It is awfully easy to assign a TG label on your self, however, I honestly think such is taken for granted simply because of lack of clarity and self retrospect.
Do you remember the first moment YOU knew WHO you were?
Who was that person, a boy, girl or was it a transperson.
I'll bet green beans that the realization at the moment of clarity did not point to a trans anything but had a more specific solidity about it.
I may be wrong, and my experience may be unique, but at that moment as a young child I knew that the world was a very confusing place because being me didn't make sense, as I knew I was someone specific, yet my body and my environment told me different.
So as an after thought, as though the best fix available was a label which sounded atrocious, sick and twisted, I had to obey the law of the foreign world and succumb to the imprisonment of leper amongst normal.
Trans, at least to me described the abnormality of my situation, but it "DID NOT DESCRIBE ME"
Now I am exquisitely grounded in being exactly who I know my self to be, and such isn't a description of the former lack of congruity, but now it describes me being the child who was born into this realm, who has known her self to be a girl, who had to fight and in a way, still is fighting for dignity of self in being a WOMAN!!!
So I will ask YOU a simple question.
Who were YOU born as?
