Identification
“Do you actually still identify as a woman?” Roufaida asked me, after we talked about her podcast, which I had also contributed to. Grrrls was the initial name, but now that she had recently interviewed a non-binary person, the name really couldn’t be used anymore. Shortly before, my Instagram app asked me if I wanted to put my pronouns in my bio. “Go away, leave me alone,” I thought. But why did I think that, anyway?
Only love
I was always a little afraid in my current relationship. Not afraid of Riemer, no, certainly not. More afraid of losing him. And not because I thought he would cheat or anything, but because I was afraid that I would cheat. That I would fall in love with someone else. Something like that.
