I was tired of being a woman, tired of the spoons and the pots, tired of my mouth and my breasts tired of the cosmetics and the silks† I was tired of the gender of things.

Un homme qui lit, ou qui pense, ou qui calcule, appartient a'   l'espe'  ce et non au sexe; dans ses meilleurs moments, il e¤  chappe me"  me a'   l'humain. A person who reads or thinks or calculates, belongs to a kind and not to a gender; in his or her best moments, he or she escapes being human.
