No wonder I never get invites to all the right parties. I must be the only person in the Western world lacking the confusion that is making everyone else more human:

Spiegel Online: What is it about the zeitgeist right now which allows gender issues to be discussed so openly?

Christensen: It’s very much to do with our modern lives. As a woman, for example, I live and work very much like a man. I take a lot of things from the man’s world and I have to do that if I want to survive modern life. Conversely, men have to take things from the woman’s world to survive. It's a very beautiful thing that you have to mold your own gender nowadays. But it's a very stressful thing for us. A lot of people are very frustrated. On the outside I am a woman, but how much am I also a man inside? And how much is the man that I meet actually a woman inside? The transsexual is a symbol for the confusion all of us in the Western world feel about this right now.
