So I was on the subway heading home on my spare today, when the train stopped at Bay station and a person got on. Often I just mind my own business when I'm alone and stare at the floor or listen to music- but this person I found hard to ignore.
First of all, I could not for the life of me decide what zir gender was- and I don't mean that in an offensive way. I looked for all the different signs but zie was just too androgynous.
Zie was wearing: Ripped and faded light blue jeans, black Birkenstocks (sp.?), a loose red t-shirt with what looked like a small faded smiley face on the top left corner drawn with permenant marker, a couple of cuff-style bracelets, a silver chain necklace with a ring attached to the end and black aviator sunglasses. Zir hair was slightly higher than shoulder length, dark brown and wavy. Zie had a soft face yet with strong cheek bones and a square-ish jaw, which meant that zie was either a slightly feminine male or a slightly masculine female. Zie had a cute little mole beside zir nose on the right side of zir face.
Zie looked to be around maybe early-twenties and supposedly goes to U of T because of the textbooks zie was carrying and canvas bag with the university's logo.
Zir iPod was one of the new nanos and it was green.
This is all the data I collected during the next 3 stops. I found it interesting to try to detect zir gender, not that it was particularly any of my business, but still. It kept me busy and I thought I'd record my findings here, perhaps to read over later.
