The male hare hops and skips, the female hare has misty eyes. But when they run side by side, who can tell which is which?
My father's name appeared on the conscription list. He was old and sick. My brother was a child. So I bought a horse at the east market, a saddle at the west market, a bridle at the south market, and a whip at the north market. I dressed as a man and rode to war in my father's place. Twelve years I served. I fought alongside men who never knew. The Khan offered me a minister's post. I asked only for a fast horse to ride home. When my comrades visited and saw me in women's clothes, they were shocked. I had marched, fought, and bled beside them for twelve years. Tip: Competence has no gender. When the arrow flies, it does not ask who loosed it. Train harder than anyone in the room and your secret, whatever it is, becomes irrelevant.
