I have a honest question: why? I’d like to understand better because, to be honest, I can’t. I’m sure I’m missing something.

This is just like rejecting your full legal birth name for a cooler nick name

We can't give up

He didn’t say ‘ it was equivalent to ‘ tho did he , he said it felt like.
Also u don’t need to add the ‘Ed’ to trans people 🤣

Those bigots on Twitter would downvote you for this obviously true statement. I hate bigots.

Perry, this story literally gave me goosebumps! You’re so brave. I had to set down my copy of Bodies That Matter by Judith Butler and go for a silent walk to think about your story. Your posts are powerful.
