A gender swap...
It took me three freaking days to write for #Homonyms - I am being too lazy these days; too lethargic. Well, I'm posting now so that should count for something. Frankly speaking, gender has never mattered much to me. Never have I ever thought that your physicality could manipulate your heart or mind. So, regardless of what reproductive organs I possess, I'll still be the same ol' funny, sassy, intelligent, badass, and a total witch (or warlock in case I'm a male).
I have played the role of a leader of the house, a protector, a survivor, and a strong person for many who needed and for that I didn't require a sex change operation for that. I played games of all kinds regardless of which gender should play which game. When I was a kid, I used to be a leader of the boys' group (a girl dictating boys). But of course, there are things that I'd like to do if a "gender swap" happens. Just to be clear, I am a woman - a proud human. If for a day I become a "Man", hell will freeze over. There are so many things I would like to do but a day doesn't seem enough but I can certainly try.
The first ever thing I will do when I become a man is... well, I'd wake up and see that I have turned into a man, so of course "nature call" will be the first. So, I'd definitely experience how does pee while standing feels like. Guys, you have such luck; you can relieve yourself anywhere - we women can't loiter around. Such disparity. Although birds have better luck, beggars can't be choosers here.
The second thing I'll do is buy a motorcycle and learn to ride it. Believe me, a female riding a motorcycle here is given astonishing glares - people get baffled when they see a woman behind the wheels. Well, I too look twice seeing a girl riding a scooter - not out of shock but mere admiration. But this issue can be easily remedied if I change location. Perhaps, it can be a possibility. Can I learn to ride a motorcycle and drive off anywhere I please? Can I?
The third thing I will do is smoke in public. I realized I can't smoke in public or whenever I like. I see guys standing around tea stalls having a cup of tea with a lit cigarette in between their fingers and I can't do that. So, this can be another thing that I might do - light a cigarette in a tea stall and just smoke away; not hiding. And now I realize this may just give a rise to my daily intake but, for one day, it'll be worth it.
A few guys think that being a female has so many privileges and advantages - there is no such thing. There are struggles that both genders face, the prejudices we all are subjected to. Men and women are to be of certain ways, dress accordingly, and appear presentable - damn those ways. Men are to be chivalrous and women to be treated like a fragile flower.
No sir, no, I'm a human before anything else.
