Just A Boy

Today was a day of a revelation for me. It's been about 5 or 6 pracs for BMS at uni, and I've sat around the same people for those weeks. There was this massively international guy who I thought was very strange, and sat across from our bench. When my lab partner asked him something, he responded with this high pitched voice that made him even stranger to me, a very feminine international boy = stay far far away.

Today in our prac class, I can't remember what happened for it to trigger in my mind, but I looked at his face...and realised...he was actually... an older female international student. What the fuck Anna. What the fuck. But then I questioned myself once I looked at him/her a bit more closely. They dressed not very female-like and the hair cut was very short and shaggy. I was confused for a good hour in my mind, thinking that if I just glance at him/her without a labcoat on, see if they had some boobage going on...

I had a sudden idea of asking what their name was to my lab partner, to see if it was a girl or guy's name. The name was Yin Man. Er....

I spent most that prac arguing with myself. Then finally, I gave up and asked my other lab partner embarrassedly, and very very quietly,

'That person in the green jacket...are they male or female?'

She was silent for a moment giving me the strangest look. I knew I deserved it.

*drum roll* 'Female... she doesn't look like man...'

WELL, YES SHE DOES. THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN THINKING SHE WAS A CREEPY INTERNATIONAL BOY FOR THE PAST MONTH.

Oh god, I feel terrible.
