truth, my life force…”
