![]() ![]() The story unfolds through Darius’ affectingly honest and vulnerable voice. There’s his intimidating grandfather, the unexpected surprise of his very loving grandmother, assorted aunts, uncles, and cousins - and the boy next door who just might become Darius’ first real friend and ally. His anxiety about the trip slowly increases, and he’s understandably apprehensive about meeting his extended family. Plus, he doesn’t fit in at home, so how can he possibly feel a sense of belonging in Iran? He can spit out some lines in Klingon, but he knows zero Faris, unlike his little sister. Now his parents have announced that the family will soon travel to Iran to visit his dying grandfather.ĭarius knows way more about The Hobbit and Star Trek: The Next Generation than he does about his Persian heritage. He’s nerdy, overweight, really (really) into tea, lonely, and depressed. But our Darius feels anything but mighty. Our hero Darius may be named for Darius I, the third Persian King of Kings. ![]() Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine5/10/2023 ![]() With sparkling wit and humour, Cordelia Fine attacksthis ‘neurosexism’, revealing the mind’s remarkableplasticity, the substantial influence of culture on identity,and the malleability of what we consider to be’hardwired’ difference.

And when I was fourteen and fighting back the daily urge to grab the razor my mom first used to shave my unwomanly mustache to cut my throat, this poem provided me with a sense of comfort and community. ![]() Told that men with straight hair don’t have them braided, that’s a sin, men don’t have this long hair, men shouldn’t do this to their hair, a girl wouldn’t do this. All I was reminded of was long, girly locks that needed to be braided. ![]() When I was nine, I threatened my sister that I would chop off my hair in retaliation for something, hoping to make everyone stop their overly feminine stereotypes from imprinting on me. ![]() When I was seven, I burned two of my dresses in hopes my mother would stop buying them for me, or that she would give the rest to my cousins, or any other solution that would get the scratching, stupidly frilly fabric away from me.
