Isn’t it remarkable how life begins by handing us our bodies—our unchosen “starter kit”? Whether you’re tall or short, strong or frail, have a crooked nose or slanted eyes, or a body that’s drawn to the same sex, you don’t get a say in the matter.

…and yet, we’re expected to live in it, make peace with it, and somehow thrive in it.

Through thought-provoking stories, philosophical reflections, and sometimes painful realities, this mini-series investigates the bodies we inhabit, the societal expectations surrounding them, and the inner battles they spark.Why do we instinctively measure our worth against standards we didn’t choose?How does biology clash with identity, and why does society pour fuel on that fire?When our emotions and thoughts go to war with our physical selves, who wins?Delving into themes of gender, identity, and the sheer randomness of existence, You Can’t Choose Your Body offers an insightful look at life as passengers in a vessel we never requested - and can never escape.
It’s not just about understanding yourself—it’s about recognizing the humanity (and fragility) in all of us.
Will you embrace your “starter kit,” or keep fighting against it?
