Reflections: Can we be Born in the Wrong Body Really?

by
"A surreal, symbolic representation of a person gazing into a mirror, but the reflection doesn’t match — suggesting internal conflict, dissociation, or a fractured sense of identity. The figure may appear androgynous or blurred in form, with elements like shifting shadows, layered faces, or a body made of mismatched parts. The setting is minimal or dreamlike — evoking themes of being 'born in the wrong body,' self-perception, and transformation."

We were born into the physical awareness of ‘I’ with only this body.

I’m of the opinion then, that it’s impossible for us ever to find ourselves living in the “wrong” body. To suggest or enable this amongst us is pure madness. A confusion born of having nothing more worthwhile to concern oneself with. An obsession with self that is all consuming. A normalisation of distortion only possible in a synthetic world so far detached from our animal nature as part of a coherent, natural whole.
