â€œFor starters, honey, I donâ€™t believe in Hellâ€“thatâ€™s just some old manâ€™s way of telling me reasons why I canâ€™t be me. Like â€œbiology is destinyâ€ means I have to be a boy.â€, â€“ â€œLady Marmaladeâ€™s Special Place in Hellâ€ by David Sklar,There have always been stories of those willing to blur or transcend the traditional gender roles. Some do it out of necessity, others are merely embracing their true selves. Sometimes itâ€™s for fun, other times survival.
