A brief story of "her Childhood"

Male – Female

      Man – Woman

            Sir - Lady

                  Boy – Girl

And how if someone is both of male and female? A really big question need to be answer..

What society know, what they accept, what they admit is there are only two type of sex, gender i.e. male-female, man-woman……

Then the reality is not as simply as it is.. some people are born to be a Man, yet when they are growing up, they find their selves not comfortable to be a man, because deep down in their heart they believe, they know that they should be a woman. Their attitude, their feeling, their point of view are as the same as woman, not a man. And when this happens, some of them are prefer to be a woman, dress like a woman, behave like a woman, and just-be-a-woman.

So here, I just want to write, try to retell a little bit a story I listened to in my creative writing class. I would not retell all of the story because it will be a really really long long long story. I will tell you first, her name is Olivie Sonya Aresta. Sounds a nice name! just call her Mbak Sonya. It’s a little bit difficult to tell where she comes from since she was born in Klaten, lived in Klaten for few years, then moved to Cilacap, and then moved again to Jogja, and there she is now.

Then, I will bring you back to see her past stories, the story of her childhood..

Childhood???

when she is asked, how her childhood was, she enthusiastically says “H-A-P-P-Y”. Her childhood was happy as it should be. Children, yeaah they are still innocent, not to think of problem, difficult life. Children are always happy, full of laugh, no pain, and sometimes they are naughty because of their curiosity. So does mbak sonya. When she was a child, she was a happy boy. She is happy to play game, to gather with her friends, and still child nature, she is also naughty. Then what makes her different? Most of boy will play with boy, such as playing football, fishing, or playing other boy’s game. But she is not. She doesn’t play with boy, she prefer to play game with girls. Why? The answer is simple because boy is more naughty than girl. Boy likes to bully their friends. And yap, when they play game, and one of their friend loses, they will bully him, or mock him. Then it make lil Sonya annoyed and not comfortable to play with naughty-boys. When she play games with girls, she feel comfortable because she thinks that the girls always take care of her. and you know,, most of girl’s game are not as rude as boy’s. Their games are in safe zone, such as pretending to be doctor, playing doll, cooking. That means there will no one of them who will bully her. Because of that, she prefers to play with girls, and do what girls do. She also has Barbie collection, while most of boys prefer to have car collection rather than Barbie. But she had it nearly complete. Her grandfather used to buy Barbie for her. that’s her childhood, a really happy childhood.
