    The document is a first person reflection on identity. It describes how the speaker has overcome despair, followed their curiosity despite disapproval from others, and revealed the flaws in systems of superiority. When told they were just a small part of someone else's plans, the speaker dismissed this as nonsense. A Cheshire Cat once called them mad but they see everyone as equally emotional. The speaker will determine their own appearance and not listen to others' opinions. They are sometimes disappointed in fictional portrayals but their existence does not depend on others. Through their actions, the speaker introduces themselves as a woman.

    A caterpillar once asked me, who I was.

    And in return I said: Who am I?


    I am the one who managed not to drown in my own pool of tears even though I was
    consumed by own despair and I am the one who followed her curiosity into a realm of
    impossibilities, who ate the rocks thrown at her by those who disapproved of: who I was,
    and what I was doing; and I am the one who when ordered to execution revealed the
    mechanisms of superiority to be as flimsy and shakable as a worn deck of playing cards
    attempting to portray some shoddy form of military defense...
    I once oined a game of chess and came out of it as a !ueen if that doesn"t impress you
    then when told I was a cog in the machine of the dream of some man, I dismissed such
    a ludicrous, belittling placement of my significance as nothing more than nonsense#
    A $heshire cat once told me I was mad, but everyone else is ust as emotional,
    irrational, and complicated as I am so that floating grin still haunts me to this day as the
    first clear notification that generalities of my gender do not define me.
    I could tell you that the %ad &atter is fine but I will also tell you that I will determine when
    and how and if my hair needs cutting and his opinions will forever, remain in that
    perpetual tea time.
    I am someone who sometimes is sorry 'isney didn"t give me a romance, but the
    continuation of my existence will never depend on a (rince $harming because instead, I
    defeated the )abberwock * with aws that bite and claws that tear...
    I am not !uite sure who I am# +ut my actions typically precede me.
    ,o it shouldn"t surprise you to find
    that I
    am a woman.
