If you look at me from the left, I resemble a Teutonic knight, with the kind of pointy protuberance that was in vogue in Prussia in the 1800s. Look at me from the right and look like someone who broke their nose in a surfing accident at Cape St Francis in grade 10, which in fact I am. I am not a Teutonic knight, as my ex-girlfriend will confirm.
However, in doing so, I have crafted a body that suits my needs. I am comfortable in my skin, my tattoos are acceptable to the people I hang around with, and I can still do a decent park run, as long as it’s flat.As I beheld the recent occupation of the United States Capitol building by a band of white supremacists protesting outgoing US President Donald Trump’s loss of their election, I couldn’t help thinking that there are parallels between bodies and countries.

This campaign for equality is often derailed, misinformed, misrepresented and sabotaged. But the quest continues.
