The apple trees are blossoming outside Antonina’s window. She has been quarantined, alone in her apartment, for almost two months.
Antonina is 23 years old and nonbinary – she doesn’t identify as male or female, and accepts any pronoun people assign to her.
She has cropped dark hair and talks softly during our video chat.“Yesterday, on the street, a little boy called me ‘lady,’ and an old lady called me ‘boy,’” she tells me.
