For all those fears and concerns that other trans people have, I simply do not have them. So, without question, I am smashing that magic queer/trans button to make me a cisgender woman!

It’s not as if I haven’t wished at least a million times that there was a button that could instantly transform me into a cis woman.
But but but. What about the fine print?

If you could push a button to swap sexes, would you? What if it were permanent not impermanent? What if pressing the button meant everyone has always known me as a girl, so there’s no sacrifice or stigma?

I began to explore and search for my mum’s bras. I tried wearing it on my head, like a pilot getting ready to take off.
I wore the bra, and would sneak the bra back to the wardrobe before my parents came back.

I think about the magic button a lot. It’s burned into a lot of trans people’s brains, because it’s a tool we almost all use at some point — usually when we’re struggling the most.

I’m a #transgender woman. I spent years living in a body and a social role that didn’t fit. I want to tell you what I noticed from the perspective of someone who has genuinely lived on both sides of the gender gap.

“Wait,” she lowers her voice, leaning in conspiratorially. “Don’t take this the wrong way but… are you trans?”
My heart does that familiar little stutter.

Back then, in the late ’80s and early ’90s, liking what girls liked was a risk. The rules weren’t written down, but everyone knew them. Boys could wear sports logos or heavy-metal tees. Girls got pink, glitter, and heartthrobs.

A series of sketches of my OC Lethe noticing another man. The text reads, "shit! Fucking Errol!"

The squall had come from nowhere. The weather prediction had been fine; our afternoon forecast called for smooth sailing.
Then a water spout appeared about a mile away on the port side.

I miss the simplicity of the flat-worlders’ ignorance of science. They like their world simple, just flat.
Deniers want their gender to be as simple as well, biologically male or female, as if nature is that cut and dry.

We are not born with masculine behaviors; they are taught, modeled, and expected of us.

The first time I put on that basic stretchy red work shirt and looked in the mirror was one of the first times I looked at the curves of my body and felt right.

Though I did not personally know everyone who would be in attendance, I worried I might be be the only gender-non-conforming or #transgender person there.

I am tired of conforming to society’s idea of what a woman is or should be. Buying razor blades and shaving cream is expensive. As I age, bending to reach every nook and cranny is becoming more and more difficult.

So are you two sisters?
I chuckled and shook my head, insisting —
I’m a boy!
And their jaws dropped. They genuinely couldn’t believe it.

The truth is, I never really felt different, in the sense that I was in the wrong body, as a kid. By the time I hit my early twenties, I just felt like a person. I enjoyed “female things” and “male things”.

Publicly, Kurt was vocally critical of toxic masculinity and embraced feminist ideas, often performing gender-nonconforming acts like wearing dresses as a form of anti-conformist protest.

It’s been a slow process, learning to trust that I don’t have to be a “real man” by anyone else’s standards. My version of #masculinity can be quiet and tender, strong and vulnerable all at once.

No one fell off,
into the abyss.
Where was the edge?
who said it was flat?
And the double helix?
Chromosomes, Alleles and genes,
XX and XY, male and female, says who?...

The truth is, the concept of “biological sex” is not ancient. It’s not universal. It’s not neutral. It was born out of the need to justify inequality — to fix differences and create hierarchies.

Most people don’t understand who is who, and for them, we are all “men in dresses.” In some cases, it’s true, and there’s nothing bad about it, but in others, it can be offensive and lead to high distress and anxiety.

I know many people will be sitting down to write about their grief as I am doing. It is a way for me to deal with what I feel is a personal loss as a citizen of the United States of America and as a #gay man.

If their breasts were not deemed large enough, they would not be allowed to keep their bras. I felt like I’d woken up to some imagined dystopia, but they say truth is stranger than fiction.

They told me to give up, but that only fueled my need to push forward. I wanted to prove that I did belong, that I wasn’t the weak girl they told me I was.
