Genderless

A body in immense pain can feel genderless, its status as a site of hurt more meaningful in the white-hot and blinding torrent of sensation brought on by a punch or kick or cut than its official designation as a body that is sexed. (Philippa Snow, Which as You Know Means Violence)

... this... that bodies have states of being that are genderless... when the pain is too much... when the pleasure is all consuming... when the world is incomprehensible... there are these places of intensity we occupy in a genderless way...
