Secrets... continued?
I was reading over my post from Tuesday and realized that I didn't really connect it to the topic at hand which is, obviously, being transgender. I think that so often people who are transgender feel like they have to conceal who they really are. Maybe this is because they feel they will disappoint their families or are afraid of the ridicule they may face because let's face it: anything or anybody that is different is going to face some ridicule. They may, and I'm not saying this is true for all transgenders but I'm sure it is for some, live their lives shrouded in secrecy, afraid to be who they want to be. But Deleuze and Guattari argue that secrets should be shared in an innocent and honest way as if to say "This secret... this secret is no big deal." Because isn't that the last thing anyone, including transgenders, want to become? A secret.
