PERSONALIA

When I was young, a fortune-teller told me that an old 
woman who wanted to die had accidentally become 
lodged in my body. Slowly, over time, and taking great 
care in following esoteric instructions, including laven- 
der baths and the ritual burial of keys in the backyard, I 
rid myself of her presence. Now I am an old woman who 
wants to die and lodged inside me is a young woman dy- 
ing to live; I work on her.

Is the implication that cis women don’t have this β€œunderlying level of aggressiveness” because actually fuck you, Ronny, all girls are family and we’re all mad at you
