We’re going to have to refer to the judges on that one.
Judges?
I don’t think anyone else’s opinion will help much. “Trans” is as broad or as strict a label as any other. When it comes down to it, you settle for a loose definition that makes the most sense to you, and decide if you want to apply it to yourself or not.
I’ve been thinking about my own sexuality a lot recently, and I’ve known for years now that I wish I’d been born a lesbian. I don’t enjoy the male form from a visual stand-point (my own or others), some of my closest friends have been bisexual women, and overall I just feel like my personality would be better reflected by a feminine form.
But, having said that, I don’t feel any intense desire to change who I am. This body, though ungainly, has served me well. I don’t feel that it is restricting me from leading a mostly enjoyable life, I just wish things had turned out differently. I can’t honestly imagine a sex change, or even changing gender pronouns, after all these years. I’ll settle for growing my hair out long, continuing to act however the hell I want, and hoping that one day I’ll be able to look in the mirror and like what I see.
So I don’t consider myself trans, but I could see where others could consider me as such. I’m not going to get upset if someone disagrees with my self diagnosis, because I don’t really care how others see me as long as they treat me with kindness.
tl;dr: YOU are the one who gets to decide if you are trans or not.
I’m a goddamn white male pretty princess, motherfuckers.
