You spoke your own truth, from the heart. And did so even though it does not align with popular conceptions. That should be all anyone can want as far as handling the subject goes. And those of us who have found our own truths in such matters notice, and appreciate, your own convictions.
Perhaps you will someday find a reframing that fits your mind and body, and from which you can draw strength. Or yours may be another way. Whatever it is, I hope it comes. You will instantly know when it does.
Thank you for the compliments. Being public with my own experience is one way I can help diminish the power of obligatory gendering and gender policing. (I am still looking for a custom button vendor at conventions I am attending. I want one in genderqueer colors that says, "Defund the Gender Police".) And showing that our experiences are similar in some ways, while being diverse in others, is something I can hope will enrich the general understanding of who we are and how we move through life.
