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
