How do I know that I am woman, and not "Assigned Male at Birth", based on my physical anatomy?
When asked this question, I cannot answer scientifically, or medically with assuredness, but I DO respond with this analogy:
When asked why I think/believe/feel that I am a woman, I respond with this:
"Have you ever put on a T-shirt backwards? NOT inside out but front to back. You feel slightly uncomfortable but can't put your finger on the reason. It's your shirt, it hasn't shrunk, but it feels 'off' somehow. Suddenly, with a Homer Simpson "D'OH!" you realize the problem and correct it. All better.
Well, that is how I felt being labeled as masculine. The label fit, externally, but internally, it was uncomfortable and forced me to act, behave and perform as something I wasn't. For most of my life, I walked around with my "T-shirt" on backwards."
I dare y'all, to prove me wrong.
