    A group counselor asked for introductions and reasons:


    <div>


    “My name’s Steven. After the fire, I feel isolated.”


    <div>


    “My name’s Mary. I was born blind. I want to see the world.”


    <div>


    “My name’s Julia. I want to be in charge of my gender.”


    <div>


    “I’ll introduce Matthew,” said the counselor. “He lost his ability to speak due to throat cancer.”


    <div>


    “My name’s Sarah. This is ridiculous. I’m 87 years old. Obviously, I want to live forever.”


    <div>


    “I understand your frustration, Sarah. We require these group sessions because you’ll no longer respirate, eat, drink, or reproduce. Once you’re transformed, you can never return.”
