Quote #10

We're all made up of many parts, other halves. Not just me. (4.3.2)

Cal is talking about how everyone lies somewhere on a spectrum between masculine and feminine. You might be a cowboy-hat wearing dude who likes wearing your grandmother's shoes every once in a while, or a ballerina who really enjoys wielding a sledgehammer. Cal believes that you should act however you want, without any regard to what society thinks people of your gender should do.
