A note on identity.
No, A note on my identity.
No, A note on identity as experienced by me.
Wait, no...
A note on how experience is Here.

Gender, being a cove in the sea of identity, it can be scooped up in a cup, wrapped in a word, this one or that one, when it suits, when an occasion arises.

But tell me first in which cup the whole ocean sits, and then demand of me my words.
It's already so much that you expect my name, what else do you need from me, and how will it remain mine in your mouth.
