Part of what makes me who I am. But only part. Not even the most important part, if any part can be said to be the most important.

I want to identify myself by being, and I know this sounds shocking and radical, myself. Not the green hair, not the parlor tricks with spoons, not the cooking or the philosophy or geophysics or even my relationship to Alex.

Yes, I can do things most people can't. I can do lots of things that you can't. Should I consider you 'just' a human because you don't have the same mutatation as I do? Should I think you're 'just' a child because I'm a few years older? Should I think I'm 'just' adopted because my mother didn't carry me for nine months?

We are not better. We have different abilities but that doesn't make us better. If we were just our mutations, we would not be anything to shout about. We are human. Trying to define us elsewise is bigotry.
