What am I?
I am a Woman
What am I?
I am a Heterosexual woman
What am I?
A Heterosexual, middle class woman
What am I?
A Heterosexual, middle-class, Hindu woman
What am I?
A Heterosexual, middle-class, Hindu, upper caste woman
What am I?
A Heterosexual, middle-class, Hindu, upper caste, fair skinned, woman
What am I?
I am a woman. A body. Every Body.

What am I?
I am a person
What am I?
I am a sad person
What am I?
I am a sad, happy person
What am I?
I am a sad, happy, nervous person
What am I?
I am a sad, happy, nervous, confused person
What am I?
I am a sad, happy, nervous, confused, excited person
What am I?
I am a person. A Body. Some Body

Who am I?
I am. No Body.
