Trans lesbian in USA.

I couldn't agree more. The idea that being raised as something I'm not is some kind of privilege is beyond preposterous. For most of my life, I didn't understand why I always felt like I had to hide a secret because I couldn't figure what the secret was, despite the fact that at 15 I couldn't decide whether I had a crush on Molly Ringwald or wanted to be her - or both. It's so obvious now.

I am more misandrist than you appear to be. I know a couple good men, but for the most part I don't really enjoy their company. For a short time - unless/until they start talking about women.

I watched "Tig" and "Disclosure" in the past few days and realized that an easy way for me to explain why I haven't transitioned is that I identify more with Tig Notaro than with Laverne Cox. That's one more step toward a full understanding of who I am.
