Dangit, I got distracted and forgot I hadn't finished this paragraph. X3 What I
meant to say was, there's a whole thing here about how having a really narrow
definition of identities and ways of being excludes people from learning more
about themselves and crafting an identity which isn't in line with people's
expectations. Binary trans people I'd known since forever, but the idea that you
didn't have to be a boy or a girl - an idea that I'd groped blindly towards
repeatedly growing up, only to be dismissed out of hand each time - didn't show
up until much later. And the idea of gender fluidity as a thing you could
identify as didn't show up until after that; despite it fitting perfectly with
vague ideas I'd had about how I'd be equally comfortable being reincarnated as
any gender, I didn't actually realize that that was me until I'd heard the
concept, had a while to process it, and was thinking about it idly on the bus.
My point is, we have to let people be who they are, no matter how weird that is,
no matter if they're Lass Lad, Multiple Personality Lass, Anal-Retentive Archive
Kid, or Frothing-at-the-Mouth Lad. I think that's more than reasonable. <3
