Ich gendere, also bin ich. – Und wenn ich nicht gegendert werden kann, was dann?
Mir geht es schlecht mit dem Geschlecht. Dem, das in der Sprache fehlt. Das nicht eines ist, sondern viele. Und welches in der Genderdebatte gern vergessen wird.

We worship perfection because we can't have it; if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.
We secretly hate paradise. Our yearnings are like those of the poor wretch who hopes for the countryside in heaven. Indeed it's not abstract ecstasies or marvels of the absolute tht can enchant a feeling soul; it's homesteads and hillsides, green islands in blue seas, wooded paths and restful hours spent on ancestral farms, even if we've never had these things. If there's no land in heaven, then better there were no heaven. Better that everything be nothing and that the plotless novel come to an end.
To achieve perfection would require a coldness foreign to man, and he would lose the human heart that makes him love perfection.
In awe we worship the impulse to perfection of great artists. We love their approximation to perfection, but we love it because it is only an approximation.
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
