Wunderkammer 3

This reminded me of the character Kid in the play Wunderkammer He was lost because he didn't know if he was a boy or girl. He didn't know if he was even human. But what happens when you were born a certain gender, but you want to be the opposite?

This is a touchy subject. My little cousins Justin and Jason are a set of twins. They are 27 years now but years ago, this is what happened.

When they were around 7 years old My Mom told me that their mother called her and said that Justin wrote a letter to Santa wishing  for him be a girl. Can you imagine knowing at 7 years old that you don't want to be in the body that God made you to be? That can cause depression or even worse, suicidal thoughts.

Now at 27 years old I wonder how he feels or even views the opposite gender, or if he ever told his brother. How would his twin view him if he ever told the truth. All of these things crossed my mind as my fingers typed this blog. I just pray that he has a piece of mind because living life can be very difficult when you are not comfortable in your own skin.

  1. I agree with you since after the keeper died the Kid did not know what he really was since every time the animals asked him he did not say anything. What you shared about your cousin is something that happens today since many do not feel comfortable with their gender and sometimes they are criticized and discriminated against.
