| 'Adolescence as a moment of transformation has also become the symbol of a mysterious sexual identity. If we are willing to consider male, female and homosexual as three categories, three mentally diferentiated sexes, then adolescence may be seen as the fourth of these mental states. An utterly particular mental and sexual state, because it is limited to a precise time span, inside an overwhelming metamorphosis that will eventually thrust the individual into one of the three oficial sexes, or perhaps into all three, thus preserving an eternally adolescent, oppositional, irreverent and innovative character' F. Bonami's and R. Simons book 'The Fourth Sex' |
