Quote

The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.

I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
