1 Answer

Answer :

I began identifying as a gender non-conforming person about 2 years ago, have made no physical changes (as I don’t have a problem with my body, just with what others expect of me because I have it) and I affirm my identity around people that I care about and through my LGBT activism and work within the community. The factors were knowing many trans people in college and learning about genderfluid identities through the LGBT office at NYU and learning queer theory. My father is dead and he never even knew I wasn’t straight, let alone that I don’t feel like a woman. My mother ignores both statements when I make them and says that when I was an infant, I put pearls on my neck and stopped crying which means, clearly, I’m a real girl. Most of the time I pass as a woman but my friends know how I identify and when I get close enough to a new friend, I tell them as well. Again, I know we disagreed in the past, but if you need ANY help on this, I am there for you about any of this and can connect you to people who did transition or who present differently, etc. Oh and incidentally, I just stumbled on this great op-ed by a trans individual.
