is very interesting - and I love the answers he give! Like:
ZEITmagazin: Mister Pejic, do feel more like a man or a woman? Andrej Pejic: Sometimes I feel more masculine but sometimes more feminine. Mayn think of me as more feminine but I am both. And at the moment I feel very comfortable about that.
ZEITmagazin: Can you switch between man and woman in your head? Pejic: I know what others expect of me. As a woman I am sensual and sexy. As a man I am more – plain.
ZEITmagazin: Do you like men or women? Pejic: Let me put it this way: Love has no boundaries.
How do you define a woman? Isn't that just the problem? That we look for definition, attach attributes to what it is to be a man or a woman? Attributes that are so anchored in society that being non conforming with those attributes that go with your gender is looked at from odd to maybe even a threat.
I live a "normal" male life conforming with the expected attributes and I break out from time to time desperately going for conforming with the female attributes (and I am lucky that I can get away with it at first and even second glance).
Wouldn't life be great if I could just get up in the morning decide "who do I want to be today?" and that would be acceptable?
Andrej Pejic, quite androgynous - this interview
