Katrin A. Beinroth '00

BUT, wky skould I give in? Wky skould. I ask your forgiveness? To do tkis is to die and kve a waking kell. Wky skould I kend my will to please you? Is it a fault to ke a different skade of krown? to kave two x-ckromosomes instead of xy?

YOU say it is. YOU say tkis until you almost enslave my mind and I almost kekeve you BUT I DO NOT, CANNOT BELIEVE.

I RAGE RAGE against a world tkat denies my identity RAGE against a world tkat denies me my rigkts RAGE against a society tkat lakels me, even from the womk a society wkick says I am destined to fail, tkat I am inferior, tkat all I am good for is kearing ckildren, and tkat my mind is a void tkat cannot ke filled.

My rage does NOTHING. I cannot stop you nor can 2,3, nor 100 people kut EVERY ONE weakens you, skakes tke foundation of your misguided kekefs until, I pray, tke day will come wken YOU will advocate MY rigkts kelp figkt MY war and you ska 11 look at ME. Not a kispanic, not a woman, kut finally ME kuman keing, fellow native of tkis eartk.
