...knew that the bull dies. However, I told myself, being born a bull in today’s world is bad news regardless. In the United States, many bulls are raised as beef cattle.

You had to wear a dress or skirt that was mid-calf, six inches below the knee at least. And you had to wear long sleeves and something with a high neck. You just had to have everything covered. And then we weren't allowed to cut our hair and there were particular hairstyles...
