It always depends on your luck; from the moment you\u2019re born. It\u2019s up to your family and the community you were born in to decide how you will be going to be living for what might as well be your whole childhood and Youth. After that It\u2019s up to you to decide\u2026 unless you were born female in the MENA region, then it\u2019s the law roulette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either you\u2019re in a country where the law is on your side, where the law supports your entity as an independent human being and gives you the right of choice. Or in the most cases you\u2019re in a country that considers every woman a minor that needs a male guardian making decisions and choices for her, where the law is literally against you in every aspect, a law that allows your murder in the name of honor and a law that paints you as guilty no matter what you do\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say you won the law roulette, congratulations! well there is way more roulettes to win: outdated traditions, norms, customs, religious concepts\u2026 here and maybe for the first in your life you will have the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice to battle the existence of these roulettes and start fighting for your right to choose, for the right to not be discriminated against and for the basic right to be treated equally to men, to be treated as a human being. Maybe you will start identifying as a feminist and learn about the long history of women fighting for their rights even in the \u201cprogressed west\u201d. People will call you crazy and delusional, you might get tired of fighting and your life might be threatened every minute but that doesn\u2019t matter because you want the change you want a life for yourself and for other non-cis males, a life in which you\u2019re free\u2026 Because you know even if you don\u2019t choose to fight you won\u2019t live in peace in a society that sees your existence as a non-male as a mistake and sees you as an easy inevitable target for every violation that could be done to a human being\u2026 because after all you don\u2019t\u00a0have\u00a0a\u00a0choice\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
