My name is Nando and I am a lesbian
A self-published author describes his female psyche and his bodily frustration in a text signed as Nando el Hispano. Identity versus the physical shell, up for debate.
The text signed by Nando el Hispano raises a dissociation between a psyche he describes as female and a body he perceives as a foreign shell. There is no medical or legal answer in the message, only an existential question about how to emancipate consciousness from the flesh.
## An author who signs as Nando el Hispano
The circulating text is signed by **Nando el Hispano**, who introduces himself as the author of the work **«El Niño Lunar: la imposición de nacer»**. In it he describes his experience as that of someone who possesses a female mind, but not that of a submissive stereotype, rather a psyche he defines as predatory and affectionate at the same time.
The scene he recounts takes place in the parking lot of a shopping center, where he defiantly parks his vehicle, which he calls **Matilde**. He waits for people to leave the movie theater and, with music blasting, blows kisses and gestures at passersby. He wonders whether he does it to laugh at their submission, and admits that maybe he does.
## The paradox of the physical shell
The author maintains that, confined within the shell of **Nando**, the rest of the people are unable to take his presence seriously. That is the material paradox he describes: his psyche fails to prey because the body containing it does not communicate what he feels.
There is no political claim or concrete demand in the text. What there is, is an appeal to the gloom of the wasteland, a question about how to undo the knot and emancipate consciousness from the physical body. The author defines himself as the most intelligent child existing on this blue planet.
## Identity and self-perception
The message mentions no diagnoses or treatments. It speaks of mind, psyche, consciousness and flesh. The question it poses has no closed answer within the text itself: it is an existential crossroads that he himself raises without resolving.
Any reader who identifies with that feeling of mismatch between what they feel and what they show may find an echo here. But it is worth remembering that identity and body perception are matters that, if they cause distress, should be addressed with a mental health professional.
