My body is a cage (2025)
“Are you a man, or a woman?” In a world built on binaries, this is the question every trans soul must learn to answer—again and again. But imagine a future where bodies wither, yet minds ascend—consciousness can be uploaded to the cloud, and we could inhabit mechanised shells. In such a world, would gender still hold weight? Would it matter if you were man, woman, turtle or elephant?
