“When I was a child, I did not know that it mattered whether you loved a man or a woman - I thought you could love whoever you wanted, because love was supposed to be blind. I have always loved men, I can't help it, it is the way I am, the way I feel, and the worst is knowing that Dr Hanson will never love me back, no matter what I do - if I were a woman, I would at least be able to hope that some day I might win his heart but for me that option just does not exist.'' - from ''The Girl Who Was a Gentleman”
